Wednewsday 28th March

Two days later than normal, here is your weekly round-up of movie news...


Good News: Michael K Williams (Omar from The Wire) has signed on to play Ol' Dirty Bastard, founder of the Wu-Tang Clan, in the upcoming big screen biopic.

Bad News: Life's Too Short may have been a real documentary after all. When commenting on The Leprechaun reboot announced last week, original Leprechaun Warwick Davis claimed he had been holding out for another sequel because he felt there was a lot more to be explored with the original character. This is a murderous Leprechaun we're talking about. Davis expressed interest in a Leprechaun road movie and a Leprechaun-Pirates mash-up with Johnny Depp! 

Mad News: The Hunger Games took $155 million in its opening weekend making it the third biggest opening ever after Harry Potter 8 and The Dark Knight and the biggest ever for a non-sequel. Never underestimate the teen market.

Jazz Flute News: the Anchorman sequel is official! Will Ferrell announced he was working on the script with Adam McKay on the Conan O'Brien show. And he announced it in style...


Trailer News: click below for the second trailer for The Dictator, with a longer look at Sacha Baron Cohen's new character, General Aladeen.
