Both Andy Diggle and Jock have leaked some behind-the-scenes looks at the "Losers" set over the last 24 hours. The comic's logo appears to have been quite pervasive, showing up on sanitation reminders and stunt team shirts during filming in Puerto Rico.
Elsewhere, though a "Goats" movie has not been announced, creator Jon Rosenberg announced his ideal picks to star if an adaptation ever occurs. His fellow webcomicker R. Stevens, meanwhile, quickly claimed a cameo. Check out those tweets after the jump along with Bryan Lee O'Malley's "Scott Pilgrim" hopes and a surefire way to get Kevin Smith to block you.

'Silver Surfer' Movie's Not Dead, But Is J. Michael Straczynski Still Involved?
8 hours ago | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
The reports of the Silver Surfer's death are greatly exaggerated, according to screenwriter and comic book author J. Michael Straczynski.
In a recent interview, the "Ninja Assassin" scribe revealed that he wasn't sure what the status of the "Silver Surfer" movie was following the announced decision to reboot the "Fantastic Four" property. Now, Straczynski is clarifying his comments, beginning with the widespread reports that the "Silver Surfer" movie has been benched.
"When I was asked about the Silver Surfer script, I responded about the one I'd written around the time that ['Fantastic Four 2'] was launched, and was designed to pick up where that one left off," said the writer in an e-mail to IGN.
"When FF2 didn't do as well as hoped for, the script was set aside, but that has Nothing to do with the Silver Surfer script that is Now under development at Fox with other folks," he added. »

Silver Surfer movie still in development

Last week Collider interviewed writer Joe Straczynski who said that in his version of the Silver Surfer script the action would take place after the events of Fantastic Four 2. As 20th Century Fox are looking to reboot the franchise there is a chance his script won’t be made into a movie, however Straczynski posted [...] »

'Silver Surfer' Is Not Dead
30 November 2009 1:56 PM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
"Ninja Assassin" writer J. Michael Straczynski cleared up some confusion regarding the "Silver Surfer" standalone project that was once thought to be Doa. Here's what he wrote in an email:"When I was asked about the Silver Surfer script, I responded about the one I'd written around the time that FF2 was launched, and was designed to pick up where that one left off. When FF2 didn't do as well as hoped for, that script was set aside, but that has Nothing to do with the Silver Surfer script that is Now under development at Fox with other folks. As far as I know, that is proceeding apace. So the hysteria that's gripped the nets about 'ohmygod the Surfer movie is dead!' is not correct, as I was again referring to only that one specific script tied into FF2, Not what's being done now."

The Return of Jessica Alba?
30 November 2009 10:32 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Sure, some would suggest that Jessica Alba really can't return to form since there never was a form to begin with. But there definitely was a time when Alba was an "It" girl -- the type to grace numerous magazine covers and star in big, flashy films like Sin City and The Fantastic Four. But then her star began to fade as she clumsily starred in one cruddy flick after another (Into the Blue, Good Luck Chuck, The Eye, Awake, The Love Guru), and with other, more sensational young actresses attempting to make their mark in Hollywood, Alba sort of fell by the wayside.
But now the gal has positioned herself with a few pretty interesting upcoming projects, including two produced by Robert Rodriguez (Machete, The Insiders), one that's based on a very good novel (An Invisible Sign of My Own) and one that finds the actress taking things farther »

'The Losers' Movie Update: New Photos And Jeffrey Dean Morgan Interview Hit The 'Net
30 November 2009 8:44 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
While we were throttled down for the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S., bunches of news was hitting the wire about director Sylvain's White's upcoming adaptation of "The Losers."
Along with a pair of new photos that debuted on Omelete featuring much of the film's the all-star cast and a solo shot of "Star Trek" and "Avatar" actress Zoe Saldana as the team's resident loose cannon, Aisha, the online world also received some thoughts about the film from one of its most prominent stars, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, courtesy of a FilmInk interview.
"I've been hurt since Day One," said Morgan of the bruising (literally) experience of playing Clay, the leader of the left-for-dead special ops team out to find the agent who wronged them. "I'm getting a little old for bouncing off the pavement. Some stuff is hard when you're forty — but there's nothing that I can't recover from. »

Why Superman Is On Hold
27 November 2009 6:11 PM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
We've talked about this on the site before, but here's a pretty good rundown on why the Superman franchise is in (inexplicable) limbo right now.The project is on hold as the studio waits to emerge from legal limbo over the fate of the Superman heirs. It’s about who controls what divided rights going forward and who owes what to whom when. Warners may be trying to settle with the Siegel and Shuster families, who in 2013 will retrieve the copyright of the Superman material published in Detective Comics’ Action Comics Vol. 1, in order to merge all the Superman rights.As the studio is waiting to resolve the legal dispute, there’s no movement on the project. Production execs at Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. have been culling the various pitches that have come in, and are eager to start development on a sequel. Who knew, when Brandon Routh played »

Anyone Wants Another Amityville Remake? No? The Weinsteins Do…
26 November 2009 1:11 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
It’s either a bold, brave move on the part of a company who know how to reinvent a horror classic merely five years after the last rehash, or it’s the desperate flogging of a horse that’s not only dead but was set six feet under a few years ago.
Nevertheless the Weinstein Company and Dimension films believe the time is rife again for a return to The Amityville Horror, according to Bloody-Disgusting, and despite the 2005 remake starring a bearded be-sixpacked Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George not exactly chilling friends and unnerving people, the prospect of another visit to Long Island looks to be in our future.
Of course the project is in the very early stages and there’s little chance that this will see the inside of a cinema for a good long while, yet it points to a disturbing trend, namely the rebooting of a »

