Daniel Craig to Return in James Bond 23?

MGM announced earlier this month that it plans to have James Bond 23 in theaters by November of 2012, with a brand new 007 adventure coming every other year after that. Since this news broke, there has been much speculation about Daniel Craig's return to the franchise. As he is booked to appear in all three chapters of The Millinium Trilogy for the foreseeable future, the first of which, titled The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, is now in production. It is unclear if Craig will take a break sometime between these three movies to lens James Bond 23, or if he will depart from the series altogether.

Craig is still signed onto play Bond in at least three more 007 adventures. But because of MGM's financial troubles, the actor may not be able to abide by his contract. It is quite possible that MGM will hire a new, perhaps younger, James Bond for the next installment, and then have Craig return in subsequent sequels. Co-star Jeffrey Wright, who has played American CIA agent and friend of Bond Felix Leiter in both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, doesn't feel that is the case, though. When asked if the two actors would be reuniting on the set of James Bond 23, Wright had this to say (via MI6):

"Things seem to be moving in the right direction, although sideways at times. It seems to be heading toward some resolution."

We'll be sure to keep you updated as James Bond 23 moves closer to production, especially if and when Daniel Craig's return is made official.

James Bond 23 is in development and stars Daniel Craig, Judi Dench. The film is directed by Sam Mendes.

Click on the video below to watch footage from David Gordon Green's Medieval adventure, but only if you're over the age of 18. Universal Pictures has also sent us a new batch of photos from the movie, which you can click on to access the rest of our gallery:









Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave, handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general. Danny McBride and James Franco team up for an epic comedy adventure set in a fantastical world - Your Highness. As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent's fiancée before their kingdom is destroyed.

Thadeous (Danny McBride) has spent his life watching his perfect older brother Fabious (James Franco) embark upon valiant journeys and win the hearts of his people. Tired of being passed over for adventure, adoration and the throne, he's settled for a life of wizard's weed, hard booze and easy maidens. But when Fabious' bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), the king gives his deadbeat son an ultimatum: Man up and help rescue her or get cut off.

Watch Movie Video:

Half-assedly embarking upon his first quest, Thadeous joins Fabious to trek across the perilous outlands and free the princess. Joined by Isabel (Natalie Portman) - an elusive warrior with a dangerous agenda of her own-the brothers must vanquish horrific creatures and traitorous knights before they can reach Belladonna. If Thadeous can find his inner hero, he can help his brother prevent the destruction of his land. Stay a slacker, and not only does he die a coward, he gets front row seats to the dawn of an all-new Dark Ages.

Your Highness comes to theaters April 8th, 2011 and stars Danny McBride, James Franco, Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel, Justin Theroux, Damian Lewis, Brian Steele, Toby Jones. The film is directed by David Gordon Green.

Warner Bros. is in negotiations with Robert Zemeckis to remake the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz. According to Deadline, the studio plans to use the original script (which is credited to thirteen different writers) in bringing this old tale back to life.

Walt Disney Pictures has long been trying to return to the Emerald City with its own planned prequel Oz: The Great and Powerful, which Sam Raimi is developing to direct himself. Robert Downey Jr. has long been associated with the leading role, though he isn't signed on yet. Now, it will be a race to the finish line to see who can get their OZ film in production and on screens first.

Robert Zemeckis is currently working on another remake, Yellow Submarine, which he is producing through Disney for a 2012 release date. After that, the director was set to make his live-action return with the project Timeless, though the live-action The Wizard of Oz may now come first if Warner Bros. has any hopes of beating Disney to that famed yellow brick road.

The Wizard of Oz was released August 15th, 1939 and stars Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley, Billie Burke, Margaret Hamilton, Charley Grapewin. The film is directed by Victor Fleming, Mervyn LeRoy, Richard Thorpe, King Vidor.

Oz: The Great and Powerful comes to theaters in 2013. The film is directed by Sam Raimi.

"WB has no plans to rush out another Batman Movie once Christopher Nolan has completed The Dark Knight Rises.

Batman Heading to TV After The Dark Knight Rises?

An interesting rumor has sprung forth from Comic Book Movie. According to their inside source at Warner Bros
., when Christopher Nolan completes his Batman trilogy with The Dark Knight Rises, the franchise is going to move to the small screen with a weekly live action TV series that will see the return of The Joker to Gotham City.

