‘Y: The Last Man’ to be a Trilogy of Films with Big Changes
D.J. Caruso, the hopeful director for the upcoming film adaptation of the Y: The Last Man comic book series from Brian K. Vaughan, spoke to Sci Fi about the status of the script and any changes that will be forthcoming.
And some of them will no doubt annoy fans of the 10-volume graphic novel masterpiece. But [...]
‘The Dark Knight’ to be Re-Released in January
Jason has been dutifully keeping us updated on the money that The Dark Knight has been raking in, as many of us wanted to see it pass Titanic in the all-time gross list. It’s not going to happen, but I’ve been mentioning in comments recently that Warner Brothers will likely re-release it early next year to pull in additional dollars and hopefully create Oscar buzz.
It just makes sense that they would.
No ‘Watchmen’ until 2010?
The legal debate over who owns the rights to Watchmen just gets worse and worse. Word from Cinematical is that Fox is pushing for a June court date, while Warner Brothers is hoping for April.
Umm, hello? The movie it set to release on March 6th, 2009!
Obviously if this giant scuffle isn’t resolved by the intended release date, it’s doubtful we’ll see it in theaters this March. And with the length that most trials go these days, and if Fox gets their wish, could it be the summer of 2010 before this movie actually is seen by the general public?
Fox to steal ‘Watchmen’ from Warner Brothers?
Talk about your bizarre and annoying legal cases, Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood is reporting that a judge has denied a motion by Warner Brothers to dismiss a lawsuit filed by 20th Century Fox over the rights to Watchmen.
I had no idea this was going on of course, because the way people sue each other over things as ridiculous as “coffee being too hot” annoys the crap out of me. I honestly feel like the legal system should start to recognize cases that are just there to waste our country’s time and money, and toss them to the curb.

Terminator 4 goes all PG-13 on us
Wow, this sucks. I mean, I know PG-13 movies these days can still get away with a few things, but that doesn’t mean you downgrade from an R-rating just because you can get more kiddies in your seats.
But the minds behind the Terminator 4 sequel are doing just that.
James Mangold To Direct Graphic Novel “Cyclops”

Rowling’s seventh and final “Potterâ€Â? novel, into two films – one to be released in November 2010 and the second in May 2011.
The WB posed to return as a web TV station
The old WB, which merged with UPN two years ago to form The CW, is set to return with new webisodes and free viewings of all their previous television series.
Warner Brothers is resurrecting the old WB, putting it all on the internet at the website WB.com. There is nothing there now, but it’s being developed [...]
