This is a series of incredibly striking original designs for robots, mech gear, vehicles, and weapons. They were created by CGHUB artist Bulgarov, and he calls the series the Black Phoenix Project. I want to see a movie set in a futuristic world with these things running around.

Here's a couple of photos from the Cleveland set of Captain America: The Winter Soldier giving us our first look at Sebastian Stan in costume as the masked Winter Soldier. 

I'm sure some better images will surface soon, but I like what I'm seeing from the character design so far. It's been rumored that the production had to be stopped on this scene and moved to a green screen sound stage due to all the people out taking pictures.

Marvel might as well just release an official photo.

Today's short film is a hilarious comedy called No F****** Around in Room 427, and I really think you're going to enjoy it.

Schwarzenegger Talks TERMINATOR 5, CONAN, and TWINS

Since Arnold Schwarzenegger left office as California's Governor he's only been in a couple of films, The Expendables 2 and The Last Stand, the latter didn't do very well. He's set to return and reprise his roles as a couple of iconic characters in Terminator 5 and The Legend of Conan. He's also looking to do a Twins sequel called Triplets and says Eddie Murphy will be playing the third triplet.

During an interview with Metro UK, the actor was asked about what was going on with Terminator 5, and this was his reply, 

We’re writing it now. There are three projects being written that involve me. One is Terminator 5, the other is a Conan movie that Universal is doing and there’s the sequel to Twins, which is called Triplets. We’ll all look quite different in that. The third triplet is Eddie Murphy, so figure that one out.

Out of all these movies, I'm most excited about Conan as it's the one that sounds like it will be the most badass. You can read more about that movie here

Which of these movies are you most excited about? 

Joss Whedon Wants to Direct a BATMAN Movie!

Earlier this week, Film Society of Lincoln Center hosted "An Evening with Joss Whedon," in which they screened his latest film Much Ado About Nothing, and after had a little Q&A session in which he talked about Firefly, developing Video Games, developing a full on ballet, Avengers 2, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch. The director also revealed that he wants to direct a Batman movie!

I just want to say how amazing it would be if Whedon ended up directing a Batman movie. I seriously doubt it will happen though because of his tight relationship with Marvel, and his sketchy past with DC.

Whedon talks about a lot of cool and interesting stuff here that I'm sure all you fans will enjoy reading. Thanks to Comingsoon we have a break down of the questions that fans asked Whedon, and the answers that Whedon gave them. 

On any Marvel character he wishes he could "do" (rephrased: to bring to some medium)…

"If I could get my hands on absolutely anybody it would be Batman. (audience applause) He's a Marvel character in the DC universe. And if I could 'do' any, probably Thor, because face it, those arms… (laughs)" 

On continuing the "Firefly" universe…

"Right now I'm happy to say everybody is working doing good jobs. There's a real fear of 'The Monkey's Paw,' you know? You bring it back to life and it isn't the same. Even if it's GREAT and it isn't the same. I'm dying to get on a ship with those guys again, but I'm also doing yet another goddamn huge ensemble movie ['The Avengers 2']. Why can't I do a movie about just one guy? So right now I can't even access that part of my brain. If all the planets align that would be great, but I'm not going to do what I did the first time and move heaven and earth to make it happen."

On what he'd like to conquer next in film or television…

"Probably not film or television. There's a ballet I'd like to do. The three people who'll go see it will love it! I can't really play any music and I want to do a full-length musical. There are books I want to write, so many things I'm excited about. There are more movies, obviously, more TV shows. I still haven't written enough spaceship movies, I can't get enough spaceships!"

On doing a video game movie…

"I've been approached a few times and gone down the path a little bit but it's never amounted to anything. I still don't understand why they never made a 'Firefly' game because it lends itself to a massive multiplayer thingy with many 'M's… I don't know what it's called! I'm old, look at me for God's sake! I have reading glasses. But at first I wasn't interested in video games because there really was no narrative, no character, no decision making, it was just 'bang-bang,' and that's really changed, it's become more and more interesting and more a form of storytelling that a lot of people are gravitating towards. The problem is I don't play 'em. There's video games, there's a career, there's a family, pick two. I never got the handle of them, as my nephews found out when they tried to play 'Gears of War' with me and suddenly I wasn't the cool uncle 'cause I kept shooting them by accident."

