Rumors have been flying that Warner Bros. Pictures wants Rain to star in their remake of Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon".

The classic movie about the martial artists turned undercover agent to bust a drug operation is being remade by Warner Bros. with the production title "Awaken the Dragon"

"Awaken" will be set in modern times and will revolve around the life of a FBI agent who follows a monk into the underground world of MMA fight clubs.

With Rain's new movie, "Ninja Assassin" set for release on November 25th, it seems like Rain is already gaining popularity in Hollywood despite the box office disaster, "Speed Racer".

Back in April we heard that Universal were aiming for a Bourne 4 summer 2011 release and a draft of the script should be finished by June. Well it is now the end of July and according to Matt Damon they still don’t have a script.

From Sci-Fi Wire:

“I just saw [producer] Frank Marshall, and we were talking about it,” Damon said in a group interview today in Pasadena, Calif., where he was promoting his History Channel special The People Speak. “Then I’ve talked to [Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum director] Paul Greengrass quite a bit about that.”

During press rounds for Ultimatum, Damon and Greengrass joked that a fourth film would have to be called The Bourne Redundancy, because the character has already found his identity. For his part, Damon says he’s interested in reprising the action-hero role, but won’t commit before confirming the quality of the script.

“Oh yeah, we won’t do it unless it’s good,” Damon added. “Promise.”

The literary world was able to continue the Bourne series even after Ludlum’s death: Eric Van Lustbader wrote The Bourne Betrayal, The Bourne Deception, The Bourne Legacy and The Bourne Sanction. “I didn’t read those,” Damon said.

Since a script is still a long way off, Damon has not had to hit the gym to get back into fighting shape. He will, when the time comes, if necessary, he said. “Not yet,” he said. “None us have kind of seen [a script] yet, and Paul’s still cutting a movie that we worked on, so we’ll get together and talk about it.”

George Nolfi has been hired to write the script, so he could be working on it as we speak. Aslong as they get things going during 2010 they should hit their 2011 spot.

Resident Evil: Afterlife is planning filming for September this year. And it's going to be 3D. Milla Jovovich told ShockTillYouDrop that during an interview August 2:

“There’s a great script and it’s going to be pretty wild. It’s going to be in 3D,” she said diplomatically. “They figured out a lot of stuff. We start shooting in September, they’ve got it all figured out at this point.”

Anderson has really been getting prepared to make his return to directing the franchise since the first movie, especially with the 3D factor being added to the equation. “He’s been really studying it and seeing all the different things they have and watching every 3D movie ever made pretty much,” Milla told us. “Especially for a movie like this, because it’s wild and a lot of action and a lot of potential for 3D to use the medium at its best. Paul has been going to every 3D company and he’s now signed a deal to go with Jim Cameron’s 3D company–they did ‘Avatar’–It should be pretty interesting. I’ve never actually seen a 3D movie.”

James Cameron and his company spent years developing “3D virtual cameras which would produce stereoscopic 3D images simulating human sight” for Avatar, and the technology is supposed to bring 3D out of the ‘kid movie gimmick’ phase and revolutionize movies forever. That’s what they are saying. We’ll have to wait till December to see if the technology achieves that, but with more and more movies being filmed in 3D it looks like we’ll be seeing more of it in the future anyhow.

Vampires are becoming the THING in Hollywood at the moment. Pretty much everyone is making a Vampire movie or show; either scary, romantic or in between.

Well, Universal is getting on the wagon with "CIRQUE DU FREAK: The Vampire's Assistant".

The film centers on a young boy who meets a mysterious man at a freak show who turns out to be a Vampire. After a series of events the boy leaves his normal life and goes on the road with the Cirque Du Freak and becomes a Vampire. Watch the trailer below!



The film is directed by Paul Weitz (American Pie, In Good Company) and will be released on October 23rd. It also has quite a cool cast, consisting of John C. Reilly, Ken Watanabe, Ray Stevenson, Orlando Jones, and Salma Hayek.

Jason Segel is attached to star alongside Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman in "The Adventurer's Handbook," a comedy for Universal.

