So far, all that has been confirmed is that Anthony Hopkins will play Jor-El.

Another Supes movie?!? I thought they wised up and cut that shit out. Can we hope for Doomsday?

I heard about that, is there anything about a new Batman movie?

A new Superman? Who'll be Superman?

There is a ton of news at smallville.net The last script written was tossed out because it would have alienated a LOT of people. The current casting is that while Anthony Hopkins has agreed to play Jor El, the idea now is that Jor El may or may not actually be in the movie. A lot of young actors are in the running for Supes, but fortunately Tom Welling is now one of them. Others include the guy from that last wedding movie with Brittany Murphy (can't remember his name) and Jerry O'Connell (my choice).

Another idea is that there will be a Smallville movie, something that strikes me as a beyond bad idea.

Nearly nothing...given that the original script was utterly destroyed...it's all back to the drawing board.

And comicon.com is pretty quiet...it's still a little up in the air(and I don't think Smallville is that popular yet)

You can see one of the actors that me be cast as Supes at www.supermanhomepage.com

The dude really looks like him. He's got the height too!

Do all of us know about the upcoming Superman movie?

Yeah, I head it was going to fucking suck.

Oh, well they changed it just today. I don't know who this new guy is...

If they try to copy Spider-Man like they were planning, it will suck more than a drunk highschool slut.

Is this the one where all of his power comes from his suit, and where Luthor is from Krypton?

I remember that. If that ever got made I would have firebombed the studio myself.

That's the one that caused such an uproar that it was thrown out in a week. Among other things, Krypton was undergoing a civil war and that was why Kal-El was sent to earth, Clark let people die to flirt with Lois, and in a totally gratuitous action, Olsen was gay. And they were going to cancel Smallville for that. Ha

Thank Vishnu they changed it. I think that if they do this movie right, it could be very good. The first big screen appearance for Supes in a looooong time better be good!

Pardon me, but what in the FUCK were they thinking? And I can't stand Enterprise because it fucks with continuity? Blecchh!

It was intended to be a retelling of the origin of Superman.

I don't know which one is worse, that recent one, or the one from a few years ago where Superman didn't fly, wear the suit, and Brainiac had a wisecracking gay robot sidekick. Oh, and Nicolas Cage was lined up as the possible actor for playing Superman (imagine, Supes looking like he's a chemo patient).

Batman 5 is indeed in the pipeline. Darren Aronofsky (Requiem For A Dream) has got Batman: Year One (I'm guessing prequel) on the move toward production, last I heard was that they were finalising the script and talking to certain actors about it.

As for other sequels and prequels here's some news:

Inidana Jones IV - George Lucas hired Frank Darabont to pen it, while Spielberg has confirmed at May 2004 shoot for a summer 2005 release. Sean Connery will return.

Die Hard 4 - Stuck in limbo. The studio has the script. Willis is onboard to shoot it. Directors interested. It's going no where at the mo

Mad Max 4 - (most likely to be called Fury Road) are finishing off location scouting, and Gibson has pocketed a hefty $25-million paycheque for it. It will be made in Oz and it looks like it's budgets on the $104-million mark.

Riddick: Pitch Black 2 - Shooting starts off later this year, Vin Diesel is onboard and the pitch the stuidos are giving out at the mo is - "This film will veer away from the horror or Pitch Black and into sci-fi action land". It would seem Vin is trying to keep a certain stereotype about him.

Spiderman 2 - (WOOO HOOO ) Is in production, ETA Summer 2004! And I cant fucking wait!

Jurrasic Park 4 - (will they never learn) is on it's way for Summer 2004, but I dont have much knowledge on that one. But I'm guessing rampant dino's, humans, running, screaming, eating and totally fucking up Spielberg's excellent first one.

Independance Day 2: (didnt we already defeat the aliens?) is set for an opening in Summer 2004 too. Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich are claiming "we are not making the first film" and that they have come up with a concept "inspired by" 9/11. Will Smith has already passed.

Shrek 2 - (HURRAH!) is again coming for (guess what date, thats right) Summer 2004 and after the original smash this one was always on the cards. The plot remains a mystery, however John Cleese will be a voice along with Murphy, Myers and Diaz.

