The Man Who Killed Don Quixote
The Independent reports that Terry Gilliam's 'The Man who Killed Don Quixote' will be heading back before cameras early next year. Gilliam originally started shooting the film back in 2000 before a series of mishaps and disasters led to insurers pulling the plug (see the behind the scenes documentary 'Lost in La Mancha' for the full tale).
Gilliam was recently awarded rights to the script, and suggests shooting will begin as soon as star Johnny Depp has space in his schedule.

MST3K: Body Care and Grooming and 20th anniversary
We haven't run one of these for a while, but heres another classic MST3K to tide you over whilst we enjoy our holiday. There is a kind of news angle to this, in that MST3k's 20th anniversary is forthcoming, and a special box set including four classic episodes and a slew of new releases is on it's way. Aint it Cool News has an interview with some of the cast members and more detail's on the new set here and here.
Wolfman
Ouch. Rick Baker isnt known for speaking his mind, which makes this interview with Aint it Cool News all the more worrying, and suggests further problems with an already troubled production. CGI in werewolf movies just doesnt work, as anyone unfortunate to see Van Helsing and An American Werewolf in Paris will testify.
It's been coming up on 30 years since we had an entirely successful werewolf movie (although 1994's Wolf had some interesting ideas), and hopes were high for this. The trailer and early posters looked promising and we may yet be surprised, but there seems to be a bad feeling surrounding this film.

Watchmen
Theres not a great deal here so far (unless youve yet to see the trailer), but given the interesting stuff Warner tried with The Dark Knight, the new Watchmen website might be worth keeping an eye on.

Ghostbusters
Whilst it's not strictly a film, this upcoming video game is the closest to A Ghostbusters sequel we are likely to see, The game features the original cast providing voiceovers and the storyline, by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis iss based loosely on their abortive Ghostbusters 3 script.

Ghost Town
So-so trailer for Ricky Gervais' first starring cinema role. Gervais plays an unikeable dentist who after an operation goes wrong, wakes up with the ability to see the dead. The film seems looks like a comedic cross between the sixth sense and ghost, if that sort of thing appeals.
