Batman 3:

Rumor has it that not only will Heath Ledger be back as The Joker for the inevitable third "Batman" film, but another famed character is coming with him. As previously established by the filmmakers, Two-Face will serve as the main villain in the third Bat film and the transformation of Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) into the villain looks likely to take place late in events in "The Dark Knight." Now comes this report that unlike many a Bat-villain before him, The Joker will apparently survive the events of "The Dark Knight" and will make an appearance in the third film (much like talk of Cillian Murphy's The Scarecrow from "Batman Begins" making an appearance in "The Dark Knight").

 

Even more exciting than the idea that we may get the Joker in more than one movie is the identity of another villain who may be in Batman 3. According to rumors, “it could also include a certain female feline as well.” Bear in mind that the script for Batman 3 hasn’t been written yet, so it’s all just talk at this stage. But if this really is something Nolan is kicking around for a future Batman project, then don’t be surprised to see a few hints at the future arrival of Catwoman in The Dark Knight.

 

 

 

Street Fighter:

Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom have signed action specialist Andrzej Bartkowiak to direct Street Fighter, a live-action feature film based on Capcom's video game. Production is set to begin early next year with Fox distributing. Hyde Park's Ashok Amritraj and Patrick Aiello are producing while Capcom executive produces. The film is focused on female fighter Chun Li and her journey for justice. Justin Marks wrote the script and is currently doing a polish.

 

 

 

A Tale of Two Sisters (remake):

Based on the Kim Jee-Woon's 2003 Korean horror film of the same name, the story revolves around two sisters who return home to their father after spending time in a mental institution. Their recovery is hindered by their cruel stepmother's (Banks) obsessiveness and an interfering ghost.

Maguire, WB attack the big screen with 'Robotech'

TORONTO -- After slipping on a mask for Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire might be slipping into a giant robot for "Robotech."

 

After a lengthy negotiation, Warner Bros. Pictures has picked up the rights to bring anime classic "Robotech," which featured giant robots known as mechas, to the big screen. Maguire is producing through his Maguire Entertainment banner and is eyeing the lead role in what the studio plans on being a tentpole sci-fi franchise.

 

"We are very excited to bring 'Robotech' to the big screen," Maguire said. "There is a rich mythology that will be a great foundation for a sophisticated, smart and entertaining film."

 

Drew Crevello also is producing through his Supercool Hollywood BigTime Prods. Craig Zahler ("The Brigands of Rattleborge") has been tapped to write the screenplay.

 

"Robotech" was a cartoon series during the 1980s from Harmony Gold USA and Tatsunoko Prods. It was re-edited and re-dialogued to combine three Japanese anime series to give the producers enough episodes to air as a daily syndicated series.

 

A sprawling sci-fi epic, "Robotech" takes place at a time when Earth has developed giant robots from the technology on an alien spacecraft that crashed on a South Pacific isle. Mankind is forced to use the technology to fend off three successive waves of alien invasions. The first invasion concerns a battle with a race of giant warriors who seek to retrieve their flagship's energy source known as "protoculture," and the planet's survival ends up in the hands of two young pilots.

 

Frank Agrama of rights-holder Harmony Gold will exec produce; Jason Netter will serve in a producer capacity.

 

Matthew Reilly brought the project to Warners and is overseeing. Daniel Shafer brought the project to Maguire and will shepherd for the company.

 

The success of DreamWorks/Paramount's $311 million-grossing "Transformers" has other studios looking to assemble a giant robot movie of their own. Last month, Regency picked up 1980s Japanese anime series "Voltron," with Mark Gordon attached to produce. Ironically, Warners had the first giant robot movie back in 1999: Brad Bird's animated feature "The Iron Giant."

 

Maguire is repped by CAA, Management 360 and attorney Steve Warren. Zahler is repped by UTA and attorney P.J. Shapiro.

Michael Bay Originally Attached to Todd McFarlane's Oz?

 

post-31605-1189293590.jpg

 

A couple weeks ago we told you that Warner Bros and Village Roadshow Pictures bought the rights to make a movie based on Todd McFarlane's revisionist take on L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz will be titled "OZ". Well, IGN spoke with McFarlane about the new movie project and it was revealed that Michael Bay was originally somehow attached to the project.

 

"I came up with this huge, massive Lord of the Rings epic. It actually got fairly tight and succinct.""We actually went in there and for a while had Michael Bay going around with me pitching it," revealed McFarlane. "We had props, visuals, toys, storyboards, posters… I made little models of the city. I think it overwhelmed them. They said that they needed 20 minutes for a pitch and I was like, 'I need at least an hour and fifteen. I'm going to act out this whole movie and show you the whole thing because this movie is going to cost at least $140 million to make. I don't want you to not know what you're buying.'"

 

It took a long while until one of the movie studios actually bit. And McFarlane also says that the movie will probably be a lot lighter than the original concept seen in the action figure line.