There is no casting news as to who may take over the highly coveted and hard to replace role of The Joker, but Warner Bros. is reportedly looking at Karl Urban, or a "Karl Urban" type, to take on the weekly chores of playing Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Here is the letter received in regards to the forthcoming television series that would revolve around billionaire Bruce Wayne and his further adventures in Gotham City as The Dark Knight:

"WB has no plans to rush out another Batman Movie once Christopher Nolan has completed The Dark Knight Rises. Instead, the heads in power are looking at something to do with TV.

The idea comes from the successful TV transitions of Smallville and Sherlock Holmes --the Hartswood Films/BBC Television show of the same name starring Benedict Cumberbatch that screened recently.

So, WB is looking at putting together a live action Batman TV series. The Head Executive in charge (name removed to protect source) who has overseen the development and production of such notable hits as: "Two and a Half Men", "The Mentalist", "ER", "The West Wing", "Without a Trace" and " Friends ", has been given the task. He would like to keep it in line with the Christopher Nolan movies. No word on any stories or script, but he wants a real world feel with young adult audiences in mind.

It has also been mentioned that this is a way to re-introduce The Joker as a completely new version and not step on Heath Ledger's memory/version, as WB knows this is a sensitive subject. They believe that the Joker alone will garner ratings through the roof and are already planning on a closed set with extremely tight security to prevent any leaked footage.

The actor they have mentioned as a "type" to play Batman/Bruce Wayne is Karl Urban. Karl Urban plays Dr. McCoy in the new Star Trek franchise.


There is no official word on a Batman television series from Warner Bros. at this time, so this news should be taken as a rumor. We will be sure to let you know as soon as an official statement is made, but don't look for that until after The Dark Knight Risesis released in 2012.

The Dark Knight Rises comes to theaters July 20th, 2012 and stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan.

In Red Riding Hood, Amanda Seyfried plays Valerie, a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie's older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. As panic grips the town, Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast--one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect...and bait.

1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Daniel Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). It's a town that lives in fear.

But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known.

Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents-townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors-all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.

Deadline reports that actress Katherine Heigl has bowed out of the lead role in the upcoming movie Adaline, which is being distributed by Summit Entertainment.

We last reported on this movie back in July, when director Andy Tennant signed on. While Tennant remains with the project, Katherine Heigl left, reportedly because she is not ready to return to work after recently adopting a daughter.

There are rumors that Katherine Heigl was fired by Lakeshore Entertainment after several disagreements with the studio. However, Lakeshore and reps for Katherine Heigl denied that rumor. Here's what Lakeshore's Gary Lucchesi, who is also a producer on Adaline, had to say about Katherine Heigl bowing out of the production:

"She has made two movies with us and we certainly support her decision. We were scheduled to shoot mid-March and we hope to achieve that. We are great fans of hers and if this is what she has to do, we respect that."

The role will be re-cast immediately in order to meet their March production start date. Andy Tennant is directing from a script by J. Mills Goodloe and Salvador Paskowitz, with Allison Burnett revising the original story. The plot centers on a beautiful woman who mysteriously became immortal and has looked like she was in her mid-twenties for the past 100 years.
Angela Lansbury has signed onto play the immortal woman's daughter.

Adaline comes to theaters in 2012. The film is directed by Andy Tennant.

Gerard Butler is in talks to star in Relativity Media's sci-fi adventure Afterburn, for Neal H. Moritz's Original Films and Tobey Maguire's Maguire Entertainment.
According to Variety, Antoine Fuqua is in negotiations to direct.

Afterburn will be based on the graphic novels published by Red 5 Comics and set against the backdrop of a
postapocalyptic Earth whose Eastern Hemisphere was destroyed by a massive solar flare. The story centers on treasure hunters aiming to extract such items as the Mona Lisa amid competition from rival hunters, mutants and pirates.

The project is based on Matt Johnson's adaptation of the Red 5 title, penned by Paul Ens and Scott Chitwood.

Afterburn is in development .

Daniel Stamm to Direct Martyrs Remake

The Last Exorcism director Daniel Stamm has signed on to direct the English-language adaptation of French director Pascal Laugier's dark and violent Martyrs, about two teenage girls who are not what they appear to be, according to 24 Frames.

Martyrs tells the story of Lucie and Anna, orphans who establish a friendship, until one of them inexplicably goes on a murderous rampage to avenge what may or may not have been earlier incidents of child abuse.

"Martyrs is very nihilistic," Daniel Stamm said. "The American approach [that I'm looking at] would go through all that darkness but then give a glimmer of hope. You don't have to shoot yourself when it's over."

