By Ethan Anderton

Apparently the project was revealed sometime last year, but since only a title was available with vague details on a video game based character and story, we haven't officially reported on Disney Animation's film known as Reboot Ralph.

Reilly as the titular character and Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch providing their voice talents as well.

Barry Levinson & Al Pacino Reunite for 'The Humbling' Before 'Gotti'

By Ethan Anderton

Last month we learned that Gotti: Three Generations would have actor Al Pacino reuniting with his You Don't Know Jack director Barry Levinson as the filmmaker stepped up to replace Nick Cassavetes. However, it looks like the duo will actually collaborate again before the crime family biopic gets off the ground. Deadline says the two will work together on an adaptation of Philip Roth's novel The Humbling next, and this news comes about a year and a half after hearing about the project in December of 2009. The story has Pacino playing an increasingly irrelevant actor who may find renewal in a younger woman.

James Badge Dale Also Joining the Cast of 'World War Z' Adaptation

By Ethan Anderton

The actor has had some great turns on TV with series like "Rubicon" and HBO's phenomenal miniseries "The Pacific," but now James Badge Dale is enlisting in a different kind of war. Variety reports the actor is currently negotiating to take a role in the adaptation of Max Brooks's novel World War Z, the story of a researcher (Brad Pitt) for the U.N. Postwar Commission learning about a global zombie epidemic ten years after the event. Dale will play an American soldier who tries to alert authorities that the zombie threat is real. Considering the source material, it's not entirely clear how the story will unfold on screen. Read on!

'Spider-Man' Franchise Producer Laura Ziskin Passes Away at Age 61

By Ethan Anderton

Sad news starts off our week as Variety reports longtime producer Laura Ziskin succumbed to her battle with breast cancer over the weekend and passed away at the age of 61. Perhaps best known for producing Sam Raimi's Spider-Man franchise, Ziskin was diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2004 while working on Spider-Man 2, but she battled the disease for seven years and continued to work as best she could. One wouldn't expect anything less from a woman who was part of a whole generation of women who climbed the ladder and fought gender bias to become Hollywood executives and producers in the 80's and 90's.

Watch: Another Sneak Peek Trailer for Favreau's 'Cowboys & Aliens'

By Alex Billington

"Grab your guns, we're riding out!" Another awesome sneak peek trailer for Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens showed during the Spike Guys Choice Awards last week, but has now been uploaded online officially via YouTube. This trailer plays pretty much exactly similar to all the other trailers we've seen, but since it's Favreau it's still awesome, and it's looking better and better as we get closer to release. Daniel Craig stars along with Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde. I feel like they're showing a lot of footage from this at the end, so watch out if you want to stay fresh, otherwise, enjoy. We're so close that I just want to see it already!

Indie Trailer Sunday: Hitoshi Matsumoto's 'Scabbard Samurai' Trailer

By Alex Billington

From the crazy brilliant mind behind Big Man Japan, which is being remade, and Symbol, comes another new film titled Scabbard Samurai, which we have a trailer for thanks to SlashFilm. This time, filmmaker Hitoshi Matsumoto takes a light-hearted approach and tells a story of an old samurai (Takaaki Nomi) who deserted his clan with his ashamed daughter, but got caught. In order to be released, he has 30 days to make a young samurai Lord laugh. Unfortunately the trailer doesn't have any English subtitles yet, but it's still an easy watch, as this looks quite sweet and funny. The little girl looks like she kicks ass, too. Have fun!

Robert Zemeckis Directing Tom Hanks in a 'Major Matt Mason' Movie

By Alex Billington

It looks like Robert Zemeckis isn't time traveling anytime soon, instead he'll be taking on more sci-fi. In a Hollywood Reporter article, they report on announcements from Tom Hanks' Playtone Productions about three projects, including Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" for HBO, an American Idiot movie based on the Broadway show, and Major Matt Mason, an adaptation of a Mattel action figure that Robert Zemeckis is set to direct in 3D. Whoa! This is also the same movie that has Zemeckis regular Tom Hanks set to star. Zemeckis has obviously been working on a lot of different stuff behind the scenes, but this may not be next.

By Alex Billington

We've already got Marvel's Thor out of the way, next week is DC's Green Lantern, but coming up after that is one more big Marvel movie - Captain America: The First Avenger. The Hero Complex Film Fest is this weekend and today they're showing Marvel's Iron Man 1 and 2, with Jon Favreau as the guest. We've heard a new Captain America trailer is debuting there, but to compliment that, Hero Complex online wrote about their contest to win this retro poster - which was made by artist Paolo Rivera as a cast and crew gift only. Damn! It's a totally frickin' awesome old school poster and it only makes me more excited to see this!

Gringotts' Dragon Gets Another Big 'Deathly Hallows: Part 2' Banner

By Alex Billington

Ahhh it's a dragon! Warner Bros has dropped off yet another awesome new banner for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, this time featuring the dragon from Gringotts that the kids escape on (spoiler). This was found by The Daily Blam, and there's no high res, but Leaky Cauldron has the biggest version of it you can find, as it would be cool to see the kids close-up. This dragon guards the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, and when Harry, Ron and Hermione go there in Deathly Hallows: Part 2, they um, come across him. I can't wait, we're almost there! I'm sure there's still even more marketing material yet to come.

Jeremy Renner to Star in Rally Racing Film 'Slingshot' for Paramount

By Alex Billington

What does Hawkeye do in his off-time? Apparently he's a rally racer. Variety reports that Jeremy Renner, the actor starring as Hawkeye in The Avengers as well as the new Bourne movie coming up, has made a deal with Paramount to produce and star in a project called Slingshot. The film will tell the true story of Bill Caswell, an unemployed racing freak who famously bought a $500 BMW jalopy off Craigslist and used it to beat $400,000-plus rally cars in the Mexican leg of the World Rally Championships. Renner and Don Handfield will produce at their production company The Combine. Handfield will also write the screenplay.