On Patton Oswalt's now-famous Star Wars filibuster scene on "Parks & Recreation"…

"A timeless piece of joy."

On the nebulous cinematic rights to the character Quicksilver, and whether Bryan Singer's decision to include him in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" will affect his inclusion in "Avengers 2"…

"And so continues the Q and not-A… That's not something I can really talk about, but Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are going to be in the movie and they're going to be AWESOME."

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Had Twice as Many of Viewers as HOUSE OF CARDS

Internet trafficking site Procera reports Arrested Development has garnered twice the amount of viewership in its opening weekend than House of Cards, and that those numbers could be higher. The company, which sampled Netflix trafficking of North America and Europe for the numbers, started late Sunday and say they might have missed a majority of "binge watchers", which would have brought the numbers up higher.

As many movie blogs have been pointing out, fans are loving the new season of Arrested Development for the most part. Doubt circulated the web though after a report by AP talking about Netflix's stock plummetting after a poor review from the New York Times and Variety and implicated the series may not be as much of a success as the company intended. However, if Netflix hailed House of Cards a success, then there is certainly no reason to believe, according to these reports, that the same can't be said for Arrested Development. 

Have you been hearing negative criticism about the new season of Arrested Development? I mean, do they expect the highly reputable news sources not to give pretentious $5,000 reviews about a much celebrated show? C'MON!

Clark Kent Won't Be Fully Realized in MAN OF STEEL

We've seen a lot of footage of Superman flying around, saving people and kicking ass in Man of Steel. As for Clark Kent, we've seen him as a kid and as a bearded crab fisherman, but we haven't seen him as the classic spectacle wearing character that we've all grown up with. 

While on a set visit for the film, Collider got some information on Kent from director Zack Snyder who says we won't see a fully realized Clark Kent in this movie.

I’ll only say that I think in a lot of — well, definitely in the movies — he always jumps straight from childhood to Clark. Like, he jumps from sort of his teenage version of himself to the adult version of himself. Frankly, The Daily Planet Clark, that happens pretty quick. I just think that our Clark, he’s not fully realized and I think — by the way, that’s huge information — but I think that’s the big difference. That’s why there’s this talk about who Clark is. In a lot of ways, the movie really is about the why of Clark, not to say that this kind of bumbling — I don’t want to call him bumbling — his mocky, nerdy Clark is… But that’s not the Clark that we went after or are going after. We’re going after sort of a different, there’s a different take on Clark, how Clark is.

When asked about the iconic glasses Snyder said,

The ones that he may or may not wear could’ve taken or may not have taken some time to find [Laughs]

What's funny about this is they actually showed Clark putting on his glasses in the Comic-Con trailer that Snyder showed off last year. So you will at least see that part of him unless they cut it out. You can check that out below. It's at the 1:53 mark. I'm curious to see what kind of sense of humor Clark has in this movie. He looks so depressed in the trailer! I hope he at least has a sense of humor.

What do you think about the personality change they are going for with the character? 

THOR: THE DARK WORLD - High-Res Photos and Director Issue Update

Five high resolution photos have been released for Thor: The Dark World. A couple of these images were previously released as low res scans, but these are much better. We also have an update on that rumor of director Alan Taylor being asked to leave the production until after the movie was released. 

Here's some information that comes from a Latino Review commenter Redbull Werewolf who claims to have the inside info.

Taylor Was apparently butting heads with [Marvel President Kevin Feige] over the run time and final edit. Taylor wants the film to be 2 and a half hours, Marvel says he's contracted to give them a 2 hour film and he's breaching his contract. He hasn't been fired but editing has stopped for 2 weeks while both parties take some time to cool off before a mediator will be brought in [the] middle of June. Bottom line is that the film is only 5 months from release and a decision is going to have to be made soon especially if re-shoots are required.