Jonah Hill, Matt Spicer and Max Winkler wrote the script, about four childhood friends who are bored with the monotony of their lives and embark on a global adventure inspired by the stories of explorers detailed in Mick Conefrey's book "The Adventurer's Handbook: Life Lessons From History's Great Explorers."

Universal picked up the book rights as well as the script in February.

Segel would play a talented musician who never got his act together, becoming a backup piano player and an alcoholic; Hill plays an engineer, isolated from his family; Schwartzman is a spoiled and cowardly three-time Grammy winner. (Kinda like Without a Paddle)

The studio hopes to be in production by early next year for a 2010 release.

DC Comics and Warner are in the works for a movie of Adam Strange.
The premise of the movie is:

An archaeologist is suddenly sent from Earth to another planet where he must protect it from outside dangers.

Right now the movie is on PITCH status with the company wanting a 2013 release.
Will continue updating when I hear something.

Aside from the "Mass Effect" film that will be produced by "Spider-Man" producer Avi Arad, EA is in business with Universal on "Army of Two," with Scott Z. Burns ("The Bourne Ultimatum") scripting and Scott Stuber producing. EA's "The Sims" is being developed by producer John Davis and "Dante's Inferno" by Strike Entertainment.

The Electronic Arts hit vidgame "Dead Space" is on course to become a sci-fi/horror film with "Eagle Eye" helmer D.J. Caruso attached to direct, following the trend of VidGames turned to Films.

"Dead Space" becomes the fifth EA title to make into a feature film.

This time is the turn of video game:


Avi Arad Productions will be in charge of bringing this video game to life. Right now the movie is in its early stage due to the fact that they don't even have a final script yet(treatment/outline). They are hoping for a 2012 release, but nothing is final.

As soon as there is more information. I will post it for you.

Sacha Baron Cohen has already made movies out of all three characters from his HBO series Da Ali G Show, now what?

Will that be the end of Sacha's mockumentaries?

That's not what The Sun is saying.

Accoring to them, Sacha Baron Cohen is developing a new character with his partner Dan Mazer for another movie. The film appears to be a mockumentary about a “Eurovision singer”. Eurovision is kind of like an international American Idol in which European countries submit songs and then audiences vote on the best one via a live television broadcast.

It is not confirm yet, but knowing how Sacha is, it might be true.

Assuming any of this turns out to be true, don’t expect another one of Sacha’s ambush documentaries. He’s become too recognizable to pull them off and Cohen's has been clear that Bruno will be the last of those. Instead anticipate a fully scripted mockumentary.

Lindsay just confirmed through Twitter that she landed a new movie role.

The newly blond actress is set to appear in the "Grindhouse" spin-off "Machete."

Lohan tweeted

"Something was made official today!!!!!!!!!"

with a link to "Machete's" IMDB.com page.

Director Robert Rodriguez hinted he wanted to team up with the "Mean Girls" star in an interview with MTV.com in July.

The troubled actress's last film, "Labor Pains," went straight to TV. And she reportedly turned down the role in "The Hangover" that went to Heather Graham. That flick went on to gross over $200 million dollars.

"Machete" follows a highly skilled assassin who is hired to kill a senator when the tables are turned. Lindsay's potential castmates include Robert De Niro and Jonah Hill.

"Machete" will be her second movie role in the last two years.

Here a two new pictures of the upcoming Iron Man Movie straight from Comic-Con

Here’s what Marvel has to say:

We were privy to witness two scenes being film for “Iron Man 2.” The first scene depicted Tony (Robert Downey Jr.) looking down at a scale model of the Stark Expo, which closely resembles the New York World’s Fair Pavilion. This included a Unisphere at the center of the convention. As the camera panned from the level of the model towards Tony looking inquisitive at the Stark Expo, he spoke to himself, “The key to the future is…where?”

The second scene we saw featured a much more animated Tony, as he interacted with Jarvis in his workshop. The sequence required Tony to utilize the holographic-floor as he paced around the workshop to investigate further into the main pavilion of the Stark Expo. Prior to filming the sequence, we saw Downey speak with the post-production director regarding the ideal gestures and motions to best interact with the planned projected images.

