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."

Update on 'Jonah Hex'

2010-04-16T18:46:00.000-07:00

Now that I'm done drooling over the above picture from the set of the movie...

There hasn't been much news regarding the upcoming Jonah Hex. As a matter of fact, there hasn't been any. No poster. No trailer. No stills. Finally, a spokesperson states that a trailer will premiere before A Nigthmare on Elm Street.

Although, frontman of the band Mastodon, Brent Hinds has a few negative words about the project after the jump...

Brent Hinds and his band were hired to work with the film's composer John Powell on the score. Then, Francis Lawrence comes in to do reshoots with Hayword. Then Powell was let go due to previous commitments, so another composer was brought in, Marco Beltrami (Repo Men). This apparently pissed off Hinds.

"What I’ve seen so far doesn’t seem to be finished to me. I’d heard a little rumor: 'This shit ain’t gonna be ready.' But then again, Warner Bros. is such a fucking bastard. They’re like, 'The shit comes out on the day it’s supposed to.' But what do I know? I’m just the dude to whom they’re like, ‘Hey, play some crazy fuckin’ music! All of a sudden, there’s this new guy, who went in a different direction. And there was no way he could connect with me: They brought all the new scenes to us, but I was on tour this entire time, so I had no time to preconceive what I wanted the movie to sound like. Being so busy ... it's hard to be creative when you're going through the same motions every day [onstage]."

Sam Claflin Joins 'Pirates of the Caribbean 4'

2010-04-16T18:38:00.000-07:00

The relatively unknown actor will set sail with Johnny Depp in the unnecessary sequel, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Hailing from the United Kingdom, Claflin attended The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. He then won roles in the historical mini-series “The Pillars of the Earth,” alongside actors Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Matthew MacFadyen and Donald Sutherland, followed by the telefilm “The Lost Future.”

Claffin will play a young missionary named Phillip. The actor joins Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz (in talks), Ian McShane (in talks), and the equally unknown Astrid Berges-Frisbey. The Jerry Bruckheimer production is being directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago, Nine) and is due in theaters May 20, 2011.

An Update on 'The Hobbit'

2010-04-16T17:36:00.000-07:00

Peter Jackson sat down with Moviefone to discuss the forthcoming prequel/adaptation. Regarding the alleged delays...

"Well, it's not really been delayed, because we've never announced the date. I mean it's sort of interesting because the studio [MGM] has never greenlit 'The Hobbit,' so therefore 'The Hobbit' has never been officially announced as a "go" project, nor have we ever announced a date. But there's so much interest that people -- newspapers and magazines, of their own account, say, ah, it's likely to film in May, it's likely to film in June, it's likely to film in September. People make this stuff up. And then if it's not filming in June, you get a story saying, "'The Hobbit's' been delayed." But it's never actually been announced."

Hit the jump for details on when the film will begin shooting, how far along they are with the script, and if there happens to be anybody cast for the role of Bilbo Baggins...

When do they plan to begin filming? What about the script? Where are they with that?

"We've just delivered the script. Literally last week, we delivered the second of the two screenplays -- the first draft. So the studio's got both scripts now, which is a milestone; and if anything was holding it up, it was us doing the screenplays, because we'd just been writing as fast as we can, but it took us this long to get them finished. So we take whatever responsibility there is for the speed. And we're now in the process of budgeting the films, and then hopefully we'll get to a budget the studio [people] are happy with, and they'll greenlight the movies and we'll announce the shooting dates. I'd be pretty optimistic that we'll be shooting before the end of the year. I would imagine October, November, we'd be shooting by. I'm not announcing it, though."

And what of the casting of Bilbo Baggins? Anyone signed on yet?

No, there's no definite ... I mean, any character that's returning from 'The Lord of the Rings,' we obviously would love the same actors to play. But even those actors haven't been approached yet, or there [haven't] been any deals done. And the studio wouldn't organically do any of that until they've greenlit the film.

Spotted at Moviefone.

RUMOR: Slaughterhouse to be featured on Eminem's 'Recovery'

2010-04-16T17:08:00.000-07:00

Over at JoeBuddenTV back in November, Joe Budden posted that he had to write the most important verse of his entire career and that he goes last on the song in question. This thread is brought back up recently with the announcement of Eminem's new album, Recovery, and the recent leak of Royce Da 5'9"'s Bar Exam 3 track, 'Nobody Fuckin' With Us', in which Royce says...

"Shady. Got a nice ring to it, huh? Don't that shit sound so good coming from me? If you like the white boy, then your ass might as well start liking me too, because from here on out, anytime you see him, you're going to see me too"

For more info, hit the jump...

The verses are all, but officially announcing that Slaughterhouse has been signed to Shady. Now if the artists individually are signed to Shady Records, has yet to be seen. Several sources have stated that a Slaughterhouse track with Eminem, produced by Just Blaze has been made. With the including of Just Blaze producing, it's a huge red flag that the song will more than likely end up on Recovery.

John Malkovich confirms he was set to be The Vulture

2010-04-16T15:19:00.000-07:00

What was once a rumor, is now confirmed. John Malkovich was set to play The Vulture in the now dead sequel, Spider-Man 4.

"Yes [I was disappointed] but I mean, because I like Sam, and I like Tobey, and all that stuff and the producers, one of whom I had met before because I had been offered the first one [film]. And one of which I came to know, I like them all, yeah sure why not, but it didn't play out. Yeah, I think a lot of the people who sort of follow that genre-- I'm not sure I never really spoke with Sam about this, but I'm not sure-- maybe either the kind of fanbase, the fanboys, the base of that perhaps didn't approve of that character as an adversary to some extent, or maybe the studio, or maybe that was totally unrelated to why that fell apart. I heard various things about it, but yeah it was a drag because I like Sam, and he's offered me a couple of things and it hasn't worked out."

Too bad.
