According to the Hollywood Reporter, Imagine Entertainment, which is operated by both Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, will be producing the movie.

For those of you who don’t know Hoover, he was the first director of the FBI. He was actually one of the leading lights in the founding of the Agency and he remained its director until his death in 1972. He was credited for many of the advances that made the FBI such a formidable law enforcement agency. But he was also a very controversial figure because he was seen as a man who tried to exceed the reach and jurisdiction of the FBI. He is also reportedly a closet homosexual.

Dustin Lance Black, who wrote Milk, will write the biopic’s script.

And since a successful reboot is very important at this stage, it was mentioned that Christopher Nolan, who helmed and reinvigorated the Batman franchise with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, will be spearheading the Supes reboot because of his experience.

Nolan, in an interview, said that his involvement in the Superman reboot came about because of an “impasse” that has happened while talking about the third Batman film. Writer David Goyer brought out an idea (which he didn’t mention) for Superman that Nolan immediately loved.

There is speculation that the new Superman movie, will be like that of the new Batman movie, in that Superman will be the only superhero in his world, so any speculations about a crossover between the two is already out of the question.

Speaking of Batman, Nolan also said that the impasse he mentioned has already been fixed. He and Goyer are now moving forward with the third film, though he is still mum about who the next villain will be. He did say that they want to finish their story as opposed to blowing it up infinitely and expanding the story they’ve created.

I’m betting on Catwoman.

Corey Haim, the troubled teen idol, died from a possible drug overdose last Wednesday. Haim was brought to Providence St.  Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California in order to perform attempts to revive him and save his life. But the efforts were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at 3:30 am. He was 38 years old.

Haim gained popularity starring in many 80s movies, his most popular being the Joel Schumacher directed The Lost Boys where he starred opposite Corey Feldman. Both Haim and Feldman appeared together and separately in many 80s movies and both have also struggled with drug addiction. The two got reunited when they did the reality show The Two Coreys in 2007, but it was canceled.

Haim was born in Toronto in December 23, 1971.

Now he is reportedly rumored to be near bagging a role that could catapult him to official movie stardom.

According to reports, he is getting closer to landing the role of Captain America in Marvel Studios’ The First Avenger: Captain America.

Krasinski has reportedly been meeting with the producers since the start of 2010 and  has read for the role and even done some screen tests. He allegedly read for the role four times and has done two screen tests.

He is reportedly also reading with different actresses who are up for the female leads. The final decision for the casting might be announced in a just a few weeks.

Director Bong Joon-ho, is one of those rare directors that have managed to create a movie that made tons at the box office but was also listed as one of the better movies made in that year. His movie, The Host, expertly melded the creature feature with that of a very touching story about family.

Three years after the release of that film, Bong Joon-ho is back with a movie with Mother. This is movie is a return to his earlier roots – specifically, his old movie Memories of Murder. The story deals with an old woman whose dim-witted son was accused of murdering a girl. The mother goes on a quest to find out what happened so she can get her son back. Mother has parallelisms with Memories of Murder in that a murder and memories pay pivotal roles in developing the story.

This is a movie that’s really worth checking out.

Shadow Locked, a sci-fi site from the UK, was able to interview Roger Christian, the art director who worked on Star Wars and Alien. Christian is in a good position to talk about the prequel because he has met with Scott about the movie and there’s talk that he could possibly work on it again with Scott. He did confirm that it is going to be shot in 3D. He also shared Scott has a clear vision of where he wants the movie to go and hinted that with the whole concept “had legs to go on”, there is a possibility that a new trilogy may be in the offing.

I’m certainly looking forward to this. I think Scott’s Alien is one of the best sci-fi horror movies ever made. And I even think that it blows Cameron’s Aliens out of the water.

Harris is going to star in the Smurfs movie. This Smurfs movie is reportedly going to be a mix of both live action and animation. This means Harris is not just going to be voicing one of the Smurfs. He is reported to be playing the lead live action character.

Filming for the movie will commence this coming April, which will coincide with the end of the filming for Harris’ hit CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.” The movie is expected to be released on July 29, 2011. Raja Gosnell will be directing the movie.

Newly appointed Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment Geoff Johns, gave some relatively cool news about the new superhero movie. First, he confirmed that actor Mark Strong is going to play GL’s nemesis Sinestro. Strong was last seen in Sherlock Holmes and is also a part of the cast of another comicbook adaptation, Kick Ass.

AMong the other Green Lantern staples that you can also expect in the movie, based on Johns’ information are the Guardians, Oa, and fan favorite Kilowog.

Green Lantern will be directed by Martin Campbell and will star Ryan Reynolds in the titular role. Also starring in the movie are Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard and Tim Robbins. The movie will be released on June 17, 2011.

The new movie, officially entitled The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of The Unicorn was shot using techniques and technology that was used in James Cameron’s Avatar.

Spielberg reportedly used performance capture techniques so that he could get as close to Herge’s vision for Tintin. Spielberg thought that a live action movie will be too stylized for the audience, what with the unique costumes. By going digital, he said it fits better with the whole look of the movie.

The motion capture stage that they used for making the movie allowed Spielberg to watch his actors in real time, but using a screen that showed them already within the digital world created.

The movie will star Jamie Bell, Daniel Craig, Andy Serkis, and Simon Pegg, among others. It will be released on December 23, 2011.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Universal Pictures has plans to reboot the American Pie franchise. It’s surprising to realize that the first American Pie movie was released way back in 1999. The third movie, American Wedding, hit theaters in 2003. After this third movie, a number of direct to video movies carrying the “American Pie Presents…” banner came out to varying degrees of success in terms of delivering the laughs.

Some of the original American Pie cast are reportedly interesting in coming back for the reboot but everything’s still up in the air. I’m pretty sure though that Alyson Hannigan is not going to come back. With her tremendous success with How I Met Your Mother, there’s really no need for her to go back and try to milk a little more media mileage.
