Yet Another Comic Book Adaptation: The Strange Case of Hyde

Though the story of split personality Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has seen many adaptations (one almost came together rather recently), it looks like the next iteration of the classic 1886 Robert Louis Stevenson novella will get its inspiration from comic. Heat Vision reports that an all-new take on the character, The Strange Case of Hyde, will not simply be another adaptation, but instead sees Jekyll and Hyde in a Victorian-era action-adventure where he goes head-to-head against a historical villain. Cole Haddon will write the script, but at the time no director has been attached, so it's not very clear how soon this will be coming together.

EXCL: Studio Casting Grid Names Riddler as Batman 3 Villain

By Ethan Anderton

We're not officially kicking off Comic-Con until tomorrow, but today we have a huge bit of news regarding a comic book flick that likely doesn't even have a presence at this year's convention. We've gotten word from a reliable inside source with a studio casting grid that The Riddler is listed as a character for Chris Nolan's highly anticipated to the sequel to The Dark Knight, which is still called Batman 3 at Warner Bros. Even more interesting, the actor currently listed in the same grid to play the assumed villain is none other than Joseph Gordon-Levitt, whose status is just listed as "interested." Let's all say it together now: Hell. Yes!

Watch: New Official Trailer for The Debt Starring Helen Mirren

By Alex Billington

Miramax has debuted a new official trailer for The Debt on Yahoo, the upcoming dramatic action-thriller starring Helen Mirren and Sam Worthington, plus Ciarán Hinds, Tom Wilkinson, Jessica Chastain. We just featured a first look photo for this yesterday, and it's great to actually see a trailer so quickly after. The film tells two stories, one a flashback about a secret mission to kill a Nazi war criminal, and a modern story about an attempt to uncover the truth about the criminal's potential resurfacing. This looks good, I just hope it's not boring to watch. At least it has a damn good cast. Watch this below and let us know what you think?

Thor Writer Prepping Freakshow Adaptation as Directing Gig

By Ethan Anderton

Though the adaptation of Marvel's Norse god comic hero Thor hasn't even made it's Comic-Con debut (stay tuned for our coverage), let alone unveiled any trailer, screenwriter Mark Protosevich is already moving towards his next project. Variety says the writer has chosen Freakshow as his next comic book adaptation and he's even looking to potentially direct this as well. The story in the comic follows five young people who are turned into mutants by a cataclysmic chemical explosion and must decide whether to use their newfound powers to save the city or exact revenge on those responsible after the world's only superhero is killed. Wow.

Kenneth Branagh in Talks for Olivier in 'My Week With Marilyn'

By Alex Billington

You may remember reading a story late last year about actress Michelle Williams being cast as Marilyn Monroe (this isn't the other Monroe film with Naomi Watts) in a project called My Week With Marilyn, based on Colin Clark's book about Monroe's time in London shooting the Laurence Olivier film The Prince and the Showgirl. We haven't heard much about it since then, but Production Weekly (via The Playlist) is reporting that things are coming together and Kenneth Branagh, director of Thor and a talented actor, is "in talks" to play iconic British actor Sir Laurence Olivier. It looks like a great cast is coming together.

Awesome Promo Artwork for Marvel's Thor & Captain America

By Alex Billington

Oh hell yes! These two banners, originally referred to as "posters" although they're clearly not official movie posters, have just debuted on Yahoo in anticipation of Marvel's big panel at Comic-Con on Saturday. Marvel has created a poster for Thor, directed by Kenneth Branagh, and also Captain America, directed by Joe Johnston. These are definitely not photos from either of the movies, but Drew Struzan-like pieces of artwork created to promote both movies at Comic-Con. We're not sure if these will be given out or sold to the fans in San Diego, but I definitely love the look of both of them. I truly hope Thor fights Loki like that in the movie!

Official US Trailer for Woody Allen's New 'Tall Dark Stranger'

By Alex Billington

You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger Trailer

Sony Pictures Classics has debuted the official US trailer for Woody Allen's 44th film, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, over on Yahoo today. This follows the international trailer that originally arrived a couple of weeks ago. This ensemble quirky comedy stars Josh Brolin, Naomi Watts, Freida Pinto, Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, Gemma Jones, Lucy Punch and Ewen Bremner. You'll get a pretty dry taste of the Woody Allen quirk in this trailer, so if you don't like his stuff, then this probably isn't for you. I saw this in Cannes and it's not too memorable, but it does have a fantastic cast (and that's about it). Watch below!

First Look: Gordon-Levitt as Bike Messenger in Premium Rush

By Alex Billington

I frickin' love Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He's an incredibly talented actor, he's such a nice and friendly guy, and he picks some of the best roles. It was announced a couple of months ago that Gordon-Levitt would be starring in an upcoming bike messenger "chase thriller" titled Premium Rush, from writer/director David Koepp. Now that Inception is out, Joe is starting shooting on that film, and has been in New York City riding bikes around for training and for preparation. Just Jared (via SlashFilm) snapped a few photos of Gordon-Levitt riding his bike around the street during a shoot for the film in New York's Upper West Side yesterday.

Interview: Japanese Actor Ken Watanabe - Saito in Inception

By Alex Billington

Those of you that have seen Chris Nolan's Inception already this past weekend know that Japanese actor Ken Watanabe plays a very vital role in the movie as the businessman Saito. A couple weeks back, I got to interview Mr. Watanabe briefly for Inception and I'm finally presenting that interview today. It was a tough interview to conduct because he speaks very broken English (and was not using a translator), however I've provided the audio for you to download and simply listen to if you wish (~~download here in WMA~~) as it may be easier to understand than the text. Anyway, read on for my full interview with Inception's Ken Watanabe.

Raimi Takes Westerns to the Future in Earp: Saints for Sinners

By Ethan Anderton

Many of you know that one of the most famous westerns actually takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (if you don't know what I mean, you either don't like Star Wars or found this website by accident). Now it looks like another western will be thrust into the future, in a location not so far away. Heat Vision reports Sam Raimi is attached to direct Earp: Saints for Sinners, an adaptation of a graphic novel that sees the infamous western icon Wyatt Earp in a future where he takes on outlaws in a ravaged society where the only "boomtown" left is Las Vegas. With this and Cowboy & Aliens, western/sci-fis are the new hotness.

Larry Charles Directing Jim Carrey in Comedy 'Pierre, Pierre'

By Ethan Anderton

Perhaps one of the saddest things that both my inner-child and outer-adult has been disappointed with is the downward spiral of Jim Carrey's career after his comedy reign in the 90s. But now both those parts of me may soon rejoice as Deadline is reporting that Carrey will be teaming up with director Larry Charles (responsible for Bruno, Borat and Religulous) for the obnoxious comedy Pierre, Pierre. The comedy will see Carrey playing a self-indulgent, lazy, French nihilist who is transporting a stolen Mona Lisa from Paris to London. On his journey, he comes to love his country again. This is exactly what Carrey needs right now.

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo to Be Hard R, Fincher for Trilogy?

By Ethan Anderton

David Fincher - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

We've known since earlier this year that David Fincher would be directing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake, the first in Sony's re-adaptation of the popular Millennium Trilogy. In addition to Fincher's directing, we've even heard that Daniel Craig had landed one of the lead roles in the flick, and there's been plenty of rumors of actresses like Carey Mulligan potentially snagging a lead role. Now we're finally getting wind of the style and tone for the American take on the series as The Wrap interviewed Sony's co-chair Amy Pascal who revealed the films will be "very R-rated" and hopefully Fincher will be on-board for all of them.