Jessica Alba Tackles Action Role in 'The Insiders'
25 November 2009 11:03 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
If you've had a chance to watch the grueling promo trailer for The Killer Inside Me, you know already that it's potenially the riskiest role of Jessica Alba's none-too-breathtaking career. I don't know whether it's a real step forward for her acting - it's only a trailer, even if it's longer than usual - but I can say in no uncertain terms that it's the most liberated she's been on screen, and whatever squeaky clean image she portrayed before I saw Casey Affleck whip her bare ass and slap her around has been at least temporarily reevaluated.
Pajiba now writes that Alba will pair with Mabrouk el Mechri, director of Jcvd, for the graphic novel adaptation The Insiders. Over the summer, Alba bought the rights to the Belgian comic book series with Robert Rodriguez, who is set to produce for his Sin City and Machete co-star. Alba will play an action heroine, »

Exclusive Interview Fantastic Mr Fox
25 November 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
Huzzah! An interview! You're old friend The Dude isn't afforded the opportunity to conduct a lot of interviews. Mostly because whenever I do, I ask bizarre questions, such as the time when I asked Jessica Alba for her fries, or the time I tried to ask Chris Evans for his cheese platter. (My ultimate goal is to get all members of the Fantastic Four to give me food stuffs, and speak honestly about it). However, when the chance presents itself to interview, I will gladly take it, then do something strange with it.
Wes Anderson was the gracious victim kind enough to grant me a one-on-one interview with him this time around. We were supposed to discuss Fantastic Mr. Fox. These are the questions I asked him instead. Seriously.
To reiterate, those are seriously the questions I asked. (The dubbing was to give the Eagle a more noble voice). And »
Silver Surfer spin-off in doubt, says writer
25 November 2009 1:10 PM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Writer J. Michael Straczynski has given an update on the Silver Surfer spin-off he penned for 20th Century Fox.
The film would focus on the cosmic-powered being who was introduced in the second Fantastic Four film. Straczynski, the creator and showrunner of Babylon 5, seemed the ideal person to do it.
There's been no movement on the film for some time, apart from Doug Jones saying he was under contract to reprise the role.
Straczynski now tells Collider the project seems to be on hold at present: "What happened was when Fantastic Four 2 didn't do as well as they hoped it would do, it caused them (Fox) to call into question a Silver Surfer movie.
"The script that I wrote picked up right where Fantastic Four 2 left off. So if they do a Silver Surfer film down the road, it'll have to be its own separate [thing]."

Silver Surfer Movie (Sort of) Happening [Updated]
25 November 2009 4:42 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
[Update: Silver Surfer isn't as dead as first reported. See post for details.]
The last significant update we heard on the proposed Silver Surfer movie was last summer when director Alex Proyas said he’s definitely not working on the project, emphasizing that he’d never work with Fox studios again.
Since then, we have found out that Fox is pushing forward with the Fantastic Four reboot and that it would feature an entirely new cast. What does that mean for the Silver Surfer spin-off many were hoping for? Well, it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.
Writer J. Michael Straczynski recently spoke with Collider last week and touched on the subject, saying that the not-so-hot reception to Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer made the studio put plans for the Silver Surfer character on hold.
Straczynski’s script has been done for a while and is in the hands of Fox, however it’s tied into the last Fantastic Four movie »

Straczynski And Sand Update Us On Silver Surfer, Red Star
24 November 2009 8:44 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
From World War II stories to zombie apocalypses (apocolypsi?), the Ninja Assassin screenwriting team of J. Michael Straczynski and Matthew Sand told Collider recently that they are going to show up in pretty much every opening credit sequence you're going to see between now and 2012. What we may not see come to come to fruition, however, is the not-so-hotly anticipated Silver Surfer film, which seems to have been tossed into the gutter after Fantastic Four 2: Electric Boogaloo fizzled at the box office. Straczynski.s script is kicking around but hopes are not high despite rumors of a Fantastic Four reboot. Hey, if there can be two Hulk movies made within five years of one another, why can.t the Fantastic Four get their second chance, eh? Regardless, if Fox doesn.t keep using the property the rights will revert back to Disney, who I.m sure you remember recently »

J. Michael Straczynski Says 'Silver Surfer' Script Stalled, Reveals Story Details
24 November 2009 8:22 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
“Babylon 5” creator and noted comic scribe J. Michael Straczynski said his “Silver Surfer” script is in limbo at Fox thanks to the lukewarm response received by “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.”
“What happened was when ‘FF2’ didn’t do as well as they hoped it would do, it caused them to call into question a ‘Silver Surfer’ movie,” noted Straczynski in an interview with Collider during last weekend’s “Ninja Assassin” press junket. “The script that I wrote picked up right where ‘FF2’ left off. So if they do a ‘Silver Surfer’ film down the road, it’ll have to be its own separate things.”
Straczynski added, “It was definitely adult fare. I wanted to tell the origin of the Surfer and get into that whole thing.”
Last month, actor Doug Jones (“Hellboy”) expressed his desire to reprise his role as the Silver Surfer even though the »