In this scene Tony reconstructs the main pavilion by enlarging and relocating structures with his hand motions. Doing so evidently allows Tony to reach a conniption prompting him to remark to Jarvis, “I am discovering-rediscovering-a new element.”

Marvel then speculates after witnessing these scenes the following:

It became apparent that a central mystery in “Iron Man 2″ requires Tony to look into his father’s past, specifically the Stark Expo. This will play a major role in the energy crisis, which is a chief issue in the film.

In the photo below Robert Downey Jr is kickin back with producer Kevin Feige.

This may be obvious to those that watched Star Trek, but no amount of movie magic is going to bring Eric Bana back for the Star Trek sequel. Bana confirmed the news himself:

[Star Trek] was a one-shot deal. I had a great time. The whole Star Trek thing has been nothing but a blast and a great, fun ride. Right from the get-go, the shooting, the junket was fun, the touring with a really great cast, great group of people. We had a great time traveling together.

Bana is currently enjoying a "summer of Bana" with three summer movies: Star Trek, Funny People, and The Time Traveler's Wife. The Star Trek sequel is currently being written and may be the start of a two-part story.

With Terminator Salvation and the upcoming Avatar already under his belt, Sam Worthington is currently at work on Clash of the Titans and has two new project lined up: a remake of the Danish thriller The Candidate. Worthington will play a defense attorney who is hunting a group of blackmailers when he is accused of murder. And a remake of French thriller Anthony Zimmer. Worthington will play a American Tourist that its used by Interpol agent played by Charlize Theron.

The Candidate:
Playwright Beau Willimon will adapt the script, however no director is currently attached. Worthington will also produce, adding even more work to his busy schedule.

The Candidate won't be Worthington's first thriller, having already finished the upcoming The Debt, directed by John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). Worthington also has a romantic drama on the way with Last Night, where he co-stars with Keira Knightley.

Not bad for an Australian actor whose pre-Terminator work was fighting crocodiles in the horror movie Rogue.

DC is finally taking steps to make movies about their Justice League characters the way Marvel has been making ones about its Avengers. THR reports that DC partner Warner Bros. has brought in three DC comics writers to help consult on several titles, notably Geoff Johns, who has written both The Flash and Green Lantern comics.

So far, the closest thing to an Aquaman movie has been the brief, fictional Aquaman "movie" scenes shot for HBO's Entourage series, but with Warners searching for a good aqua-story and Leonardo DiCaprio's production company working on it, signs are positive that a real Aquaman will be made.

While DC's progress is hardly in line with Marvel's definitive slate of Avengers movies, it is a step in the right direction. Until they arrive in theaters, however, comic fans can only dream of a day when both Justice League and Avengers movies battle for box office dominance.

There had been talks of Tom Cruise starring on Spyglass Entertainment's thriller remake "The Tourist"

The premise of the movie is:

An American tourist is used by an Interpol agent in an attempt to flush out a criminal with whom she once had an affair.

Before Tom Cruise had made his decision to do the James Mangold comedy with Cameron Diaz, news were that he was attached to the upcoming film. Nevertheless, THR (The Hollywood Reporter) reports that Cruise has been replaced by Sam Worthington (the new "IT" Aussie Star from Terminator Salvation).

Filming is now scheduled to start in January, hoping for a 2010 release.

Sam Worthington will accompany Charlize Theron as the main characters.

The original French Thriller that this is a remake of was called ANTHONY ZIMMER and it first premiered in 2005. For the American version, the main roles will be switched, with Theron playing an Interpol agent who uses an American Tourist (Worthington)

It was not enough with the first one, they had to start with the second one.
What movie am I talking about?


QUARANTINE 2

Sony Screen Gems has officially started development on Quarantine 2, the sequel to the box office success from last October that grossed over 30m here in the States. The first film was a nearly shot-for-shot remake of the Spanish horror film [REC] (more like a copy-cat).
Nevertheless, because they want to be ORIGINAL, they won't do the same for the second one because Screen Gems is looking for a totally original pitch for the sequel.
Filmax is in post-production on their own sequel to [REC] that's slated for release later this year in Spain.

