"MATRIX" DIRECTOR GOES GAY, NEW SF FILMS "GARGOYLES" AND "ARCHANGELS", PETER JACKSON CASTING FOR "THE HOBBIT"
We haven't seen director Andy Wachovski much (or almost at all) after he scored an almost legendary success with the famous sf saga "Matrix", but it seems that he is now doing something absolutely and totally unexpected: together with Lana Wachovski, 
Andy will direct Iraq war film "CN9" for which they are doing the casting right now. Believe it or not, "CN9" will deal with a homosexual relationship between a U.S. soldier and an Iraqi.
Disney Pictures is currently planning a movie about the scary mythological creatures "Gargoyles". It will not be connected either to the popular animated TV series nor to the comic book, but I'm not sure whether it will be connected with one of the popular novels by Andrew Davidson which have dealt with these dangerous creatures.
Joseph Kosinski ("Tron Legacy")will direct "Archangels", a sf action set in the near future about a covert group
of agents who battle aliens secretly living among humans. The protagonist is part of an elite force that is tasked with tracking aliens who get past Earth's defense system.
And when it comes to "The Hobbit" news, the latest update from "Heat Vision Blog" says that Peter Jackson has almost closed the deal to helm the highly-anticipated prequel and that he is currently on a casting trip between LA and NY looking for potential actors. Warner Bross is apparently furiously negotiating with MGM to get the films off the ground and release them in 2012 and 2013.

AMANDA SEYFRIED CAST FOR ANDREW NICCOL'S SF FILM "I'M.MORTAL". NEW PICS FROM ROMAN EPIC "CENTURION"
One of the best sf directors ever, Andrew Niccol ("Gattaca", "Simone") has found himself a lead actress for his new sf movie 
"I'm.mortal": Amanda Seyfried has signed to star in the film set in a future society where the aging process stops at 25 and time becomes a form of currency, with the rich essentially becoming immortal and the rest of society struggling to survive. A poor rebel murders a man for his "time" and goes on the run, taking Seyfried's character hostage, when they discover that love is more powerful than immortality. The lead actor hasn't been chosen yet.
I also have four new pictures from the Roman epic "Centurion" coming out August 27th. Starring Michael Fassbender, Olga Kurylenko and Dominic West, the film will follow the famous Ninth Legion which fights against the terrifying tribes known as the Picts in Northern Britain AD 117.

EIGHT MAGICAL CHARACTER POSTERS FROM "LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA HOOLE"
The premiere of "Legend of the Guardians: the Owls of Ga Hoole" is getting closer and closer (September 24th), and we now have eight stunningly beautiful character posters for the epic fantasy adventure directed by Zack Snyder ("300", "Watchmen"). If you click on these pics you will see some of the main characters from the film which promises to be the most precious and charming cinematic experience of the whole year: 
Metalbeak the Destroyer, Gylfie the Navigator, Digger the Tracker, Eglantine the Dreamer, Nyra the Evil Queen and Soren the main hero of the movie.
With voices of a stunning cast including legends themselves Helen Mirren, Hugo Weaving, Geoffrey Rush, Sam Neill... the film will follow Soren, a young owl enthralled by his father's epic stories of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, a mythic band of winged warriors who had fought a great battle to save all of owlkind from the evil Pure Ones. While Soren dreams of someday joining his heroes, his older brother, Kludd, scoffs at the notion, and yearns to hunt, fly and
steal his father's favor from his younger sibling. But Kludd's jealousy has terrible consequences--causing both owlets to fall from their treetop home and right into the talons of the Pure Ones. Now it is up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave young owls. Together they soar across the sea and through the mist to find the Great Tree, home of the legendary Guardians of Ga'Hoole, Soren's only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms.

JOAQUIN PHOENIX OFFERED THE ROLE OF HULK IN "THE AVENGERS"
Last week Marvel announced that they don't want Edward Norton appearing as the Incredible Hulk anymore in their movies and that they will search for a new actor who could be a more cooperative member of "The Avengers" cast. As you know "The Avengers", directed by Josh Whedon , will be a movie gathering all the biggest super heroes in one place which means Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Junior as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor together in the same movie. 
I'm not sure does this mean that they find Edward Norton a problematic actor who can't work well with other stars, but he is officially off the project now. But Marvel wasn't grieving for too long, according to today's freshest rumors, they have already offered the role of The Incredible Hulk to no other but semi-retired Joaquin Phoenix. Apparently Joaquin is currently thinking about it, since it would mean that he won't just appear in "The Avengers" film, but also in other movies from the Hulk franchise. Although I quite like Joaquin, I must admit I prefer Edward or Eric Bana in the role.

