Screening The News 10.19.09
Category: Trailers

Let's face it, not all of us have time to scour the various movie sites to pick out the bits and pieces of the latest rumors and news that interest us. Frankly speaking, neither do I, but hey, someone has to do it right? So that being said, let's take a look at the latest news across the reel.

X-Men First Class In The Works

While downplaying the likelihood of a Magneto prequel ever being made, even though a script is in hand from David S. Goyer (Batman Begins), series producer Lauren Shuler Donner did openly discuss the development of an X-Men First Class movie, as reported by IGN.com.  The film would revolve around Cyclops and his coming to the X-Mansion. In keeping true to the series, then we would also likely see new origins for Jean Grey, a non-blue Beast, Iceman, and Angel. In likelyhood, this film, if it comes to light, would reboot the series and would likely mean an end to Brian Singer's purported return to the Marvel mutants.

Jackey Earl Haley to Shed Rorshach For Power RIng?

Over the weekend, rumors started flying that Jackie Earl Haley (Watchmen, Bad New Bears) was about to star across from Ryan Reynolds in the Green Lantern adaptation. Of course, Haley is rumored to be taking the part of Sinestro, the rogue Green Lantern turned arch nemesis. Now don't get me wrong, Haley could take the role in a decent direction, but to be honest, I'd rather see it given to someone like Cillian Murphy, who played The Scarecrow in Batman Begins. You want a tall, lanky, yet imposingly scary actor to take that role and Murphy really fits that bill for me.

Inception Trailer Causing a Stir

There perhaps isn't a movie out there that is creating a bigger buzz that Inception, the latest picture from Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight). Folks are putting the mystery behind it on par with The Matrix. You decide for yourself:

 

Golem Only Returning Star to 'The Hobbit'

When Guillermo Del Toro's shooting begins for the much anticipated prequel to the Lord Of The Rings, there won't be many familiar faces from Peter Jackson's reign to be seen. As a matter of fact, the only confirmed actor that will be returning will be Andy Serkis, who of course was heavily made-up to play the role of Golem.

Of course, Del Toro, the director behind Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth, is also ties to some significant comic book adaptations as well, including Deadman and Death: The High Cost of Living, which would be a shame if it hit before an adaptation of Sandman, but that's another story.
