SEED OF CHUCKY

'Creature Corner' has confirmed that Billy Boyd (Lord Of The Rings' Pippin, right), will re-team with his The Two Towers co-star Brad Dourif to void the offspring of murderous doll Chucky in the horror franchise.

Dourif himself returns to voice Chucky and Jennifer Tilly will also return as his girlfriend Tiffany. In the new film, Chucky and his bride have a new addition to the family, and Boyd will voice this "child". Legendarily weird director John Waters is also expected to have a small role in the film.

Child's Play creator Don Mancini is writing and directing the film, that begins shooting in Romania soon for a U.S release in October.

BATMAN BEGINS

The official synopsis for Batman 5 (now entitled Batman Begins) has been released by 'Warner Brothers':

"As a young boy, Bruce Wayne watched in horror as his millionaire parents were slain in front of him - a trauma that leads him to become obsessed with revenge. But the opportunity to avenge his parent's deaths is cruelly taken away from him by fate."

"Fleeing to the East, where he seeks counsel with the dangerous but honourable ninja cult leader known as Ra's Al-Ghul, Bruce returns to his now decaying Gotham City, which is overrun by organized crime and other dangerous individuals manipulating the system. Meanwhile, Bruce is slowly being swindled out of Wayne Industries, the company he inherited."

"The discovery of a cave under his mansion, along with a prototype armoured suit, leads him to assume a new persona, one which will strike fear into the hearts of men who do wrong; he becomes Batman!"

"In the new guise, and with the help of rising cop Jim Gordon, Batman sets out to take down the various nefarious schemes in motion by individuals such as mafia don Falcone, the twisted doctor/drug dealer Jonathan 'The Scarecrow' Crane, and a mysterious third party that is quite familiar with Wayne and waiting to strike when the time is right."

THE FOUNTAIN

Writer-director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem For A Dream) suffered a blow last year when Brad Pitt dropped out of his $75 million sci-fi epic The Fountain. But now the project could be salvaged with Hugh Jackman (X-Men 2) in the lead, and a budget slashed to $35-40 million.

Originally the film followed its main character on a psychological journey set in the present, but with a plotline reaching centuries into both the past and the future. Among the themes explored are love, death and immortality.

PRINCESS OF MARS

Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids) is set to direct Edgar Rice Burroughs' science fiction classic Princess of Mars for 'Paramount Pictures'.

The movie is based on the first book in Burroughs' 11-book series John Carter Of Mars, which focused on John Carter, a Civil War officer from Virginia who is transported to Mars and finds himself a captive of the savage green men from Thark. Eventually, he becomes the greatest warrior of all time, marries the beautiful Dejah Thoris, raises a family and embarks on numerous adventures.

Mark Protosevich (The Cell) wrote the latest draft of the script that Rodriguez will work on after Sin City - a movie based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller.