Who knows if there's any truth to this, but there might be. I'm just not sure why running time would cause such a big issue. Let's look at the previous Marvel films, Iron Man 3 - 130 min, The Avengers - 143 min, Captain America - 124 min, Thor - 114 min, Iron Man 2 - 125 min, The Incredible Hulk - 112 min, Iron Man - 126 min.

So it looks like they have been trying to keep their movies down to 2 hours with the exception of The Avengers. I don't care how long the film is as long as they tell a great story that makes sense. You'd think something like this would have all been planned out before they started shooting. I just hope that cutting out 30 minutes doesn't leave any holes in the story.

Intense Trailer for Hugh Jackman's Thriller PRISONERS

"How far would you go to protect your child?"

Here's the first incredibly intense trailer for the new crime thriller Prisoners, which has a great cast that includes Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Viola Davis, Melissa Leo, and Paul Dano. I've been looking forward to this movie. I've heard a lot of good things about the script, and as you'll see from the trailer it looks like it's a gripping movie.

Keller Dover (Jackman) is facing every parent's worst nightmare. His six-year-old daughter, Anna, is missing, together with her young friend, Joy, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had earlier been parked on their street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki (Gyllenhaal) arrests its driver, Alex Jones (Paul Dano), but a lack of evidence forces the only suspect's release.

Knowing his child's life is at stake, the frantic Dover decides he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands. The desperate father will do whatever it takes to find the girls, but in doing so, he may lose himself, begging the question: When do you cross the line between seeking justice and becoming a vigilante?
 

The movie is set to come out on September 20th, 2013. I've got a couple little girls myself, and I honestly don't know what I would do in a situation that these character find themselves in.

Here's a bloody red-band trailer for an awesome looking new World War II horror thriller called Frankenstein's Army. The movie was directed by Richard Raaphorst, and it stars Karl Roden (Hellboy, The Bourne Supremacy). The movie seems like it will deliver some fun entertainment. I love the concept of this! Here's the synopsis:

In the waning days of World War II, a battalion of Russian soldiers find themselves lost in enemy territory. Stumbling upon a village decimated by an unseen terror, they discover that a mad scientist (Hellboy's Karel Roden) conducts experiments to fuse flesh and steel, creating an unstoppable army of undead soldiers. Leaderless and faced with dissention amongst their dwindling ranks, they must find the courage to face down an altogether new menace - or die trying. 

The movie comes out on July 26th, 2013. Now check out the trailer for yourself! Be warned though, it's pretty gory! 

Disney's MILLION DOLLAR ARM Starts Filming with Jon Hamm

Disney has announced that Jon Hamm's new film, Million Dollar Arm, has started shooting. The movie is being directed by Craig Gillespie (Fright Night), and also stars Bill Paxton, Lake Bell, and Alan Arkin. Here's what the film is about:

Based on a true story, Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” follows JB Bernstein, a once-successful sports agent who now finds himself edged out by bigger, slicker competitors. He and his partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) will have to close their business down for good if JB doesn’t come up with something fast. Late one night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, JB comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next baseball pitching sensation? Setting off for Mumbai with nothing but a gifted but cantankerous scout (Alan Arkin) in tow, JB stages a televised, nationwide competition called “Million Dollar Arm” where 40,000 hopefuls compete before two 18-year-old finalists, Rinku and Dinesh (Suraj Sharma, Madhur Mittal), emerge as winners. JB brings them back to the United States to train with legendary pitching coach Tom House (Bill Paxton). The goal: get the boys signed to a major league team. 

Not only is the game itself difficult to master, but life in the U.S. with a committed bachelor makes things even more complicated—for all of them. While Rinku and Dinesh learn the finer points of baseball and American culture, they in turn teach JB the true meaning of teamwork and commitment. Ultimately, what began as a purely commercial venture becomes something more and leads JB to find the one thing he was never looking for at all—a family.