NEW ROLES FOR EWAN MCGREGOR, ORLANDO BLOOM, MARCIA CROSS, TOM HARDY, DANIEL CRAIG AND A LIVE ACTION "LITTLE MERMAID"
A whole bunch of Hollywood gentlemen is trying to get a role in "The Sweeney" according to "The Daily Mail". "The Sweeney" will be a big screen version of the 70's British crime drama, and apparently Tom Hardy, Ewan McGregor, Orlando Bloom and Daniel Craig all want a part in it. "The Sweeney" was a British television police drama focusing on two members of the Flying Squad, a branch of the Metropolitan Police specialising in tackling armed robbery and violent crime in London. 
The programme's title derives from "Sweeney Todd", which is Cockney rhyming slang for "Flying Squad". As it turns out Ray Winstone and Michael Fassbender were previously supposed to play the two main detectives, but apparently Fox wants a bigger name now to star alongside Winstone.
On another front, our favourite Desperate Housewife, the refined beauty Marcia Cross has scored a role in "Bringing Up Bobby"
with Milla Jovovich, a directorial debut by Famke Janssen which will follow a European con artist and her 10-year-old son who will try to escape her past and build a better future going through a myriad of adventures until the mother's criminal past catches up with her. Bill Pullman and Marcia Cross will play the parents who adopt the son.
And this is not a casting news but Joe Wright ("Pride and Prejudice", "Atonement", "Hanna") is planning to direct a live-action version of "The Little Mermaid", the famous Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale about beautiful mermaid which leaves her underwater kingdom for the love of a human prince. I'm nominating Emily Blunt for the role :)

A MYSTERIOUS NEW IMAGE SUGGESTS THE POSSIBLE RETURN OF THE CULT SF SHOW "FIREFLY"
The news that caused millions of geekgasms around the Net today is connected with the mysterious new image that Nathan Fillion published on his Twitter yesterday. The image shows Nathan with his former colleagues Joss Whedon, Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk, all from the cult and prematurely murdered sf TV show "Firefly" suggesting some kind of reunion. They are all mysteriously looking up at the sky as if they are waiting for some miraculous power to come down to Earth and bring the show to life again. Does this mean that "Firefly's" movie version "Serenity" might get a sequel or will the show start shooting again in some new form??? 
As you know, "Firefly" was a short-lived but eternally loved sf show which was canceled in the middle of the first season, but after that it gained an abnormal mass of fans all around the world and now it has a whole cult of fans similar to the supporters of "Star Trek" and "Star Wars". "Firefly" was set five hundred years in the future following a renegade crew aboard a small spacecraft which was trying to survive as they traveled the unknown parts of the galaxy and evaded warring factions as well as authority agents out to get them. Most of the actors Nathan Fillion, Morena Baccarin, Jewel Staite, Summer Glau, Gina Torres, Adam Baldwin ... have continued successful TV careers after "Firefly".

"X-Men: First Class", the movie which has raised waves of rumors this summer, is about to begin with the shooting in August, and the casting process is continuing each new day. There are more and more updates about Aaron Johnson ("Kick-Ass") really getting the role of young Cyclops, and there are some rumors that Kevin Bacon has been offered a role of villain, but there are also some official casting news: young actor Caleb Landry Jones

There's also another new member to the mutant saga: young Lucas Till ("Walk the Line", "Hannah Montana") is negotiating to play Havok who is actually the younger brother of Cyclops.

You know I'm not into non-intelligent comedies, but this one brought to us by the guys who couldn't sit through another vampire movie, just hits the target I like :) Coming to theaters this August, "Vampires Suck" is a goofy parody on "Twilight" and "Alice in wonderland". Check out the first trailer for the film in which the makers of "Date Movie", "Epic Movie" and "Meet the Spartans" take on the vampire genre, particularly "The Twilight Saga".
If that wasn't funny enough for you you can also check out the first picture of Colin Farrell from
the set of the new comedy "Horrible Bosses" in which he is sporting a hilarious comb-over and you can't really recognise him :) Starring Jason Bateman, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston, "Horrible Bosses" brings the story line which revolves around three friends who decide to whack their abusive "superiors" in a desperate bid for happiness but their plan goes terribly wrong. Spacey, Farrell and Aniston will play oppressive bosses, and Bateman will be one of the co-workers. The movie is scheduled for premiere next summer, July 2011.