Wow,
what a way to be original Sony!!

The action continues from [Rec], with the medical officer and a SWAT team outfitted with video cameras are sent into the sealed off apartment to control the situation.

I don't have to say a lot about this, other than, it's going to be AMAZING!!!

Ninjas, who doesn't like them??
Assassins, how cool are they??

Put them together and you have

As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion – a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers – Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity…but who is watching the watchmen?

REVIEW : Great film. It is for 3 types of audiences (and I might be excluding some)
- Graphic Novel/Comics Readers
- Action/Special Effects Moviegoes
- Complicated Films Moviegoes

CONTINUED...


Every character has its own story but it does not take away from the main story.
This film was everything you would want in a movie.
It has:

- Comedy: Some jokes here and there. Subtle but it's there
- Action: Are you kidding me? From beginning to end
- Blood: Just the right amount, for the bitting they get
- Romance: For the ladies and some men as well
- Politics: How doesn't love to see the government being blamed for stuff

Long story short, Watchmen is for people that want to have some fun and/or like a movie with a message to mankind.


PROBLEMS: It does not continue, the story ends there.

WARNING: This film is not your typical superhero movie. IT IS NOT FOR KIDS.

So, if you don't want your kids to see blood, sex or a ENORMOUS Naked Blue Man, do not take them.

CLICK ON THE PICTURES FOR THE TRAILERS

Inglorious Basterds (August 21)

Talent: Quentin Tarantino( Director), Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Samuel L. Jackson (narrator)

Has there been a project more wrapped in uncertainty than Inglourious Basterds? Up until this week we weren’t even certain Tarantino would be releasing the film this year. Now it appears that the basterds will be invading theaters in August, as curious a release date as the case of Benjamin Button. We know we will see blood and carnage, as Tarantino proved that he can bring the pain in the Kill Bill series. But what makes Inglourious Basterds worth watching is the chance to see if Tarantino can mix his usual flash with some substance. And who doesn’t want to see Brad Pitt scalp a few Nazis? – Adam Sweeney



9 (September 9)

Talent: Shane Ackers (Creator), Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, CGI Ragdolls

One look at the recent trailer and you are instantly hooked… not bad for a movie that almost no one had heard of beforehand. Based on his own award-winning short, Acker’s 9 is a post-apocalyptic tale of living ragdolls, mechanical beasts, and a quest to save all of humanity. It’s also one of the most amazing and beautiful-looking CGI films yet, even if it is substantially darker than the usual CGI kiddie films. - Rob Hunter



Shutter Island (October 2)

Talent: Martin Scorsese (director), Dennis Lehane (source author), Leonardo DiCaprio, Emily Mortimer, Mark Ruffalo, Sir Ben Kingsley

If you’ve read Shutter Island, you already know how gripping it is. Even if you haven’t read Lehane’s work, you already know that two of his books - Gone, Baby, Gone and Mystic River - have already been adapted into Academy Award nominated and winning films. Now, fans of his work will get to see his story about two U.S. Marshals hunting an escaped murderess during a cataclysmic storm handled by the iconic talent of Martin Scorsese and the strength of a stellar cast. In an interview, Lehane claimed that Shutter Island was his attempt at blending the work of the Bronte sisters and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. If that’s the case, expect a blend of Jane Eyre darkness with Cold War Era levels of paranoia. - Cole Abaius





Where the Wild Things Are (October 16)

Talent: Spike Jonze (director/writer), Catherine O’Hara, Forest Whitaker, Catherine Keener, Paul Dano

