Good News: Channing Tatum (who is soaring in popularity after 21 Jump Street and Magic Mike) is hoping to produce and star in a new Evel Knievel biopic. This is the sort of thing that could catch the Academy's attention.
Bad News: Philip Seymour Hoffman has succumbed to franchise fever by signing up to the Hunger Games sequel (which makes him the second actor to play Capote who stars in the franchise - the other is Toby Jones). Hoffman will play Plutarch Heavensbee, Head Gamemaker of the 75th Hunger Games.
Mad News: over-hyped erotic fiction trilogy, Fifty Shades of Grey, is getting turned into a film. The books focus on Anastasia (seriously) who captures the interest of charming billionaire (again, seriously) Christian Grey. Unfortunately, she is a virgin and he likes BDSM (sigh). So basically, it's Twilight for middle-aged women. Expect it to take millions at the box office. Much is being made of the fact that Mike De Luca is producing and he also produced the magnificent The Social Network. But, as Empire pointed out, De Luca also produced Ghost Rider and The Love Guru. Ahem.
Poster News: all signs indicate that Expendables 2 will be way more fun than the first movie, mostly thanks to Simon 'Con Air' West sitting in the director's chair. And if the trailer didn't convince you, hopefully this hardcore poster will.
Trailer News: whether you are a Twi-hard or a reluctant boyfriend, it is likely that you have been living with the Twilight series for the past few years. Well, for better or worse, the end is nigh. Click below for the trailer for the final instalment.
