Not much to this one, but we’ve now got confirmation that Halle Berry will once again wear a platinum wig to play the mutant Storm for director Bryan Singer in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Other cast members from the original X-Men cast assembled by Singer are returning for the director’s new chapter, including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Ellen Page, and Anna Paquin. Berry has been rumored for a while, along with other potential returnees James Marsden and Famke Janssen. Those last two are not confirmed at this point.

All I have to say about this one is, good. I want…

As New Line today opens Jack The Giant Slayer and Disney readies next week’s Oz The Great And Powerful, Hollywood’s infatuation with revisionist fairy tales shows no signs of abating. DreamWorks jumped into the fray last night by closing a mid-six figure against seven-figure deal for Merry Men, a pitch for a film that will be scripted by Brad Ingelsby with Act Of Valor co-director Scott Waugh attached to direct. Neal Moritz will produce through his Original Film banner. Waugh will also be a producer through his Bandito Bros shingle and Toby Ascher will be exec producer.

I’m told that the…

Things are really ramping up for Matt Reeves’ upcoming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. In addition to the returning Andy Serkis, recent reports name Jason Clarke and Kodi Smit-McPhee as two of the sequel’s principal cast. Now, ComingSoon.net has learned exclusively that Gary Oldman will be boarding the project as the leader of a human colony!

Yawn. Maybe I need to make time to watch the Planet of the Apes thing that James Franco was in, but I was so put off the franchise by the installment with Mark Wahlberg that I can’t muster up any “give a care.”

Actress Emma Watson is in very early talks to take on the role of Cinderella for Disney.

We had learned late last month that Kenneth Branagh replaced Mark Romanek as director. The film’s script is by Chris Weitz. Cinderella has already cast Cate Blanchett in the role of the Evil Stepmother.

Disney wants to begin shooting this fall and release next year. It’s the latest in a line of live action fairytales: Alice in Wonderland, Oz the Great and Powerful (out next month), and Maleficent (out March 2014) have been highly publicized and so far successful.

Those who’ve been following…

Some new scenes, mostly scenes we’ve already seen, but cut together in new and interesting ways.

I can’t help it, I think this is going to be a great film. Morgan Freeman and Tom Cruise in a sci-fi thriller, what’s not to like? And if this trailer is to be believed, the plot is headed towards a somewhat Matrix like deception perhaps? Time will tell, and we’ll know on April 12.

I’m looking forward to it.

Alright. Okay. Here it is. This is a thing or whatever.

Seriously, I don’t know what to make of this. Apparently Planes has been upgraded from “direct to DVD” to a theatrical release. Given how well Disney did with Wreck-it Ralph, I have a slightly more elevated hope that this will be good…

Alright, no, I think it’s going to be terrible.

I’ve been trying to figure out whether to post this or not. Sex trafficking is a big deal and needs to be dealt with and stopped. I’m behind that. But I’m not convinced a dramatic re-telling based on this true life story it is quite the right thing. Maybe a documentary would be more appropriate. On the other hand, I have no qualms with dramatic retellings of other horrendous things, and even think it a good thing (see my review of Downfall).

Perhaps I am balking at what I think may be the further exploitation of sex and young girls for the profit of the entertainment industry, under the…

A scooper (whom we know and trust 100%) has sent us reactions to early screenings of the film happening at WB, addressing many of the common concerns that we’ve all had from the beginning.  Here’s his bullet points from the screening(s):

- Imagine a Nolan story with Snyder effects/action.

- It’s the best movie of the year.

- There’s TONS of action with Superman kicking all kinds of ass in his suit.

- The cape is CG’d most of the time so it can look awesome.

- They have intentionally left out most of the the Super action in trailers to save it.

- It’s not nearly as dour and…

Getting geared up for this one! But even if you aren’t looking forward to this film, you gotta watch this spot for Morgan Freeman’s voice, right? I’d like to get him to narrate my life:

“As TJ sat poking around the internet for interesting film and TV news and videos, he came across a trailer for my upcoming film, Olympus has Fallen. Needless to say, he was mesmerized by my deep baritone voice.”

Well, I guess that would be pretty boring. Here’s the spot:
