Watchmen:

 

Warner Bros. and Fox have come to a settlement over the release of Watchmen.

 

As part of the deal, the movie will still hit theaters on March 6th -- without a Fox logo. Fox will get an upfront cash payment said to be between $5 million and $10 million as well as millions of dollars in legal fees incurred during the case. Fox will also get a gross participation in "Watchmen" somewhere in the 5-8.5% range, depending on the film’s worldwide revenues. Fox will also collect on any sequels and/or spinoffs.

 

In a joint statement, the studios had this to say:

 

"Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox have resolved their dispute regarding the rights to the upcoming motion picture "Watchmen" in a confidential settlement. Warner Bros. acknowledges that Fox acted in good faith in bringing its claims, which were asserted prior to the start of principal photography.

 

Fox acknowledges that Warner Brothers acted in good faith in defending against those claims. Warner Bros. and Fox, like all "Watchmen" fans, look forward with great anticipation to this film’s March 6 release in theatres."

Iron Man 2:

Emily Blunt is the latest star to have their name rumored as circling the project as Mickey Rourke (Whiplash/Crimson Dynamo) and Sam Rockwell (Justin Hammer) are negotiating the possibility of playing villains in the feature. Blunt is said to be the frontrunner to play the role of Natasha Romanoff, a Soviet super spy who doubles as Black Widow, a beauty in a skintight black costume that is enhanced by high-tech weaponry.

 

 

 

Cowboy Bebop:

Keanu Reeves will topline 20th Century Fox's big screen adaptation of the very popular COWBOY BEBOP series. A relative unknown screenwriter, Peter Craig, is attached to pen the adaptation with Sunrise Inc. (original anime producers) working closely with Fox on the adaptation. Reeves will play bounty hunter Spike Spiegel.

 

 

 

The Karate Kid (remake):

According to rumors, Jackie Chan is in his final negotiations with Columbia Pictures to join in on the remake of the classic The Karate Kid. The remake is revamped as a starring vehicle for Will Smith's kid, Jaden Smith with Harald Zwart on the helm (The Pink Panther 2, One Night at McCool's). The story is essentially the same as the original, but they are apparently only borrowing a few elements of the original. A young kid (Smith) gets bullied, so he learns to stand up for himself with the help of an eccentric master (Chan).

 

 

 

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo

Terminator: Salvation director McG has been hired by Disney to direct nautical family adventure 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo. The film is based on characters from the classic Jules Verne novel, and will apparently be an origin story for the titular captain, as he creates his warship - the Nautilus. McG is after box-office megastar Will Smith to play Captain Nemo.

 

 

 

Kick Ass:

Check out three exclusive new images from the upcoming movie Kick Ass starring Nicolas Cage, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Clark Duke and Lyndsy Fonseca. Written by Millar and drawn by John Romita Jr., the Marvel Comics' Icon imprint book centers on a high school dweeb named Dave Lizewski who decides to become a superhero even though he has no athletic ability or coordination. Things change when he eventually runs into real bad guys with real weapons. Johnson plays title character, while Fonseca plays the object of the teen's infatuation who believes Dave is gay. Cage is a former cop who wants to bring down a druglord and has trained his daughter (Chloe Moretz) to be a lethal weapon.

The Thing (remake):

Dutch helmer Matthijs van Heijningen ("The Black Meteor," "The Ball") is tipped to be helming Strike and Universal Pictures prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 horror/sci-fi classic "The Thing". Heijningen is pushing to make the lead character in his prequel the brother of the original film's lead character R.J. Macready (Kurt Russell). In the original an American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a group of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting a dog. The team soon realizes that an alien life-form with the ability to take over bodies is on the loose and they don't know who may already have been taken over.

 

 

 

Zombieland:

Emma Stone ("Superbad") is in final negotiations to star alongside Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg in Sony Pictures horror comedy "Zombieland".

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:

Check out the Japanese trailer...

 

 

 

Lost Planet: The Movie

Lost Planet, the hit game from Capcom, is in development as a film, and their "Head of Character Contents Business" Toshihiro Tokumaru has revealed that the film's likely to cost $150-200 million. The game's story is sort of Starship Troopers in the snow: players have to keep killing the alien Akrids to use their thermal energy to survive in the frozen climate of the planet EDN III. But there's an intricate plot as well, involving a mysterious corporation (NEVEC), a terraforming plan and the fate of main character Wayne Holden's father Gale. Avi Arad is introducing the proposed film version, and David X2 Hayter is writing the script. Let's hope that the mega-budget doesn't stop it getting made.

 

 

 

The Ghost:

Tom Wilkinson and Jim Belushi have joined Roman Polanski's The Ghost. The thriller, based on the novel by Robert Harris, stars Pierce Brosnan as a former British prime minister and Ewan McGregor as his ghostwriter. Kim Cattral, Olivia Williams and Robert Pugh also star. Polanski also wrote the screenplay with Harris. Filming begins in Berlin in February.

