Warner Bros. Getting Guy Ritchie to Take on 'Sgt. Rock' Movie Again?

Over three years ago Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie was linked to an adaptation of the DC Comics property Sgt. Rock, a comic book about a hardcore infantry officer fighting in World War II. However, last we heard about the long gestating adaptation from 2009 was that I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence was taking over the project, but would take the character into the future in order to avoid feeling dated and out of touch with contemporary issues. Well, now Twitch has learned Warner Bros. wants Ritchie back on the project and hopes set it up as his next feature after finishing up Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

First Great Poster for Jonathan Levine's '50/50' with Gordon-Levitt

By Alex Billington

I love this tagline: It takes a pair to beat the odds. Not only does it tie in with the story at hand in 50/50, about a young "kid" who is diagnosed with cancer, but it ties in directly with the comedy and even a certain scene from the trailer. Our friends at SlashFilm have unveiled the first official poster for Jonathan Levine's 50/50, the comedy starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen as his friend, as well as Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard and Anjelica Huston. I've seen this movie and I'm big fanof it, it's definitely one of those upcoming fall gems that I highly suggest you don't forget about. Hopefully this poster will help!

Second Fun Teaser Trailer for Aardman's Animated 'Arthur Christmas'

By Alex Billington

Brilliant! Columbia Pictures has debuted a second fun teaser trailer for Arthur Christmas, the Aardman animated adventure about Santa's son Arthur. The first teaser trailer for this was premiered last December, and this is the latest follow-up since then, still not providing much of a look at the story, but at least giving us a sense of the comedy of the movie. It reminds me of Disney/ABC's Prep & Landing, but with a bit of an Aardman twist. The voice cast includes James McAvoy as Arthur, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Hugh Laurie and Imelda Staunton. I know this kid is going to ruin Christmas, but then he's going to save it again, right?

John Cusack Replacing Tobey Maguire in Lee Daniel's Film 'Paperboy'

By Ethan Anderton

Back in May we learned that Precious director Lee Daniels had finally lined up a follow-up to his hard-hitting Oscar nominated drama by taking on an adaptation of The Paperboy. At the time the director had rounded up a cast that included Tobey Maguire, Zac Efron, Sofia Vergara and Matthew McConaughey. However, since then Tobey Maguire has been forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with his work on The Great Gatsby. However, now Variety has word on a solid replacement as John Cusack is stepping up to take the role in this indie drama based on the novel of the same name by Peter Dexter. Read on!

Casting Tidbits: Michael Chiklis, Elizabeth Banks and Walton Goggins

By Ethan Anderton

Her lips were warm, and my arm wasn't the only thing that was throbbing. Our hearts were, too. My plan was to kiss her with every lip on my face... then slowly move her to the next room, maneuver her next to the bed, marry her, and start the Casting Tidbits. First up, Deadline reports Michael Chiklis has signed on to play the villain in Parker, an action thriller from director Taylor Hackford based on the series of novels by Donald Westlake, which follows the titular thief (Jason Statham) who at times is forced to be a killer, but still lives by a code that includes never stealing money from people who need it.

'Deathly Hallows: Part 2' Director David Yates' Letter to Projectionists

By Alex Billington

It's becoming a trend for filmmakers to write notes to projectionists and attach them with prints/harddrives sent to theaters. While we've featured some of these letters from the likes of Michael Bay for Transformers 3, and Terrence Malick for Tree of Life, I've heard from projectionists that they receive letters like this quite often. I received an email from an FS.net reader named Thomas, a projectionist and Harry Potter fan, who sent over the letter he received with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 written by director David Yates. It again speaks of how projectionists are very important to the theatrical experience.

A New Raimi 'Evil Dead' with Bruce Campbell is Really in the Works?

By Alex Billington

Some very interesting news to report tonight. It all starts on Dread Central, where they report from a "very reliable source" that a new Evil Dead, a fourth movie which was been talked about plenty before, is in the works and that Sam Raimi's editor Bob Murawski is out in Detroit starting work. But then things get a little fuzzy because Raimi is actually casting his other movie Oz: The Great in Powerful in Detroit right now (via BD), however there's hope. A tweet from a new twitter account that might indeed be Bruce Campbell himself (@GroovyBruce) confirms the news. It may actually mean there is something in the works. Read on!

Check This Out: Explosive New 'Bellflower' Official Poster Unearthed

By Alex Billington

A Love Story With Apocalyptic Stakes. Take a look at this massively explosive new poster for Evan Glodell's crazy indie flick Bellflower, as debuted originally by HitFix. In case anyone forgot, Bellflower is that gritty, apocalyptic romance indie, starring Evan Glodell and Jessie Wiseman from Sundance, and you can see the theatrical trailer here. I have a feeling they asked a designer for a poster that encompassed all elements of the film: indie romance, apocalyptic visions, that effin' Medusa car (which is really marketing) - and bam, here's the poster they whipped up. Check it out below in full and don't forget this comes out in a few weeks.

Disney and Johnny Depp Plan 'Night Stalker' and Paul Revere Films

By Ethan Anderton

Since the studio has found billions of dollars in box office bank and more from Johnny Depp starring in their Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, it only makes sense that the Disney would want to work with him yet again. Therefore it's no surprise that Deadline reports the studio and Depp Infinitum Nihil production banner are teaming up for two new projects. The first is a new feature film adaptation of the 1970's made-for-TV movie The Night Stalker while the other is about the famous Midnight Ride by Paul Revere when he warned our colonial militia of an impending invasion of British military forces.
