Hardwicke and Weitz Returning for Twilight: Eclipse Reshoots?

While we're very nonchalant with our distaste for The Twilight Saga, it's never really satisfying to have a film suffer production woes. After dealing with some sketchy comments from director David Slade (which he has since renounced) before he was brought onto the third installment, Eclipse, there's been rumblings of a poor creative relationship between Slade and Summit. Now comes word (via The Playlist) from Lainey Gossip (who Playlist says is reliable) that a few key scenes and fight sequences need reshoots and Summit may potentially bring in previous franchise directors Catherine Hardwicke and/or Chris Weitz instead.

Darren Aronofsky Directing Rachel Weisz as Jackie Kennedy

By Alex Billington

Apparently there's more to this story than we first thought. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Rachel Weisz will be playing the late First Lady Jackie Kennedy in a new project titled simply Jackie that's about the immediate days following President Kennedy's assassination in 1963. You may remember hearing about this recently when it was reported that Steven Spielberg was shopping around this spec script, written by Noah Oppenheim, but Spielberg isn't involved. EW says "that is not correct and Spielberg is not involved in any way." Instead, they say Weisz' husband Darren Aronofsky will direct and produce the film. Whoa!

Four Character Posters + A New Chinese Iron Man 2 TV Spot

By Alex Billington

Only 23 more days left (although all of Europe gets it an entire week before us)! To continue building more last minute hype for Marvel's Iron Man 2, I'm posting four international character posters that hit earlier today on EcranLarge. We already saw the Tony Stark one last year, but there's new ones for Whiplash, War Machine, Black Widow and even Pepper Potts. There's also an awesome new Chinese TV spot for Iron Man 2 (via The Playlist) that doesn't feature much new footage, but the CGI does look a lot more finished, and boy does this movie look sleek. Check out Stark's crazy new triangular arc reactor, too! Find all of it below.

Watch This: Wacky Trailer for 'Malice in Wonderland' UK Film

By Alex Billington

I don't what the hell this is, but holy crap it's trippy! Apple has debuted the official trailer for an indie film called Malice in Wonderland that is, no doubt, inspired by Lewis Carroll's classic Alice in Wonderland. This stars Maggie Grace as Alice, who you might know better as Liam Neeson's daughter in Taken. Okay, okay, I know, before you start asking me why the heck I'm even featuring this, there's a few simple reasons. First, it's so insanely wacky that I just had to share it with all of you! Second, I have quite a crush on Maggie Grace (she's 26) and she looks pretty damn good in this. If you're looking for a very weird trailer, this is it!

Sharlto Copley Latest to Join DJ Caruso's I Am Number Four

By Ethan Anderton

For some reason, at the end of last month, we missed reporting news of young British actor Alex Pettyfer joining DJ Caruso's adaptation of the upcoming young-adult science fiction book, I Am Number Four, by James Frey and Jobie Hughes. The actor will be playing playing the title role of Four, one of nine aliens who escape their home planet before its annihilation by a rival species and hide out on Earth disguised as human high schoolers, only to discover they're still being hunted by their enemy.

Confirmed: Scorsese Shooting 'Invention of Hugo Cabret' in 3D

By Ethan Anderton

Not too long ago, Martin Scorsese somewhat dangerously proclaimed his love for the potential of 3D by saying, in so many words, that a movie like Precious should be seen in 3D. While I think this is a bit of an overzealous claim for a technology that is still being mastered by some of the best filmmakers, it certainly has promise as long as we all heed Uncle Ben's words: "With great power comes great responsibility." Now Scorsese will put his money where his mouth is as Variety confirms that he will shoot his adaptation of The Invention of Hugo Cabret in 3D. For those 3D haters, it could be worse - he could have converted to 3D.

Jamie Foxx is Getting Animated with 'Welcome to the Jungle'

By Ethan Anderton

Quite possibly one of the coolest achievements for any actor is to have themselves transformed into some sort of animated character. It looks like Jamie Foxx will be the next actor to live that dream for the first time in his career as Variety reports he and Fox Animation are collaborating on an animated flick, in which he will also star, called Welcome to the Jungle, based on an original pitch from Foxx and writer Malcolm Spellman. The only hint at the film's storyline is the tagline: "Life is a jungle and welcome to it." It looks like this might be more of a musical geared animated flick with Foxx writing original music for the feature, too.

It's Really Happening - Joss Whedon to Direct The Avengers!

By Alex Billington

This a fanboy dream come true. I don't think anyone thought they'd ever wake up and read a headline saying that Joss Whedon, the geek creator of TV shows like "Buffy" and "Firefly", would be directing the first big superhero team-up movie to ever hit the big screen - The Avengers. Deadline has confirmed the big news of the day: "Marvel Studios is in final negotiations for Joss Whedon to direct Marvel Studios' The Avengers." Earlier this month, it was rumored that Whedon was on the shortlist to direct, but no one seemed to believe it would actually happen. Joss Whedon's The Avengers will hit theaters the first weekend of May in 2012.

Scarlett Johansson & Sam Rockwell Cast in Kubrick's Lost Film

By Alex Billington

Wait, wait, wait - Stanley Kubrick had a long lost project? Apparently so. The film is called Lunatic at Large and is based on a treatment by pulp author Jim Thompson that was commissioned by Kubrick in the late 1950s, after the two worked together on The Killing and Paths Of Glory. The script was discovered the a few years ago (read a NY Times article on it) and has been floating around for at least a few years. However, Production Weekly is reporting today on their Twitter (via The Playlist) that both Scarlett Johansson and Sam Rockwell are attached to star in Lunatic at Large. They've got a few good actors for now. Read on!

Paul Verhoeven Working on a 1914 Video Game Adaptation?

By Alex Billington

I've been waiting to see Paul Verhoeven return to his "roots" with more insanely violent action flicks like those he used to make back in the 80s and 90s, but that hasn't happened yet. Last we heard, Verhoeven was supposed to working on a thriller called Surrogate, but not anymore. MTV talked with Verhoeven recently who told them: "I am working on a movie now that is... situated in 1914. We are scripting it. It's an idea that exists already... from another medium, and so we are making it now into a film narrative." He wouldn't say the name, but did confirm that it's a video game that they're adapting the script from. So what could it be?

James Mangold Might Direct Gyllenhaal's Joe Namath Biopic

By Alex Billington

Back in 2007, it was announced that Jake Gyllenhaal would play football quarterback Joe Namath in a feature film about his life that was being put together. Jump to today and, well, no progress has been made. However, Pajiba says they've heard that James Mangold (of Kate & Leopold, Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma, Knight & Day) may have just landed this directing gig, which makes them (and us) wonder if Universal may actually be trying to get this into production as Gyllenhaal's next big film following Duncan Jones' Source Code (which he is already shooting). It all makes sense, and I won't be surprised if this actually happens.