"Every time you think you know where it's going, it goes somewhere else. It plays on things that are familiar - like two friends who can't be separated, kind of a Forrest Gump and Jenny situation. But then it takes a turn, and in doing so asks interesting quesitons. 'If you have a best friend in the world and she goes crazy, how much do you owe this friend to go down with them?' It's much more than a horror film."
Daniel Stamm dismissed the Internet rumor that Kristen Stewart could be starring in the remake, laughing and quizzically saying that it's "the first time I've heard that."
No production date has been set.

Director Baz Luhrmann has set Carey Mulligan for the role of Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby, an adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald literary classic, reports Deadline.

Carey Mulligan was one of an elite list of actresses who met with Baz Luhrmann while he conducted readings with Leonardo DiCaprio, who is set to play Jay Gatsby. Tobey Maguire will play his friend, Nick Carraway, who narrates the tale.

Baz Luhrmann said:
"The results from the workshop process on The Great Gatsby have been very encouraging. There are a few elements that I feel need to be resolved before I would categorically state that this is my next film. Regarding the role of Daisy Buchanan, I was privileged to explore the character with some of the world's most talented actresses, each one bringing their own particular interpretation, all of which were legitimate and exciting. However, specific to this particular production of The Great Gatsby, I was thrilled to pick up the phone an hour ago to the young Oscar-nominated British actress Carey Mulligan and say to her: "Hello, Daisy Buchanan."

The Great Gatsby comes to theaters in 2012. The film is directed by Baz Luhrmann.

Mahesh Babu and Anushka Shetty are pairing again for director Lingusamy's next film. The movie has been titled Veta and it will hit the floors in 2011.

The movie is simultaneously being made in Tamil and Telugu. Actor Aarya of Varudu fame, will play the lead in Tamil version. Veta also features R Madhavan and Sameera Reddy and they will portray the same roles in both the versions, says report.

Mahesh and Anushka were recently seen in the film Khaleja. Though the movie got mixed reviews, the chemistry between the actors received good responses from the audience.

Not many Tamil actors gain popularity in Bollywood, but Madhavan is one among the exceptions. The actor, who has portrayed a variety of roles in B-town has received much appreciation and love from the PAN Indian audience as well. With super hits like Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein and 3 Idiots to his credits, he has become one of the most popular faces in Bollywood. Maddy, as he is known as in Mumbai, says that he has always loved the Hindi language and it is probably for this reason that he has been able to perform in Bollywood with equal élan. Madhavan is of the opinion that Tamil actors should learn the language before setting foot on the Bollywood soil.

In the past, we have seen South Indian actors like Nagarjuna and Chiranjeevi acting in Bollywood films. However, none could gain the popular votes of the masses. So what is the secret behind the Madhavan's success? Is it simply because of his traditional good-boy looks and the dimpled smile or because of the films that have landed on his lap? Madhavan would like to think that a lot depends on the character that an actor is portraying onscreen. While he can have a Tamil accent while playing a South Indian, he should be able to speak proper Hindi to portray other roles.

Having tasted success in Bollywood, Madhavan advises his peers like Surya and Vikram to quickly learn the Hindi language, else with the advent of the live sound technique in Bollywood, it becomes difficult for producers in Mumbai to cast an actor who does not know Hindi.

London (ANI): The Beatles have finally agreed to make their songs available on iTunes for the first time, it has emerged. The band's surviving members Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison, have so far held out against making their music available digitally but are finally ready to embrace the digital age, reports the Telegraph.

Digital outlets have enabled fans to buy tracks for a fraction of their former price, but the Beatles would likely see a boom in sales if they made their back catalogue available to buy online. The band, who refused to sell their songs on CD until 1987, have finally agreed to allow digital releases exclusively through iTunes, the Financial Times reported.

The decision comes two years before the 50-year copyright protection on the Beatles' earliest work is to due to begin running out. 'Love Me Do', the band's first single, released in October 1962, will lose its copyright in late 2012.

Rumours that the Beatles were ready to step into the digital age were fuelled by an announcement on the iTunes website, which read: "Tomorrow is just another day that you''ll never forget. Check back here tomorrow for an exciting announcement from iTunes."

The band's record label, Apple Corps, and the software company have been divided by a long-standing argument about music sales. In an interview earlier this year, McCartney said: “It's been business hassles. Not with us, or iTunes. It's the people in the middle, the record label. There have been all sorts of reasons why they don't want to do it.”