It sounds like it will be one of those great classic inspirational Disney sports movies. Here's the press release that offers a few more details:

Principal photography has begun on Walt Disney Pictures’ “Million Dollar Arm,” starring Jon Hamm. Directed by Craig Gillespie (“Lars and the Real Girl,” “Fright Night”), the film is produced by Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray, through their Mayhem Pictures, and Joe Roth, under his Roth Films banner, with Palak Patel and Kevin Halloran serving as executive producers. Tom McCarthy (“Win Win,” “The Visitor”) wrote the screenplay.  The film also stars Bill Paxton (“Haywire,” “Hatfields & McCoys”), Lake Bell (“What Happens in Vegas,” “It’s Complicated”), Suraj Sharma (“Life of Pi”), Aasif Mandvi (“The Daily Show,” “Margin Call”), Madhur Mittal (“Slumdog Millionaire”), Pitobash (“Three Idiots,” “Shanghai”) and Academy Award®–winner Alan Arkin. A.R. Rahman (“127 Hours,” “Slumdog Millionaire”) is scoring the film. “Million Dollar Arm” will shoot on locations in India, Georgia and Los Angeles. 

The producing team of Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray, producers of such notable sports movies as “Secretariat,” “Miracle” and “The Rookie,” joins forces with veteran producer Joe Roth (“Oz The Great and Powerful,” “Snow White and the Huntsman,” “Alice in Wonderland”) to bring Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” to the screen.

Director Craig Gillespie gained widespread recognition with the critically acclaimed “Lars and the Real Girl,” starring Oscar®-nominated Ryan Gosling. He also directed “Fright Night,” starring Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, David Tennant, Imogen Poots, and Toni Collette. For television, Gillespie produced and directed the highly acclaimed Showtime series “United States of Tara.”  His direction of the pilot episode earned Toni Collette both an Emmy® Award and a Golden Globe® Award.      

Golden Globe® winner Jon Hamm is perhaps best-known for his nuanced portrayal of high-powered, philandering advertising executive Don Draper on AMC’s award-winning drama series “Mad Men.” His previous film credits include “Friends with Kids,” which he also produced; “Bridesmaids,” “The Town,” “Sucker Punch,” “Howl,” “Shrek Forever After,” as the voice of “Brogan,” “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” “Ira & Abby,” “Kissing Jessica Stein” and “We Were Soldiers.” He recently completed HBO’s “Clear History” with Larry David for director Greg Mottola and the BBC miniseries “A Young Doctor’s Notebook,” opposite Daniel Radcliffe, which he also executive produced.  

Alan Arkin, one of the most respected artists of the stage and screen, won an Academy Award® for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the 2006 hit “Little Miss Sunshine.”  For his role, Arkin also won an Independent Spirit Award and a BAFTA Award, and shared in a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award® for Outstanding Motion Picture Cast, in addition to receiving an individual SAG Award® nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role.  Arkin most recently earned Oscar®, BAFTA and Golden Globe® Award nominations for his supporting performance in director Ben Affleck’s Oscar®-winning Best Picture “Argo,” which also won the BAFTA Award for Best Picture. 

Talented, multi-faceted actor Bill Paxton has starred in many audience-pleasing hit films, including “Titanic,” “Apollo 13,” “Aliens” “Twister,” “Mighty Joe Young,” “Spy Kids, 2&3” and “Tombstone.” He was recently seen in “The Colony,” “Shanghai Calling” and “Haywire.” On television, Paxton is well known for the series “Big Love,” for which he was Golden Globe® nominated, and recently starred in the award-winning miniseries “Hatfields & McCoys” opposite Kevin Costner.

Lake Bell wrote, produced, starred in and directed her most recent film, “In A World…,” which garnered Bell the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at Sundance this year. Bell was also seen at this year's Sundance Film Festival in the film “Black Rock,” opening in May 2013, directed by Katie Aselton. Other film credits include, among others, “A Good Old Fashioned Orgy,” Paramount’s hit comedy “No Strings Attached,” Nancy Meyer's “It's Complicated,” “What Happens in Vegas” and “Pride and Glory.”

Suraj Sharma won acclaim for his portrayal of Pi Patel in Ang Lee’s acclaimed movie “Life of Pi.” With no previous experience, Lee cast Sharma for the role of Pi, following an extensive, months-long search throughout India. For his work in “Life of Pi,” Sharma earned a Critics’ Choice nomination for Best Young Actor, an Empire Award nomination for Best Male Newcomer and won the Sierra Youth in Film Award from the Las Vegas Film Critics as well as the MTV Movie Award for Best Scared as Sh**t Performance, among others.

