The trailer looks impressive: a darker sequel with the customary impressive effects and action set pieces. This one is looking like THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK of the trilogy, with Spidey battling villains 'Sandman', 'Hobgoblin' and a rumored 'Venom,' not to mention a black symbiote version of his costume.
The film opens May 4th, 2007.

From the makers of the controversial and highly popular video game GRAND THEFT AUTO comes BULLY, featuring a protagonist who has to content with a very bad day at school, facing bullies, jocks and the like.
From the New Bully Video Game Stirs Up Conflict article:
... clearly it's a game about bullying that's similar in style and action to Grand Theft Auto. But this game is like your worst high school nightmare, with everything from wedgies, mean girls, and teases, to nasty cheerleaders and catty cliques. As the protagonist, you need to get strong fast as you rise through the challenges of girls that hit; mean, spiteful teachers; and gang plots to make your life miserable.
There are those who think that a game that makes "play" out of bullying is despicable. But in fairness it should be pointed out that this is not a shoot 'em up game, and there are no guns or blood. Some experts believe it can be a healthy outlet for kids to get these sorts of fantasies out of their systems on the screen and not in the real world. On the other hand, the game shows that to survive the bully culture you need to become one.
Needless to say, this is one PS2 video game you wouldn't want your kids to see, but I have to admit it sounds
like a lot of guilty fun.

However, Timothy Olyphant (GO) switches sides now and is the main baddie in LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD. He will play a cyber terrorist who systematically attempts to demolish and seize control of the U.S.'s infrastructure.

Academy Award nominated actor Robert Downey Jr. (CHAPLIN) will suit up as as billionaire industrialist and inventor Tony Stark in Marvel Entertainment's future blockbuster IRON MAN. The film will begin principal photography in February and is set for a May 2008 release.
Robert Downey Jr. is an unexpected but excellent choice for the role. A talented actor, who has fought in the past against his own personal addiction demons, is a bold choice by Director Jon Favreau (ZATHURA). Downey will be seen next in David Fincher's serial killer drama ZODIAC.
I can't help but think that Oliver Stone or a director of that calibre would have been more suited to this kind of material, but let's hope Estevez delivered the goods. Advance word of mouth from tinseltown heavyweights such as David Poland and Jeffrey Wells, among others, has been mixed at best.
Here is the TRAILER.
The ROCKY BALBOA Trailer can be seen HERE.
Variety reports that official work on the movie version of the hit television series '24' has begun.
Josef Adalian writes that "After years of speculation, the clock's officially ticking down toward a "24" feature film. Twentieth Century Fox has closed a deal with series creators Robert Cochran and Joel Surnow, as well as showrunner Howard Gordon, to bring the Kiefer Sutherland real-time thriller to the bigscreen."
Dark Horizons elaborates:
"It's understood the work on the script will begin late this summer, just as production on the sixth season of the show gets under way. Once execs see the script and look at ratings for the first few episodes of season six, they'll be able to make a decision on greenlighting production of the film very early in 2007.Shooting will then take place next spring and summer during the hiatus between season six and seven. The plan is then to abandon the real-time conceit of the TV show which allows scribes much greater plot possibilities, most notably international travel. The film is not expected to be tied too heavily to the "24" mythology, allowing those who haven't watched the series to understand the movie's action".
After 10 years of being stuck in Hollywood development hell, DIE HARD 4 has finally discarded all its previous potential scenarios such as John McClane rescuing his kidnapped daughter in the Amazon, a space shuttle hijacking, terrorists taking over a nuclear silo (among others) and settled on a new premise.
Warning: DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING UNLESS YOU WANT MAJOR SPOILERS.
Dark Horizons reports that the new movie - titled LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD - will comprise of the following plot:
"Aint it Cool managed a first look at the script and describe the plot as terrorists intending to systematically demolish or seize our technological infrastructure via a three-day plan. These guys will gradually step up malfunctions starting with traffic control systems, working towards economic markets, and finally shutting down key utilities like power and water to send the US essentially into a modern Dark Ages.Like the previous Die Hard's though, an apparent terrorist plot is a smoke screen for the oldest motive in the book - greed. McClane's connection? His just released son, a cyber-thief imprisoned for stealing high security information, who's buddies are the ones behind the plot. Things go badly in their attempt to help the Government and the pair end up on the run".
HBO just keeps cranking out the best shows on television: SOPRANOS, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, DEADWOOD ... They've done it again with the brilliant historical drama ROME. I just viewed all 12 episodes of the DVD boxed set and I have to say the $100 million production delivers the goods: brutal violence, betrayal, graphic sex, political intrigue; all the excesses of ancient Rome laid at your doorstop.
ROME is set in 52 B.C. and highlights the power struggle between Julius Caesar (a masterful Ciaran Hinds) and Pompey Magnus (Kenneth Cranham) following Caesar's return from an eight year war with the Gauls. The two protagonists of the series are two soldiers, Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) a stoic by the book officer and his companion Titus Pollo (Ray Stevenson) a tough, violent but kind-hearted rogue - events are seen through their eyes; they serve as a catalyst to major events in the series.
The $100 million ROME is a production between HBO and the BBC; ROME is one of the largest co-production deals ever by the BBC for an American series, and marks the first series co-production of the two networks (HBO and the BBC previously partnered on the 2001 miniseries BAND OF BROTHERS which won six Emmy® Awards, including Outstanding Miniseries).
Whether you are a fan of historical and political dramas (i.e. I CLAUDIUS), or good old fashioned 'swords and sandals' epics like GLADIATOR pick this boxed set up.