 

"If you're asking someone for $140 million, they're completely the client. So you get to this moment in life where… they're not making the movie exactly that I would have made, but they're making something. And you have to go is that something better than, even if you had the power to insist it your way, not making it," he explained. "There are those moments where you just have to compromise a bit and go this is a collaborative effort and here's what the studio wants. It is dark and moody, but it's always been a PG-13 movie. You might not see that in the toys because the toys weren't built with that PG-13 in mind. The bondage Dorothy, in my pitch, is literally an eight second scene. Just one scene of her in that."

 

"There's a lot of money on the table and they have to get what they want, but that said, we've seen a marked movement in films with The Grudge, The Ring and The Lord of the Rings. Those are PG-13 movies, but to me they're right up against that R edge in terms of tonality. So you can still do dark and do PG-13. In three years, if we ever make it, whoever's in charge at that point will have much more control than I will. I'll be there as a producer and have my input, but I'll just cross my fingers."

 

A History of Violence screenwriter Josh Olsen is working on the script. I'm very excited about this project, I hope that the studio doesn't soften the tone that much. I think an R-Rated version of OZ would be more appealing just in the fact that it would be completely different from the original tale. The closer you get to PG, the closer the story will probably resemble the original stories. I wish we lived in a world where it was more important to create something creative and original, and not just something that will sell to the mass audiences. I would have loved to see a R-Rated Michael Bay version of the Wizard of Oz. But I'm probably in the minority.

JLA Movie Begins Casting...in Canada???

 

ObsessedwithFilm is reporting that casting has begun on the Justice League of America movie in New York, Vancourver and Toronto. Warner Bros have hired casting directors Susan Shopmaker (The Holiday, Mean Girls), Michelle Allen (Dead Like Me) and RDC Casting (The Shipping News), and sides have been posted for multiple roles on an industry audition site Showfax. However, the roles are all listed under vague codenames like “Male Option #1″, and the actual sides available to subscribers are actually scenes taken from Sidney Lumet’s Networ, Rob Reiner’s Few Good Men, and Gus Van Sant’s Good Will Hunting. You can see some of the sides here, here and here. Thanks to green of the SHH forums and moviehole for the info.

 

Having two of the casting offices in Canada seems to indicate that some (or much) of the filming may take place up north. Vancouver also happens to be the same place where Smallville tapes, which may further fuel the rumors of Tom Welling playing Superman (despite public denials from bough Alfred Gough and Welling’s management).

Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods Spy Photos

 

The Genre Project aka Indiana Jones 4 aka Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods is, as you already know, currently back in Los Angeles filming the remaining portions of the film. The production is sprawling, landing at most all of the studios in and around Los Angeles. Downey Studios, Sony Studios, Universal Studios, and Warner Brothers Studios.

 

I bring to you folks today some of what I could gather. First, Universal Studios. Yes, the South American temple is definitively for Indy/Genre. They were shooting exterior day scenes with a large blue screen this past Wednesday.

 

post-31605-1189294380.jpg

 

(the large white screen is used for diffusion, representing cloud cover, foliage cover, etc.)

 

post-31605-1189294427.jpg

 

During this period of filming, they had a production move to a parking lot near Falls Lake on the back lot. In this photo, take a look at the lower left hand corner of the picture, yes, that's Karen Allen walking away (feel free to match up her costume with the photograph on the official site).

 

post-31605-1189294496.jpg

 

Next up, on to Mexico Street. I don't have the most amazing photos, but think of it as the Cairo street meets HBO's Deadwood, it's very tight, cluttered, and dirty - in short, it's an amazing set from a production design standpoint (but I think we're all getting the feeling that every set is a labor of love from Guy Hendrix Dyas [he also did Sperman Returns, X-Men 2, and the Brothers Grimm]).

 

post-31605-1189294552.jpg

 

post-31605-1189294635.jpg

 

Next we head back over to the Falls Lake location. Located here are two large wave machines, a staircase leading somewhere (I won't spoil that for you), and an unpainted cave-like entrance. Looks like they'll be doing some pick-up/stunts shots continuing the Russian amphibious vehicle, the GAZ46, stunt. In the following photo you can see multiple GAZ46s awaiting action.

They also were prepping/touching up some Russian transport vehicles to be shot soon.

And lastly, a wide shot for you.

Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods Spy Photos (cont.)

 

Heading across the Los Angeles river over to Warner Brothers, here's where it gets a little interesting. The Genre Project is going to be shooting on Stage 16, and it's under extremely tight security. Apparentely they've been there for a long time constructing sets, however they'll only be there for about three days of filming. And yes, it looks like the interior of the South American temple. The sets are huge. And there may be more than one. Temple, that is. Or is there? The property department at Warner Brothers has a few items tucked away in the back with Genre hold cards on them... but they're Egyptian artifacts, and the location is listed as; "Ante Chamber." It's been rumored that the Deming, New Mexico location was used to stand in for Morocco, but no photos have appeared from that location. So are these to be put into a set that's a continuation of that location, or are these to be found in th South American Temple, and if so; "What you say!?" Exciting stuff, no?

