Take this with a grain of salt, since this hasn’t been confirmed by anyone, but Latino Review is claiming that there is a Danger Girl movie in the works, and three actresses have already been attached.

MOVIE: Disney sets two Marvel movie dates (Hulk and SHIELD?)
Word buzzing around the Intardwebz is that Disney has blocked out two dates in 2014 for Marvel movies. We already know Sony has locked down The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for May 2, 2014, but what does Disney have in store for us on May 16, 2014, and June 27, 2014?
How does the Incredible Hulk and Agents of SHIELD sound to you?
TELEVISION: Warehouse 13 gets another season
Consider this a rumor until it is officially announced, but word on the street is SyFy has renewed Warehouse 13 for a fourth season. The show is a big hit on the network, so canceling the show now would not be good business. Plus what would Quantum Mechanix do with all their W13 Merch?
MOVIE: Doctor Strange still in development
The rumor that Doctor Strange would get the Marvel movie treatment is closer to reality, as the website Twitch reports that scriptwriters Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer have turned in their draft of the script to the House of Ideas. The next step will be finding a director.
Donnelly and Oppenheimer are the writing pair behind the new Conan movie and this past weekend’s Cowboys and Aliens flick – and depending on your P.O.V. you may not have high hopes for Doctor Strange.
One of the early rumors early on was that Doctor Strange and other lesser known Marvel character would be getting the mini-movie treatment, ala the Saturday morning serials, that would act as the lead into the feature Marvel presentation.
So today, we asking you, the Major Spoilerites, what would you prefer – A full on Sorcerer Supreme movie, or a series of smaller shorts that lead into a feature Marvel/Disney movie?
MOVIE: Evil Dead is moving forward, less Bruce Campbell than you might like
With word spreading fast and furious that there will indeed be a new Evil Dead movie coming our way, fans of the series want to know how involved Bruce Campbell will be in the flick. Is Ash returning? Will he still have a chainsaw for a hand?
MOVIE: Love interest found for Lone Ranger?
We already know Johnny Depp will play Tonto and Armie Hammer will play the Lone Ranger, but what about the love interest? Deadline is reporting that Ruth Wilson is in talks to play the female lead/love interest in the Gore Verbinski directed Lone Ranger movie.
I don’t know anything about Ruth Wilson, but dress her up in a costume of the period and she’ll certainly look good. Since this is the Lone Ranger, I wonder if she’ll be written as the romantic lead for Hammer, or if the production will follow the recently concluded Lone Ranger series from Dynamite Entertainment, where Tonto rides off into the sunset with the Ranger’s sister-in-law?
TELEVISION: Lucas has 50 hours of live-action Star Wars in the can?
Sadly, no. No he doesn’t. Rumors started to spread earlier this week when George Lucas sat down for an interview with G4′s Attack of the Show, that had many speculating that George Lucas had already shot 50 hours of a Star Wars television show, but shelved it.
We have 50 hours and we’re just waiting to figure out a different way of making movies, a different technology we can use … to make it feasible to shoot the show…When we do figure this problem out it will dramatically affect a lot of movies. Right now it looks like the Star Wars features.
What Lucas really meant to say was he had 50 hours of the Star Wars television series (set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope) written, not filmed. This is all according to io9.com who called up Lucasfilm PR directly to get it all sorted out. Of course this is just the thing a PR person WOULD say to throw us all off the scent.
I know a lot of people are turned off by Lucas and Star Wars at the moment, but I absolutely love what is going on in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and if there was another live-action television series on the air, you can bet I’d be sitting on the floor with my bowl of popcorn, giggling like a six year old.
RUMOR: Bane origin revealed?
One of the biggest questions surrounding The Dark Knight Rises is how will Bane tie into the overall story? A number of rumors have been spilling out of the bowels of the Intardwebz, and the latest has Bane emerging from a Venom filled Lazarus Pit.
The Plot leak you’ve been waiting for: Eyewitnesses and crew members told us of a particular scene being filmed, where a bald-headed child wearing ragged clothes emerges from the well and pulls his hood over his head. From the conversations, we reckon this is a young Bane, emerging from a vat of Venom, trained by Pence’s Ra’s al Ghul. The years of addiction to Venom builds him to be a massive monster with amped up senses, intelligence and physical prowess.
Keep in mind this is just a rumor, but since the Lazarus Pit is bound to come up in the Christopher Nolan trilogy, this might be the logical way to connect Bane with Ra’s.
MOVIE: More X-Men: First Class movies on the way?
In what may be a good case of jumping the gun, X-Men: First Class producer Bryan Singer let spill over at Total Film that plans are in the works for two sequels set in the ’70s and ’80s.
“That’s an idea that’s been discussed,” admits producer Bryan Singer. “How the characters go through time. But only to a point – they can’t age too fast!”
I kind of agree, let’s not put the cart before the horse here, and let’s see how good the first move is before we look down the road to a trilogy.
MOVIE: Akira actor shortlist uncovered
Deadline has discovered the short list of actors who are up for the roles of Kaneda and Tetsuo in Warner Bros. live action adaptation of Akira. According to the site, Robert Pattinson, Andrew Garfield and James McAvoy are being considered for Tetsuo (the “bad” guy), while Garrett Hedlund, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake and Joaquin Phoenix have been handed the script to play Kaneda (the “good” guy).
This is a project that has been in production for some time, it was first announced back in 2008. The film has done the on-again-off-again dance so many times, that one wonders if we’ll ever see it move out of Pre-Pro Hell into actual production.
MOVIE RUMOR: Inhumans next to be served to theater goers
We really don’t know what Marvel Studios will be offering up to theater goers once The Avengers movie is released in a couple of years. Sure there is the popular Iron Man 3, the Spider-Man reboot, and the smaller budgeted Ant-Man and Luke Cage projects, but what about new exciting projects that will bring in a whole new group of movie goers to comic book properties?
Would the Inhumans work as a major motion picture?
That’s the rumor going around the Intardwebz as Badass Digest and On The Grid are reporting.
aliens who were put on Earth as sleeper cell aliens to eventually call back their race to take over the planet. Ultimately, the group of aliens fully assimilates and don’t want to cause war.
Personally, this sounds like the hardest project to sell, and unless there’s something we don’t know about the upcoming Avengers movie, general audience knowledge of these characters is going to be next to nothing, making it harder to bring them on board – especially since the alien invasion/visitation/communication genre has glutted theaters in recent years.
MOVIE: RoboCop getting reboot, Padilha to direct
According to Deadline, MGM is currently in negotiations to bring Brazilian director Jose Padilha to the U.S. to helm the studio’s remake of the RoboCop franchise. With all the hubbub surrounding the Detroit/RoboCop statue debacle, seems like a good time for the studio (who still isn’t out of the woods financially) to generate some quick-ish income.
Reconstituted under Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, MGM has targeted Robocop as its first major franchise play, and they worked hard to find a filmmaker who could play on a global field. They were impressed by Padilha’s track record with taut crime dramas Elite Squad and a sequel that came out in 2010.
Darren Aronofsky, currently of Black Swan fame, was developing before MGM ran into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The studio is currently proceeding with RoboCop, The Hobbit, and the latest James Bond movie. It’s just too bad we won’t see Peter Weller under the helmet.
