Ghost in the Shell
Steven Spielberg has acquired the live action rights to popular Japanese anime film Ghost in the Shell, with plans to make the film in digital 3D. The original films story is almost impenetrable, and deals with complex philosophical questions about what it means to be human. It will be interesting to see whether the adaptation deals with these films, or goes down the more straightforward sci fi thriller route. The anime certainly features several action sequences that would look spectacular in live action 3D.
Jamie Moss, responsible for the recent Street Kings, will be handling the adaptation.

Austin Powers 4
Sources suggest that not only is a fourth Austin Powers film in the offing, the film is a lot further forward then previously thought, with the script completed and being sent out to potential actors. One such actress is supermodel Gisele Bundchen, who is being considered for the female lead, hence the gratuitous picture above .
I doubt the world is crying out for another Austin Powers, and this smacks of Mike Myers running to safe ground following the supposedly mixed reaction to test screenings of his forthcoming 'The Love Guru'. The new script is apparently told from Dr Evil's point of view, which may bring something to new to the proceedings.

The Hobbit
Over on the official blog for Hellboy 2, Guillermo Del Toro talked a little bit more about plans for the forthcoming Hobbit adaptation. Whilst Del Toro is nnot yet officially on board as director, it appears things are moving along:-
Whew -- Not yet. BUT there has been a lot of movement. And for the last few weeks there has been a lot of creative / cast / crew / visual talks and agreements and we have witnessed great progress in areas that I cannot disclose or that have already leaked from other sources.
I am dying to share news but I have to be patient and wait until the papers are done and my attachment is real. Nevertheless- a LOT of progress in defining the films, their cast and crew. And, may I add, we are all happily in synch about all creative aspects so far and all willing and eager to move forth.
I cannot say more but if all's well the time will come To talk of many things: Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax -- Of cabbages -- and kings --
May Luck be with us

Personally, I love Del Toro's films, particularly Pans Labyrinth. But I remain worried that The Hobbit will remain essentially Peter Jackson's show, and wonder how much creative control / influence Del Toro will have, rather than just being a director for hire. Those of you familiar with the making of 'Poltergeist' will know the problems this can lead to.

Three and Out
Trailer for the forthcoming British comedy 'Three and Out' starring Mackenzie Crook and Colm Meaney.
Whilst the posters make this film look absolutely terrible, the trailer is slightly more promising. The film has not been without controversy, with the General Secretary of ASLEF Union attacking the central idea as being in bad taste.

Giallo
Oscar winner Adrien Brody has joined the cast of Dario Argento's forthcoming English language thriller, Giallo. The film tells of an American flight attendant who teams with an Italian investigator to search for her missing sister who has been abducted by a serial killer known only as 'Yellow'. Brody will star alongside Emmanuelle Seigner and Elsa Pataky.
This sounds like a more mainstream effort from Argento, and the presence of Brody in the cast should at least guarantee more attention than he has received for his recent work.