Magneto:

The new script will apparently be bookended by current-day scenes of Magneto and Professor X (played by McKellan and Patrick Stewart, most likely), and then skitter back through the decades to tell of young Erik's experimentation at the hands of the evil Nazis, the later murder of his wife and child, and his eventual quest for revenge against the war criminals. Generally speaking, he's bitter. Goyer is currently scouting locations and working out the budget on the origin movie, which will potentially have appearances by Mystique and Victor Creed/Sabretooth, who also plays a significant role in the WOLVERINE solo movie. Both films may carry the subtitle of X-MEN ORIGINS.

 

 

 

John Rambo:

The fourth Rambo movie is set in Thailand, where a group of Christian aid workers recruit John Rambo to guide them up the Salween River to deliver medical supplies to the Karen tribe of neighboring Burma (aka Myanmar). When the missionaries fail to return, Rambo is persuaded to take a group of mercenaries back into the war-torn border region to find them. What follows is a descent into hell on earth.

Righteous k*ll:

Righteous k*ll follows two detectives (Al Pacino and Robert De Niro) on the trail of a murderer, trying to solve the case and resolve some issues they have. The movie co-stars Carla Gugino, Donnie Wahlberg, 50 Cent and John Leguizamo. It's directed by Jon Avnet and is pretty much guaranteed to be phenomenal.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull:

 

The title was announced by Shia LaBeouf during this evening's telecast of the MTV Video Music Awards. MTV parent company Viacom also owns Paramount Pictures who will be releasing the movie next summer. LaBeouf will star alongside Harrison Ford in the movie. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull also stars Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Ray Winstone, John Hurt and Jim Broadbent.

 

The crystal skulls turn out to be alien skulls, underneath a Mayan or Aztec pyramid that takes off and thus reveals itself to be a mothership of sorts.

The Young Bond:

Rumor has it that Daniel Radcliffe was being pursued to portray famed spy James Bond in his formative years, based on a series of YOUNG BOND books by Charlie Higson. The YOUNG BOND books tell of the future superagent's college years in the 1930s to match Ian Fleming's original Bond, though it's assumed the movie stories would be refitted to fall more in line with the character's latest screen incarnation.

 

 

 

Paddington Bear:

Warner Bros. is teaming again with Harry Potter producer David Heyman to bring another British kids classic to the bigscreen -- Paddington Bear. Hamish McColl (Mr. Bean's Holiday) is writing the screenplay for a live-action movie based on Michael Bond's series of books for young children about a talking bear who's adopted by a London family when they find him lost at Paddington Station.

 

Paddington has journeyed from Darkest Peru, wearing a duffle coat, hat and Wellington boots, carrying a suitcase containing an empty jar of marmalade and wearing a label around his neck that reads "Please look after this bear, thank you." His arrival in the household of the Brown family leads to comic mishaps and misadventures for the well-meaning but accident-prone young bear. Bond published 11 "Paddington" books between 1958 and 1979. They were adapted into a popular BBC animated TV series in the 1970s.

 

 

 

The Six Wives of Henry Lefay:

Jenna Elfman has joined the cast of The Six Wives of Henry Lefay for writer/director Howard Gould.

When his daughter (Elisha Cuthbert) returns home to arrange his funeral, she discovers that his current wife and her five predecessors are fighting over who gets to bury him. The fact that Lefay might not actually be dead further complicates matters. Paz Vega, Andie MacDowell and Kelli Garner also star.

 

 

 

Basement Jack:

It's about a man named Jack—who suffered childhood abuse from his mother, played by Lynn Lowry in flashbacks—gets out of an asylum and begins haunting the cellars of unsuspecting families, who soon fall victim to his big blade.

The Human Contract:

Jada Pinkett Smith will write and direct The Human Contract. Will Smith and his producing partner James Lassiter will produce through their Overbrook Entertainment. The film centers on Julian Wright, a charming and mega-successful businessman who hides a secret from the rest of the world which tears his soul apart every day. With his personal life in shambles, Julian will find himself willing to travel down the rabbit hole, as it were, when he meets Michael Reed, a gorgeous stranger who entices Julian to forget his rigid corporate world and try a more bohemian lifestyle, a decision that will not only affect his own life but those of his boss and co-workers, as well as inspire his half-sister Rita to re-examine her life with her abusive husband.

 

 

 

The $40,000 Man:

Terry Zwigoff (BAD SANTA) has signed on to direct the upcoming New Line comedy THE $40,000 MAN. The film is a parody of "The Six Million Dollar Man" and the story centers on a legendary astronaut and true American hero who finds himself horribly injured in a car accident and rebuilt by the government to be a bionic man, but on a budget of $40,000 -- which makes him not all that bionic. Zwigoff will also rewrite the existing script with frequent collaborator Daniel Clowes.

 

 

 

The Haunting in Connecticut:

Elias Koteas, Kyle Gallner and Martin Donovan have joined the horror film "The Haunting in Connecticut" for Gold Circle Films and Lionsgate. Based on one family's experience with supernatural forces after settling into a new home, Gallner will play matriarch Virginia Madsen's cancer-ridden son Matt, who becomes aware of the paranormal activity present around him. Koteas will play a priest and fellow cancer patient that Sara Campbell (Madsen) turns to for help. Donovan will play Madsen's husband.