Alien 5 - The original rumour about 6 months ago was Cameron and Scott were teaming up to do it. They then said they had had talks. Now Scott has bowed out , Cameron, no word from him and Stan Winston (FX Guru) is saying that there is something in the pipeline, but it's not going to be set on Earth. Shame.

Star Wars Episode III - Confirmed date for July 2005 opening according to the Skywalker Ranch.

Once Upon A Time In Mexico - Third in the the down'n'dirty trilogy by Robert Rodriguez, following the kick-ass films of El Mariachi and Desperado. Set for an Autumn 2003 release. Banderas is back too. goody!

Thats about it from me!

HEY Where'd you get that info? I'm supposed to be the movie info guy.

And why are they trying for sequels of movies that weren't that good or that have clearly reached the end of their line? Die Hard is done, Independence Day was a wonderful movie but it was clearly a one shot deal, Pitch Black wasn't good enough in the first place, Alien has been played out, and when Mad Max is so old that I can only remember it as "That Mel Gibson movie" it's clear that one is done. BTW, Jurassic Park 3 was so bad that the fact that they're even thinking about a fourth film means stupidity is contagious.

Sequels I want; The Mask 2, Final Fantasy 2, Back to the Future 4, Duct Tape Forever 2 (The Red Green movie), Ghostbusters 3, Ace Ventura 3, and Blade 3.

Ah, a fellow movie buff! Well, I'm a MEGA MOVIE FREAK (and wannabe director) So I suggest we join forces and let our knowlege edcuate the more unwise of Off-Topic!

As for your other bit, I still think Mel cuts it and Mad Max 4 should be quite good, I liked Pitch Black, the cinematography in it too was just brilliant. I whole hartedly agree with the whole JP3 thing. The only decent JP movie was Spielbergs. If they beat that with JP4 then I'll quite happily eat my Homer Simpson boxers! As for ID4:2, I have nooooo idea, but if Will Smith passes on the sequel to the movie that (along with MIB and Bad Boys <Bad Boys 2 out later this year>) made his career, then it mustn't be very good.

As for your sequels. Mask 2- boo yeah baby, bring back Carrey! FF2, HELL YEAH! again, cause I loved the first one... BTTF4...hmmmm I doubt that would work now, but if Speilberg is on then it cant fail. Not sure about the Duct Tape movie, Ghostbusters 3 is too in the pipeline, Dan Ackroyd is working his ass off, and if you go to ghostbusters3.com then it takes you to Sony Pictures...so something must be happening there. Ace 3, again bring back Carrey! And Blade 3 - hell yeah. But if they do, I'd prefer it to go back to the more comic book/action of the first one instead of the darkness of the second.

My sequels - Stargate 2. Monsters Inc. 2 on the way. More Austin Powers sequels! Small Soldiers 2. More TRON! More Ali G! South Park The Movie, Take Two. I'm not a big fan on sequels, I think some of my fav movies are infact just ones that are one hit wonders without sequels.

We can't forget Starship troopers II, direct to video! The first one was sooooo bad yet incredibly entertaining for its shear level of utter crap.

Has anyone heard Kevin Smith talk about his Superman script? Go grab "An Evening With Kevin Smith" and shake your head at the stupidity.

When it comes to the Mask, I wouldn't even care if Carrey was in it. The plot was by itself a good concept, although I doubt it would have been all that memorable without Carrey. And am I the only one who saw Duct Tape Forever? The theatre was packed when I saw it and I know it was shown in a hundred theatres at least. Red Green, if it's not my favorite TV show period, it's certainly one of my favorite comedies. It's white trash at its greatest.

Stargate, I fear, has been killed by the TV show. It was turned into a gimmick...although that reminds me of something...I want a Quantum Leap movie! Give Scott Bakula a chance to redeem himself. And South Park 2 would really give the movie industry a good smack in the ass. Actually, I'm looking forward to the That's My Bush movie in the works now, the one that's supposed to concentrate on Bush's drunken slut of a daughter

I forgot a couple of other movies, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4 if it's like the first one. Spaceballs 2-The Nuts Strike Back. And I would like an honest version of The Vampire Lestat (as in a sequel to Interview with the Vampire) rather than half-assed Queen of the Damned that brought me to tears a year ago.