Aasif Mandvi, well known as a correspondent on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” is an accomplished actor who will next be seen in “The Internship,” starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. Recent films include “Premium Rush,” “Ruby Sparks” and “Margin Call.”

Madhur Mittal is best known for his performance as Salim in the acclaimed film “Slumdog Millionaire,” which won the Academy Award® for Best Picture of 2008 and for which he won the Screen Actors Guild Award® for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

Pitobash is a Hindi film actor known for his roles in “I Am Kalam,” “Shor in the City” and “Shanghai.” At the age of 12, Pitobash was honored with the “National Balshree Award” from the president of India in the field of creative performance. He later went on to join Bollywood as an actor.

Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” is slated for a 2014 release.

GRUMPY CAT Internet Sensation Gets a Movie

$

There are some things that I manage to avoid on the Internet. I've never heard of this Grumpy Cat until today, but apparently it's a big thing, which seems absolutely ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is the fact that Hollywood is going to take this stupidly popular Internet cat sensation and turn it into a family style comedy.

The movie will be based on a cat named Tardar Sauce, who's a scowling feline that became famous for appearing in memes. She won Meme of the Year at the 2013 Webby Awards. Ugh. Deadline also mentions a bunch of the cat's other achievements:

Grumpy Cat was named the most influential cat of 2012 by MSNBC, a most important Meme of 2012 by Mashable, and has appeared on such TV shows including TodayGood Morning AmericaCBS Evening NewsAnderson Cooper LiveVH1 Morning Buzz and The Soup. In March, Grumpy Cat was deemed the star of South by Southwest-i by news outlets. The appearances drew lines of thousands of people that spanned for blocks. Grumpy Cat received more social mentions in four days than anyone else at SXSWi.vThe cat’s official Facebook has more than 930,000 likes and a weekly reach well over 2 million. The official YouTube Channel has over 120,000 subscribers and over 20 million views. Grumpy Cat stars in a collection of webisodes in partnership with Friskies and the Will Kitty Play With It series. Grumpy Cat merchandise sells at Walmart, Hot Topic, Thinkgeek and many other retail stores.

I seriously can't believe this. It's a cat! All cats look grumpy! I guess a movie was bound to happen, but I don't get it. Here's the cat's bio:

Grumpy Cat became an internet sensation after her photo was posted on Reddit on September 22, 2012. It was suggested that the original photo was photoshopped, so we posted a few videos on YouTube. The videos went viral and her popularity has continued to increase!

We aren’t exactly sure about Grumpy Cats breed; but she looks nothing like her mother or father. She looks similar to a Ragdoll or Showshoe; but there have never been any of that breed around the house. Her mom is a calico domestic short hair cat and her father has grey and white stripes. (Though I suppose there could be a different father, promiscuous cats you know…)

Tardar Sauce [visits] the vet regularly and she has a clean bill of health. Her petite size and famous face is likely due to feline dwarfism and her rear end wobbles a bit when she walks due to this; otherwise she is a perfect little kitty! She is not a munchkin cat and was not bred purposefully from other munchkin cats. (We don’t breed kitty’s and her parents are normal sized domestic short hair cats.)

M. Night Shyamalan Getting Closer to Making UNBREAKABLE 2

One of my favorite films from M. Night Shyamalan was Unbreakable. I even liked that movie more than The Sixth Sense. Unbreakable was made back in 2000, before superhero movies were as popular as they are now. It was one of the first superhero films to give us a realistic, gritty take on superheroes. The movie was great, and it was ahead of its time. After that Shyamalan lost me, his films just got progressively worse, and I don't ever think he'll make a good film again. I haven't seen After Earth yet, but the reviews for it haven't been kind. 

I've always wanted to see an Unbreakable sequel, but I don't think it's ever going to happen. I'm not sure I even want to see it at this point, because Shyamalan might ruin it. He's talked about doing a sequel for several years now, but in a couple of recent interview he reveals that he's still working on it, and that it's getting close. 

