As we predicted earlier in the week, Taken 2’s extraordinarily strong performance at the box office has convinced Fox executives that there’s life in the franchise yet, with writer Robert Mark Kamen suggesting that a third film is moving forward.

Indeed, Kamen doesn’t make any bones about the motivation behind another sequel, admitting that the second film’s $100m global opening made everybody think twice.

Reading on, apparently Neeson isn’t sure he’s onboard. And honestly, I don’t have a lot of hope for a third film. I with they would just leave the franchise be now.

Here’s our first taste of the upcoming film Wreck-it Ralph. In this clip we meet John C. Reilly’s Ralph, and Sarah Silverman’s Vanellope von Schweetz as Ralph tries to tell the somewhat annoying Vanellope that he’s from the candy tree department.

We have some cool new pictures from the set of The Wolverine, which means only one thing – more Hugh Jackman! I know you love every single update on the James Mangold directed movie which is set to open next July, so make sure you check out the rest of this report for a better look at Jackman and his co-star Rila Fukushima.

As you already know, Jackman’s character Logan aka the eternal warrior and outsider, is this time in Japan, and right there samurai steel will clash with adamantium claw as he confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever…

Well, Brit thesps Emily Blunt and Ruth Wilson are reportedly the final two contenders to play Ms. Marvel in Marvel’s The Avengers 2, never mind that Ms. Marvel isn’t a confirmed character in the film.

For you non-nerds in the audience, Carol Danvers, later known as Ms. Marvel is an air force pilot who gains superpowers after an accident in a Kree device explosion – fusing her DNA into half-human, half-Kree.

Emily Blunt offered us a great performance in Looper. I was very impressed.

What do The Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, and a new independent Christian filmBeyond the Mask (currently in production) have in common?

John Rhys-Davies.

This evening the actor performs his first shoot on the set of the film, which takes place in the tumult of 1770s England and America. In 1981 and 1989 the SAG award-winning actor brought the good-natured Sallah to life in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Last decade he won the hearts of millions with his boisterous performance as Gimli in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Given the often contentious relationship between creators and the work they make, unions such as the Directors Guild of America serve a useful purpose. But sometimes rules just get in the way, which seemed for a moment like it would present a problem for Cloud Atlas, written by Tom Tykwer and Andy and Lana Wachowski (which is not a big deal for the WGA) and directed by all three as well. That last part is kind of a big deal for the DGA, which is old enough to remember when movies just had, like, ONE director.

Any credits issues for the film have been worked out, and so unlike the…

The company has signed a deal with Emmett/Furla, a prolific production banner run by co-founders Randall Emmett and George Furla, to finance and co-produce three movies in the next two years.

The titles include Monopoly, the real estate board game; Action Man, a British version of Hasbro’s toy soldier line, G.I. Joe; and — we’re not kidding —Hungry Hungry Hippos, a game in which players try to collect marbles by “eating” them via their mouth-opening hippos.

You will excuse me while I reel my jaw up off the floor…

Hang on, still trying to make sense of it all…

Nope, sense cannot be…
