Paul Greengrass won't do fourth 'Bourne' film
12 hours ago
I love Paul Greengrass' films, and I was looking forward to him helming another "Bourne" flick, but according to The Playlist, the filmmaker won't return to direct another Jason Bourne installment. Bummer.
The project is quite messy, apparently, as two scripts are circling around and nothing has been decided on yet. George Nolfi wrote one, and Joshua Zetumer wrote another one, but no one consulted Greengrass.
The Playlist also points out that Greengrass' upcoming action flick "Green Zone" cost way much more money Universal wanted to spend. This could be another reason for his departure. He's too expensive. »

Tom Cavanagh has officially boarded Eric Brevig's upcoming "Yogi Bear" film for Warner Bros. He's joining Anna Faris, Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake. The film is currently shooting in New Zealand.
Variety says Cavanagh will play Ranger Smith in the mix of CGI and live-action. Brad Copeland wrote the script. Cavanagh's Smith finds himself drawn romantically to Faris' role of a documentary filmmaker.
Aykroyd voices Yogi, and Timberlake lends his voice to Boo-Boo, Yogi's partner in crime. Cavanagh's credits include "Ed," "Trust Me," "Eli Stone," "Scrubs" and "How to Eat Fried Worms." »

First 'The Karate Kid' remake images roll in
12 hours ago
Columbia Pictures is currently making an unnecessary remake of "The Karate Kid," and the first pictures from the upcoming adventure have surface on the Web. Check out some of them above and below.
The film, a remake of John G. Avildsen’s 1984 version, follows a bullied boy (Jaden Smith) who learns all there is to know about karate with the help of an enthusiastic mentor (Jackie Chan).
The original “Karate Kid” was followed by three sequels. As terrible as this may sound, we'll probably see more remakes if this one ends up scoring big at the box office. I hope that won't happen though. »

First 'Iron Man 2' poster kicks butt already!
20 hours ago
"Iron Man 2," the anticipated sequel to "Iron Man," won't open in theaters until May 7, 2010, but a first poster for the action flick has just now hit the Web, courtesy of the folks at Yahoo! Movies.
It's only a first one-sheet, but it's already badass, don't you think? Iron Man himself looks great, and this poster also gives you a first look at the mean War Machine, a role played by Don Cheadle.
So, what do you think? Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Sam Rockwell (Justin Hammer), Mickey Rourke (Whiplash), Samuel L. Jackson, Kate Mara, Clark Gregg, and Gwyneth Paltrow co-star in the sequel. »

John Carpenter is currently working on his upcoming thriller "The Ward," and the folks at Dread Central spotted a new promo image for the film, which stars Amber Heard and Danielle Panabaker.

Kristen quickly realizes things are not as they seem. The air is heavy with secrets, and at night, when the hospital is dark and foreboding, she hears strange and frightening sounds. It appears they are not alone. »