After Max chases his dog around with a fork, he’s sent to his room without supper. But that room soon transforms into a jungle paradise of Wild Things. Other than an animated short from the 70s, fans of Maurice Sendak’s beautifully illustrated children’s book haven’t had much satisfaction in other mediums outside of opera, ballet and commemorative stamps. Luckily, the story will be brought to the screen by a director known for visionary work. Plus, literary giant Dave Eggers is taking his shot at screenwriting with this project, and if anyone can turn ten sentences into an entire film, it’s him. It’s been a long wait, which will make it all the sweeter when we all finally get to stare into a mythical world of mischievous eyes without blinking once. - Cole Abaius



The Fantastic Mr. Fox (November 6)

Talent: Wes Anderson (director), Cate Blanchett, George Clooney, Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston, Jason Schwartzman

It’s a great year for Hollywood to reach out to the child inside all of us, and Wes Anderson is joining us on the playground by adapting Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox. It’ll be his first animated feature, but he’s bringing along the usual suspects that seem contractually obligated to appear in every project he does. The story is simple - three farmers square off against a clever fox who steals their poultry every night to feed his family. It may not be the most well-known Dahl book, but I’m looking forward to seeing what Anderson and company can do with stop motion animation and a light-hearted children’s story. - Cole Abaius



Sherlock Holmes (November 20)

Talent: Guy Ritchie (Director), Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Mark Strong

After his all-over-the-map performances of 2008, all of which beloved, Robert Downey Jr. is eyeing 2009 as his year to bring back the detective’s cap. He’s shedding the armor of Iron Man (for now, at least) and the ridiculous hilarity of Kirk Lazarus and heading back to the late-nineteenth century to sword fight, box, solve mysteries and undoubtedly get the girl. Better yet, he’s teaming up with Guy Ritchie, who should be able to mix some period piece details with his high-energy style to make for one wild ride. That, and Mark Strong as a bad guy is becoming a welcomed hot trend (see RocknRolla for proof). - Neil Miller



Ninja Assassin (November 25)

Talent: James McTeigue (Director), J. Michael Straczynski (Writer), Rain, Naomie Harris, Rick Yune

The movie is called Ninja Assassin, do I even have to say why we’re excited about this film? Hell, the film’s star is so badass his name is just Rain. Like Madonna, but if she were a ninja. And a dude. And Korean. But seriously, this film follows a super bad ass assassin out for revenge against those who trained him, but then made the mistake of killing his best friend. The stunt work and fights are coming to you courtesy of 87 Eleven, the same guys who did 300, The Bourne Films, and The Matrix. Expect this movie to have the most slice-and-dice sword action of the year as well as be a strong contender for a Best Fight nod at the end of the year, even against a lot of stiff competition. Sharpen your blades and hone your shuriken, because this is going to be bloody awesome. - Robert Fure



The Lovely Bones (December 11)

Talent: Peter Jackson (Director), Rachel Weisz, Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon, Saoirse Ronan, Stanley Tucci

Peter Jackson is best known for his spectacular directing of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, a special effects wonder. But Jackson is no stranger to strictly dramatic affairs, Heavenly Creatures proves that. Like Kate Winslet’s turn in the aforementioned film, the adaptation of Alice Sebold’s best-selling novel offers a chance at a breakthrough performance for Saoirse Ronan. Jackson penned the screenplay about this tale of murder and the balance between revenge and forgiveness, one of my favorite stories of the past decade. As if the chance to see Rachel Weisz on-screen wasn’t reason enough to see it, we will all get our chance to forgive Mark Wahlberg for his performance in The Happening. Don’t be surprised if this film and the term Oscar-worthy become synonymous in 2009. - Adam Sweeney

OFFICIAL TRAILER FOR AVATAR WILL COME OUT SOON



Avatar (December 18)

Talent: James Frickin Cameron (Director), Sam Worthington

James Cameron is finally returning to feature film twelve years after Titanic, and that’s all that really matters. The man has yet to make a bad movie (including Pirahna 2: The Spawning… it had flying fish and it rocked!!) and Avatar looks to be the biggest film of the year. Mankind finds an inhabited planet and sends a soldier named Jake (Worthington) to plant the seeds of a peaceful conquest. Jake has other plans though and soon he’s leading the resistance against the invading humans. Epic, hardcore, sci-fi action guaranteed. - Rob Hunter
