I heard a rumor that Jimmy Olsen will be gay in the new Superman movie(I'm being serious here). Timberlake should do a great job with the part.

I heard that, but i do not expect that to be so....For if anything the may go back to Baldwin as agent Jack Ryan, for the character is eventually going to be President of the United States, and Afflecks character is too young.

The latest I heard was a Big Screen Theatrical 24, no movie is not going to be 24 Hours Long, but Executive Producer Kiefer Sutherland is in talks with flame, Oscar Winner Julia Roberts to play the feature villan in the big screen version of the movie.

20 Century Fox is reported to offer Roberts $25 million for the role, which is slated to start filming in November (when 24 takes a 6 week hiatus), with an August 2004 release date.

Voight may join GHOST RIDER
Jon Voight is in talks to play a villain in GHOST RIDER - based on a Marvel Comics character; directed by Mark Steven Johnson (DAREDEVIL) and starring Nicholas Cage. "If you're going to play a strong character in these pieces, and you're not the leading man, you're usually going to get cast in the [villain's] role," Voight said in an interview. Voight declined to say which of the comic series' many villains he will play.

Justin Timberlake Actually Up for Superman?

Stop the press! Where in the world did this come from? 'AirWave' in the UK writes...

Over here in the U.K. this morning on Capital FM (London's top radio station) they were interviewing Justin Timberlake as he's doing some gigs here and he confirmed that he had received a script for the Superman movie but he was not being asked to play Jimmy Olsen but the part of the Man of Steel himself.

I don't know if he was joking or not as he sounded quite serious but he said that he could not say anymore on the matter. What do you think?

Bad Start for THE HULK

this cant be good

Studio executives are reportedly not too happy with Ang Lee's upcoming THE HULK.


E! Online's Anderson Jones had the word:

He's Mean, Green...and Slow? I hear execs at Universal are turning green this week after a not so incredible screening of Hulk. The studio's top brass was practically speechless. Apparently, director Ang Lee has turned in a melodramatic take on the comic book with an emphasis on drama--as in, really long and boring. Uh-oh. The suits concerns are way beyond the fanboy fears that the CGI big guy will look cheesy.

Still, isn't this what Lee promised from the get-go? He has always said Hulk would be an examination of our repressed selves and the release of unchecked rage--an emotion Bruce Banner expresses by turning into a 15-foot mighty green giant. I always expected the story to be a psychological journey--it's about the Hulk inside all of us. Still, one exec says, "It's like he combined The Ice Storm with Shrek." Yikes. Regardless, I can't wait.

Vertigo`s Y: THE LAST MAN optioned by New Line Cinema

We have learned that the hit science fiction comic book series Y: THE LAST MAN has been optioned by New Line Cinema as a feature film. Created by writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra, this ongoing series debuted last summer from Vertigo/DC Comics and immediately became one of the most talked about and critically praised books in the comics industry today.

Y: THE LAST MAN is the story of Yorick Brown, a twentysomething amateur escape artist who appears to be the sole human male survivor of a mysterious plague that instantly killed every other male mammal with a Y chromosome on the planet. Even more enigmatic is that a male monkey named Ampersand, whom Yorick was in the process of training for disabled people, also survived the plaque unscathed. As the world's nations struggle to bury the billions left dead and rebuild society, powerful and dangerous groups learn of Yorick and Ampersand's existence and seek to capture the last two males on the planet -- or finish the job that the plaque started.


The WHOIS registery lists the owners of Internet domain names. It's through this online resource that we discovered the domain names www.ythelastman.com and www.ythelastmanmovie.com were registered by a representative of New Line Cinema on March 4 of this year.


Furthermore, the 4Filmmakers website, a film industry resource website, posted a new listing for a Y movie only yesterday. Listed as producers on the Y film are J.C. Spink and Chris Bender, Mason Novick and David Goyer. New Line Cinema is listed as the studio where the project is set up. Production companies working on the movie are Benderspink (the Hollywood development firm owned by Spink and Bender) and Phantom Four Films, Goyer's own production company.


Goyer, if you may recall, is the screenwriter of the two BLADE films as well as THE CROW: CITY OF ANGELS. He is rumored to be writing the latest draft of BATMAN 5 for MEMENTO director Chris Nolan. Last year Goyer made his directorial debut with ZIGZAG and is attached to direct the DreamWorks picture THE DESCENT as well as New Line's DARKSIDERS. He is also an accomplished comic book writer himself, currently penning the DC Comics series JSA.


To date no official announcement from New Line Cinema has been made, but here's some free advice to any of Hollywood's leading men looking for work: if you've ever wanted to be the last man on Earth, you need to get your agent on the phone right now and have them call New Line today. There may be a monkey in your future.

SOLOMON KANE allies with BROTHERHOOD`s producer

For those who know who this is they'll be stoked

Variety reports that Robert E. Howard's SOLOMON KANE is getting a shot at the movies. The pulp adventure hero, created by the man who also brought us Conan the Barbarian and Kull the Conqueror, is being guided by film producer Samuel Hadida (BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF) and his deal with the media company Wandering Star. Hadida has a budget of $50 million dollars to spend on a SOLOMON KANE flick and is looking for a top director and leading man right now.

Howard's character was about a driven Puritan man from colonial America who battled sorcery and occult powers, chasing after the sorcerer who took Kane's family away from him. David Jung and Steve Dandois are writing the KANE movie script and Hadida is looking hopefully at a 2005 release date.