 

 

 

London Boulevard:

Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell will star in London Boulevard. The crime drama, based on the novel by Ken Bruen, casts Farrell as a South London criminal who, after release from prison, tries to give up the gangster life by becoming a handyman for a reclusive young actress. The project marks the feature directing for William Monahan -- who also adapted the novel. Monahan won an Oscar in 2007 for writing The Departed.

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn

Paramount Pictures and Sony Pictures Entertainment began principal photography on their Steven Spielberg-directed motion-capture 3-D feature "The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn." Jamie Bell has been cast as the title character, a globe-trotting young reporter, and Daniel Craig will play the villain, Red Rackham. Bell and Craig recently co-starred in "Defiance."

 

The 2011 feature -- the first of two, possibly three, planned installments -- is being produced by Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy and Peter Jackson, who will direct the sequel. Jackson's Weta Digital effects house developed the performance-capture technology the directors will use.

 

Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Gad Elmaleh, Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook round out the voice cast. Nick Rodwell, Stephane Sperry and Ken Kamins are exec producing. Serkis, well known for having embodied Gollum in Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, is playing both Haddocks. Pegg and Frost are playing Inspectors Thompson and Thomson, respectively. Elmaleh is playing Ben Salaad and Jones is playing a character named Silk.

 

The original "Unicorn" book is the first of a two-part tale involving pirate treasure. It focuses on Captain Haddock's ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock, and his fight against the nefarious seaman Rackham. The follow-up was "Red Rackham's Treasure." "Unicorn" featured two gun-toting siblings known as the Bird Brothers and a butler named Nestor. But new characters have been created for Spielberg's film to flesh out Tintin's world; they include a rival reporter, a bellowing editor and an American Interpol inspector.

 

 

 

The Story of Bonnie and Clyde:

The story of Bonnie and Clyde is getting a retelling, with Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegers in negotiations to play the infamous 1930s bank robbers. Tonya S. Holly is directing "The Story of Bonnie and Clyde" and producing the indie drama with Tom Rogers via her Cypress Moon Studios. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were Depression-era lovers and outlaws whose exploits captured the public's imagination. Their story has hit the big screen several times, with 1967's "Bonnie and Clyde," starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, considered a classic.

 

 

 

El Zombo Fantasma:

Death Ray Films is teaming with Maya Entertainment to adapt the Dark Horse comic El Zombo Fantasma for the big screen. Kevin Munroe will write and direct the feature. Dark Horse's Mike Richardson will executive produce.

 

The comic, published in 2005, tells the story of a murdered, temperamental Mexican wrestler who returns from his fiery damnation to play guardian angel to a troubled Los Angeles teenager. Zombo learns the teen is not what she seems and that their fates are intertwined. The character was created by David Wilkins and Munroe when they worked at a video game company. They will act as co-producers.

 

Death Ray and Maya hope to launch a franchise with the hero and plan on following up the feature with an animated series. El Zombo Fantasma has been described as a "Latino Hellboy," though the companies believe that with such elements as action, romance and redemption, it can pin down an audience beyond that demographic.

 

 

 

The Book of Eli:

Jennifer Beals is returning to the feature film world with a turn in "The Book of Eli," the Denzel Washington action thriller from Warner Bros. and Alcon Entertainment. Albert and Allen Hughes are directing. The script, by Gary Whitta with a rewrite by Anthony Peckham, centers on a lone hero named Eli (Washington) who must fight his way across the wasteland of a near-future America to protect a sacred book that might hold the key to saving humanity. Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis are also in the cast. Beals is playing Oldman's sexual prize and Kunis' mother, a blind woman doing anything she can to protect her child.

Lara Croft Reboots Without Angelina

Source: E! Online Wed Jan 28, 2009, 3:30 am EST

 

Angelina Jolie's loss may just be Megan Fox's gain.

 

Warner Bros. has confirmed plans to relaunch—and completely overhaul—the hot-pants-wearing, artifact-collecting Lara Croft: Tomb Raider franchise, with the first major casualty being Jolie.

 

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the third film will completely reboot the video-game-based character, including changing her origin story (most likely shying away from her English aristocracy roots), and introduce new kinds of missions, love interests and villains.

 

And, most notably, a new leading lady.

 

While producers say an actress likely won't be cast until a writer and director have signed on, Fox has emerged as the frontrunner replacement, at least as far as the blogosphere is concerned.

 

While Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and its inconsistently punctuated sequel, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, were produced by Paramount, the rights to the series have since reverted back to video game purveyor Eidos. In December, Time Warner increased its stake in the multimedia company, ensuring in-house studio Warner Bros. first dibs to what has been a lucrative, albeit critically panned, franchise.

 

The first installment, released in 2001, grossed $275 million worldwide, while the 2003 sequel earned $157 million. All told, the video game series, which launched in 1996, has accounted for more than $1 billion.
