Will kicks some ass!!

Hancock turned out to be a pleasent surprise. Hugely entertaining with a good twist and surprisingly feel good ending, I really enjoyed it, but some of my friends were not too thrilled about it.

I mean come on ..... Will Smith and Charlize Theron?? come one. One thing for sure, Will's dry, fed-up kind of sarcasm and Jason Bateman's almost boy-scout demeanor almost balances of each other. A much stronger storyline then the Happening, i feel that Hancock is gonna do much better in the box-office.

Columbia Pictures has set an untitled comedy that will star Sacha Baron Cohen as master detective Sherlock Holmes and Will Ferrell as Watson, his crime-solving partner, reports Variety. The comedy is inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes tales. Though the thrust is different, the Baron Cohen-Ferrell pairing is the second major studio project featuring the supersleuth, as Warner Bros. is prepping a Sherlock Holmes drama with director Guy Ritchie.

The viral marketing for The Dark Knight has revealed a new poster for the anticipated sequel to the highly acclaimed Batman Begins.

Tarsem Singh (The Cell) had signed on to direct War of Gods while Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk) will helm a remake of Clash of the Titans. While the subject matter of the two films is different, each shares a preoccupation with Greek mythology. Both pictures are expected to use the greenscreen techniques used for 300. War of Gods is a mythological tale set in war-torn ancient Greece, as the young warrior prince Theseus leads his men in a battle against evil that will see the gods fighting with soldiers against demons and titans. In Clash of the Titans, Perseus, the son of Zeus, must overcome a series of obstacles to save his beloved Princess Andromeda, including cutting off the serpent-tressed head of Medusa, who can turn a man to stone with a single glance.



Mail Online is reporting a rumor that Christian Bale, Vanessa Redgrave, William Hurt and Saoirse Ronan are all in talks to join Russell Crowe and Sienna Miller in director Ridley Scott's Nottingham. Bale is in talks to play Robin Hood, where he will be part of a menage a trois between Russell Crowe's Sheriff of Nottingham and Sienna Miller's Maid Marian. Nothing is signed for Bale, but director Ridley Scott is exceedingly keen to cast him. Crowe and Bale starred together in last year's 3:10 to Yuma.


The Los Angeles Times reports that 'Spider-Man' franchise producer Laura Ziskin said the fourth installment is tentatively scheduled to hit theaters in May 2011. Already scheduled for the month of May that year are Marvel's own The First Avenger: Captain America and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. Neither star Tobey Maguire nor director Sam Raimi is yet committed to work on the next installment, but Sony has paid Marvel to renew its rights.


Iron Man's Robert Downey Jr. is in negotiations to star in DreamWorks/Universal's Cowboys & Aliens, a pulpy mix of the sci-fi and Western genres. Based on a graphic novel, the story centers on an Old West battle between the Apache and Western settlers, including a former Union Army gunslinger named Zeke Jackson (Downey), that is interrupted by a spaceship crashing into the prairie near Silver City, Arizona. The story draws a parallel between the American imperialist drive to conquer the 'savage' Indians with its advanced technology and the aliens' assault on Earthlings, who must join together to survive the invaders' attack.
