According to him, the story about hunting “the man/beast” will now be told through another character. Rambo, in the main story, will be going “across the border” to go to a violent city and speculations are rife that he will be battling human traffickers this time.

What’s interesting about this latest development is the fact that the original sequel storyline was actually the one with the human traffickers. It was changed at some point, but it looks like its back to the original concept again. I kinda get why the original storyline was chosen. Human traffickers as the bad guys would mean the body count will be so much bigger — and that’s what action fans want.

I think it’s high time that Scorsese starts receiving these awards to commemorate his achievements in filmmaking. the man is a superstar and one of the most brilliant directors of our time. Many of his films can be considered as some of the most important masterpieces of our time. I’m a huge fan of Scorsese and his films transcend fads and trends and are things of beauty.

I think it is wonderful that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (whose votes the Golden Globe Awards are based on) have seen it as the appropriate time to give Scorsese a well deserved award.

Keitel will be joining other new additions to the cast Jessica Alba and Laura Dern. Franchise regulars Ben Stiller, Teri Polo , Robert de Niro, Blythe Danner and Owen Wilson will be returning to reprise their roles.

Paul Weitz will be directing the movie.

Chris Pine is reportedly in talks with Paramount Pictures to play Jack Ryan, the popular CIA analyst character in Tom Clancy’s novels.

A script is currently being written for the planned reboot. Although the movie’s title wasn’t revealed yet, I’m guessing they’ll restart the franchise with the first novel, The Hunt for Red October.

If Pine accepts, he will be the fourth actor to assume the role of Ryan. Alec Baldwin starred in The Hunt for Red October. Then Harrison Ford assumed the role when Baldwin decided to do The Shadow instead of Patriot Games. The last actor to play Ryan was Ben Affleck.

In an interview with Empire Magazin, McKellen said the scripts for the two films (yes, it will be divided into two movies) will be submitted very soon. The next step will be budgeting the movies and then finally casting can begin. He did reveal in a latter interview that the Lord of The Rings cast whose characters were included in The Hobbit will be returning. Of course, this includes McKellen who will reprise his role of Gandalf.

McKellen shared that Del Toro plans to shoot the movie for 383 days, which is quite a long time.

Roland Emmerich, who directed Independence Day, recently weighed in on a possible sequel. The director revealed that he and producer Dean Devlin are still intent on making a sequel especially since they’ve already thought up of a good idea. The difficulty is on how Fox is going to incorporate Devlin’s, Emmerich’s and Will Smith’s deals together. The studio is thinking up of a way to make a package that all parties will be happy with. Fox has floated the idea of doing it without Smith who is a “gross player,” but Emmerich said that the mega actor is crucial to the franchise.

Robert Rodriguez’s reboot of Predator has finally completed its cast. The list of actors will be headed by Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody. Another rumored addition is Topher Grace, who will play the role of an accountant who is actually a lethal serial killer.

Other actors confirmed to be included in Predators include Rodriguez regular Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins, Alice Braga, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, and Louiz Ozawa.

Predators will be directed by Hungarian director Nimrod Antal, who directed last year’s Vacancy.

In his official web site he revealed that a story has now been developed for the Transformers sequel and the release date is slated for July 1, 2011, a year earlier from the speculated 2012 release date.

Bay revealed that he had a meeting with Industrial Light and Magic and that he will be going to Hasbro’s headquarters with writer Ehren Kruger to talk about new characters for the movie.

Oh, and he also left a little note for Megan Fox, who has been badmouthing the Michael Bay and the Transformers franchise.

“P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.”

Hilarious, and just slightly upped Bay’s cred for me.

Speculations can now end now that Campbell has signed on to return and reprise her role of Sidney Prescott. Production for Scream 4 will begin in April or May.

Scream 4 is the first part of another Scream trilogy so better dust off that Scream mask, it’s going to get popular next Halloween again.

Raimi has officially signed on as producer for the supernatural horror movie Refuge. The movie will revolve around a town that is being attacked by a Yeti.

I’m looking forward to this movie.
