There is a lot of talk and discussion about whether or not Robert Rodriguez will direct the Deadpool movie for 20th Century Fox. I don’t know whether a comment by Rodriguez at the San Diego Comic Con got everyone in a tizzy, or if the director and Fox have really come to an agreement, but the L.A. Times is running the story that the parties are sitting down for some serious negotiations. Now negotiations are a far cry from a done deal, especially when there are specific items that need to be addressed by both sides. It would be great…

Admit it; at one point or another you dreamed of becoming a genuine Jedi Knight and craved to defend the galaxy against the horrors of the dark side.
When X-Men: First Class rolls out to theaters next summer, audiences won’t have to wonder how much CGI work went into making Patrick Stewart young. Instead, Matthew Vaughn and 20th Century Fox have signed James McAvoy to play the young Charles Xavier in the fiml. Before Charles Xavier and Eric Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were the closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In…

While there are some rumblings that 24 may not return to television next season, Jack Bauer does look to be headed to the big screen as the franchise makes the jump from the small screen to the big screen. 20th Century Fox has Jack Bauer headed to Europe, and would pick up where the eighth season end. But, according to sources, the film will not be tied too heavily into the 24 mythos in an attempt to attract those who never watched the television show.  That might be a good way to go with the series. Even when The X-Files…
The Deadpool spinoff has found a pair of writers to pen the big screen adaptation of the comic book character. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have been hired by 20th Century Fox to spin an adventure of the Merc with a Mouth. If the names sound familiar, it’s because the writing duo were the minds behind Zombieland, which might fit nicely with the tone of Deadpool. Currently there is no timetable for the movie, however if the writers can get a final draft of the script ready for summer, it will be a great time to get a really buff…
With the number of times Fox has dumped Joss Whedon shows, you’d have expect him to call it quits with the network for good. Dollhouse, the Eliza Dushku sci-fi thriller, was axed after lower than expected ratings for the second season. “Yes. Canceled. Sad but true,” tweeted Maurissa Tancharoen, a writer on “Dollhouse” who is married to Whedon’s brother Jed Whedon, also a writer on the show. What’s a Whedon to do? Can you say, “Doctor Horrible Sing-Along Blog sequel”? Of course you can, and of course he is. via THR

I’ve been talking to Fox about it,” Singer said at a talk at South Korea’s Pusan International Film Festival. “I love Hugh Jackman. I love the cast,” he said, referring to the Australian actor who plays Wolverine.

If you fell in love with The Simpsons Movie, and were hoping to see more of the yellow skinned family on the big screen, you’re going to have to wait a while. Simpsons creators Matt Groening and Al Jean that the task of producing a movie and a television show was just too much to handle, so they’ve put any new movie plans on hold, at least until the television series wraps production. When might the television show end? The show, now in its 21st year shows no signs of slowing, and as long as Groening and Fox can get…
Even though Wolverine has less than blockbuster success at the box office, H’Wood is sending the adamantium clawed hero back to theaters for a second outing. The movie’s story line will take its cue from the early 1980s Chris Claremont/Frank Miller miniseries, which is set in Japan and features Wolverine dealing with ninjas as he struggles whether to follow his animal killer instincts or the life under a samurai’s code of honor and respect. Hugh Jackman will return as the title character and will also serve as producer.  $180 million isn’t anything to sneeze at, and I bet Fox is…

What’s even better than the prospect of taking hundreds of thousands of images with you wherever you go? Augmented Reality that lets you see things as they were, might be, or with interactive figures floating in front of your eyes. Mattel is getting into the AR realm by introducing a new line of action figures based on the upcoming Avatar movie from 20th Century Fox.
Comedy Central has confirmed that it has ordered up a new batch of Futurama episodes to air on the cable channel beginning in 2010. Twenty-six episodes have been ordered, and Billy West and John DiMaggio have both signed to return to the long running on again off again animated series. “It’s sweet, and basically everybody who has worked on the show wants to come back,” Matt Groening said. “I choose to believe it’s more than the economic situation. People had a good time working on this show.” While Comedy Central may look to be sitting in the cat-bird seat, 20th…
