Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...

Word is that Joss Whedon is going to be working on, and possibly directing The Avengers film. To be honest, he's probably the best choice since jon favareau took himself out of the running. Simply put, this has to be good as there is alot riding on it, since it was set up at the post credits scene of Iron Man with Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury.

Also this will give DC entertainment a chance to see how to do it, or not do it when they release a justice league film, which is rumoured to be announcced at San diego comicon this year

Found some news regarding star wars films being made into 3d, taken from ign.com:

It's been widely reported that George Lucas has expressed interest in bringing the Star Wars movies back to theaters with a fresh 3D treatment. Today in the IGN Theater at the C2E2 convention in Chicago, Lucasfilm Director of Fan Relations Steve Sansweet addressed those reports.

He says: "George has publicly expressed an interest in doing Star Wars 3D. Right now there are a number of different technologies, there's some criticism out there about some of the movies that have quickly changed to 3D, so you have to pick the right technology, you have to get it to a cost that makes sense, and you have to have the time of the director and producer -- George -- to actually go in there, because you can't push a button and stuff goes in one end and comes out 3D…

"Saying all that, George remains very interested in doing the Star Wars movies, all six, in 3D, and I hope it will happen someday in the not too distant future."

Also found a little news about the green lantern film this what geoff johns had to say about the movie, once again taken from ign.com:

"The movie looks fantastic," he tells CBR. "I'm heading back down to New Orleans in a few weeks, but I just watched the Abin Sur/Hal Jordan dailies, and it's amazing seeing that ring passed to Hal in live action. Abin Sur looks kick-ass."
Alas, there's no confirmation in the interview as to whether or not those rumors about Ryan Reynolds donning an all-CGI costume are true. But not surprisingly, Johns is pretty much psyched about the whole project.

"They did such a great job," he says. "They've got Grant [Major] as a production designer. He's from Lord of the Rings, and the visuals on this film are nothing like you could imagine. It's definitely a Green Lantern fan's dream. For me, it's kind of insane to see this stuff come to life. … And Ryan Reynolds is a perfect Hal Jordan. He brings a lot of humor to it, but he also has the humanity that Hal has. And a little bit of the arrogance, so it's a great match."

A bit of big news here but according to empire.online all six star wars films have been confirmed for blu ray, info taken from the same source:

"We have been at work for a couple of years working on – I won't call it the Ultimate Set because we keep finding stuff – but a very full set of all six movies on Blu-ray with lots of extra material. We're finding all kinds of scenes from dailies that have never been seen before. Beyond all of those things that you know about… there are some real treasures."

this is good news that there working on it, i think it will be sometime in 2011 fingers crossed.

here's some news regarding the 24 movie taken from ign.com:

According to Sutherland, screenwriter Billy Ray (State of Play) finished the film's script a couple of weeks back, with the star planning to read it when he returns to the States.

The film will condense the show's 24 hour time-frame into two hours, meaning the plot won't be constrained by geography.

"We've always had to have the situation come to us" he explained. "But now it's feasible to get [Jack Bauer] from Eastern Europe to England [during the movie]."

Sutherland also hinted that the plot will hark back to season one, with the crisis more insular. "It doesn't have to be a bomb" he continued "It can be something personal that people understand."

The star gave no indication as to when production with start, but with the script written and his schedule now relatively clear, expect the 24 movie to hit sooner rather than later.