Here's an interview with MTV in which he says he's getting closer to making it:

 

 

When he mentions the word "hollow" in the interview my first thought was, "oh that's funny, because most of his films have been hollow."

Then there's an interview with The Huffington Post that included this conversation about the sequel,

Huffington Post: There’s been talk of an “Unbreakable” sequel for a long time.
M. Night Shyamalan: Yeah.

Samuel L. Jackson seems to want to do it. I saw you two talking on Twitter.
It’s a harder one for me because — it’s getting closer, by the way.

I feel like I’ve heard that for the past 10 years. I want that to be true.
I want it to happen, too. We’ve been talking about almost the same subject in every one of your questions, which is artistic integrity — something versus an agenda. Right? And almost every single one of your questions was agenda versus intention, even though you didn’t realize it, but it kind of fell into that theme as we were talking.

Agenda how?
So, like you think I go and I write, “Oh, I’m going to write a twist ending.”

I didn’t know. That’s why I asked.
That’s an agenda versus “I want to talk about loneliness.” And then it comes out, “How is the best way to talk about loneliness?” Intention versus agenda. And then I go, “Oh my God, if I make a movie about loneliness and everybody hated it, will it be able to come out and people will get it?” That’s when you start going, “Oh my God,” and you try to push that away. The same thing with “Unbreakable,” to some extent, it’s excitement to be made. “It’s such a fun thing” is squashing my ability to find the thing that’s connecting me with it. Does that make sense? So, I don’t feel like I did it for agenda reasons. So, slowly I’m getting a story in my head that I feel like is able to tell what I’m feeling right now.

For people who like that movie, it sounds encouraging.
Yeah, it is! The story of a guy who kind of wakes up with a little gray feeling in the morning, I love that character. It’s something that I feel and I want to talk more about that character.

If After Earth doesn't do well, who knows what will happen with Shyamalan's career. I honestly don't understand why studios are still willing to work with him because he's no longer a marketable name. When people hear or see his name they cringe, which is why you never saw his name on any of the marketing materials for After Earth. I'm sure he'll continue to work here.

What are your thoughts on Shyamalan, and do you think he'll really ever get to make Unbreakable 2

This latest image from Jeff Wadlow's Kick-Ass 2 comes from Empire Magazine and features Aaron Johnson jumping and striking a clumsy Spider-Man-like pose.

Catch up on all of our Kick-Ass 2 news by clicking here. The badass looking film hits theaters on August 16th, 2013! 

Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol.

When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.

Here's a new casting update for The Expendables 3: Resident Evil's Milla Jovovich is in negotiations to join the explosive sequel as one of the ultimate badasses. I guess if any woman were to join in on the action in this testosterone filled franchise, it would be Jovovich. She's earned it.

Deadline is also reporting that the studio is also in "advanced negotiations" with Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, and Nicolas Cage. There's are all names that have previously been mentioned, but it now looks like they will actually end up being in the movie. 

The movie will be directed by Patrick Hughes (Red Hill), and it's scheduled to start production in August. The cast of the previous film also included Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Nan Yu, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Liam Hemsworth, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It is yet to be seen who from the original cast will return.

The director of The Muppets, James Bobin, is in early talks to direct the sequel to Disney's Alice in Wonderland. This seems like it would be a much bigger project for the director, who has also worked on HBO's Flight of the Conchords. He's currently developing The Muppets … Again! for Disney.

I didn't really care for Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland, so maybe Bobin will end up bringing something interesting to the table. As of right now there are no story details, but it's safe to say that Alice is going back to Wonderland where she will team back up with the Mad Hatter for another adventure. 

There's not much more information at this point, but do you think Bobin is a good choice to take it on?

"I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary" - Heath Ledger

This video is an excerpt from a 2012 German documentary-series called Too Young To Die. The video features a scene where Heath Ledger's father talks about his son while looking through the diary that the actor kept while he was prepping to play the Joker in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. You get a good peek inside some of the things that inspired his incredible Oscar-winning performance. This is really cool, so I thought I'd pass it along for the rest of you to check out!
