Iron Man 2

Following Iron Mans $100 million opening weekend, Marvel studios have confirmed a sequel will hit cinemas in May 2010. Robert Downey Jr is already on board, although Jon Favreau has yet to formally confirm his return to the director's chair.

Whilst many fans would like to see the famous 'Demon in a Glass Bottle' storyline, in which Tony Stark slips into alcoholism, it's questionable whether Marvel would want to risk their family franchise by dealing with such a controversial subject.

Mission Impossible 4

Despite his highly public fall out with Paramount last year, Tom Cruise may be returning to the studio for a fourth Mission Impossible film.

Given the muted reception to 'Lions for Lambs' and the bad buz surrounding his forthcoming WWII drama Valkyrie, it looks like Cruise is returning to safer ground, although the third film didn't exactly set the world on fire.

Watchmen

Joblo.com has the latest entry in it's Watchmen video production journals. This entry deals with costume design, which is one of the more controversial aspects of the film. Fans have complained about the changes to the comic book designs, whilst others have complained about the rubbery, unrealistic look of the finished designs. I'm witholding judgment until we see final footage, particularly bearing in mind the amount of post-production work that is likely to be done on the look of the film.

The Happening

New trailer for M Night Shyamalan's 60's psychedelic freakout (not really) The Happening. This is the first Shyamalan film to supposedly carry an R rating, so it at least should carry more thrills than his last few efforts. Now if he would just hurry up and make an 'Unbreakable' sequel....

The Dark Knight


First image of two face. If accurate it just adds to previous concerns as to how the hell this film is going to get a pg-13 / 12 rating.
