Producer Frank Marshall revealed to IESB plans to begin shooting a fourth Jason Bourne movie next Summer, for release in 2010. Universal announced the project back in February, with director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon set to return. Marshall also confirmed that they will probably be creating an original story for the fourth film, since author/creator Robert Ludlum wasn’t involved in the later books in the series.
“There was a fourth book written, but it was not by Mr. Ludlum. So we’re probably going to take our own direction...

"It's right here," Smith said, holding up his legendarily prominent ears, which are not unlike Obama's lobes. "That's the key. That's the key. America loves ears, you know? Mickey Mouse started it; Goofy and Dumbo followed behind. And America just loves the ears."
All kidding aside, Smith said he's more than willing to sign on for a biographical retelling of the Obama life story, but, he said, not until the tale has a Hollywood-worthy third act. "As soon as he writes the end of the story," Smith said.
Unlike some of his fellow action...

Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway's "Get Smart," the Warner Bros. big-screen update of the 1960s TV spy comedy, raked in $39.2 million to debut as the No. 1 weekend movie at the U.S. box office, according to studio estimates Sunday.
But movie-goers did not get Mike Myers' "The Love Guru," the weekend's other new wide release. The crowds showed little affection for the comedy about a self-help mentor, the Paramount Pictures release taking in just $14 million to open at No. 4.
Mike Myers - who dreamed up the "Love Guru" character, co-wrote...

Paramount Pictures has snapped up a pitch titled Atari from writers Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman, with Leonardo DiCaprio attached to star. The actor will also produce via his Appian Way banner, reports Variety.
The film is a biopic about entrepreneur Nolan Bushnell, the creator of Atari and one of the founding fathers of the videogame industry.
Although Bushnell’s life rights had long been pursued by various suitors, Hecker and Craig Sherman convinced the gaming pioneer that they could do his unique story justice. Bushnell and Ted...

Warner Bros.' "Sex and the City" opened shockingly well this weekend, with the big-screen adaptation of the former TV series grossing an estimated $55.7 million domestically -- about double what many expected -- and grabbing first place on the frame.
The performance sparked immediate talk of a new film franchise's birth after the best-ever bow for a romantic comedy or an R-rated comedy of any sort. "The Strangers," an R-rated horror pic from Universal's Rogue Pictures, also outperformed pre-release expectations this weekend as the Liv Tyler...

Indiana Jones unearthed box office gold at US theaters with a performance that puts the film on track to become the second biggest beginning-of-summer Memorial Day movie opening ever, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Wanted" tells the tale of one apathetic nobody's transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008, we're introduced to a hero for a new generation: 25 year old employed slacker, WESLEY GIBSON. Wes is the most disaffected, cube-dwelling, clock-punching drone this planet has ever known. His boss chews him out hourly, his girlfriend ignores him routinely, and his life plods on in interminable boredom and routine. Everyone knows this disengaged slacker will amount to absolutely nothing, and so does he, until he meets the sexy, foxy...

Despite the fact that video game-inspired films have not yet attained either critical or financial success, the film industry still believes in them enough to invest some serious cash in upcoming game-based projects. Producer Steven Paul, who has brought movie audiences recent gems such as Ghost Rider and Bratz, announced that his production company, Crystal Sky Pictures, has managed to bring in $200 million to help fund five films. These include Castlevania, an unnamed sequel to Hard Boiled (which inspired John Woo's Stranglehold), and a...

Christian Bale 'to make three Terminators', that’s what BBC news confirms anyhow.
Apparently Bale will be in all three. The story doesn’t say either way whether Arnold will be in any of them, but it sounds like they’re in it for the long haul if they’ve signed Bale for 3!
Now of course it could all go south real quick in which case if the new one tanks they just scrap the other 2 I suppose, but lets see what they do with this.
With the recent news that a new Robocop is being re-made, plus all the money Iron Man produced, I...

As Galactica Sitrep noted Thursday, an internet radio show, The Doctor and Mrs. Who, reported last night that up to three “Battlestar Galactica” TV movies may get made later this year. Several sources at the show confirm that those films are indeed being discussed right now.
Executives are now doing number-crunching for these proposed films, and any deals for these movies are far from done. However, it would make sense to make more “Battlestar” TV movies while the show’s creative team and actors are still all in one place, as it...
