MOVIE NEWS
SPIDER-MAN 3It now seems very likely that Venom will join Sandman as one of the villains in Spider-Man 3, after a teaser one-sheet poster was unveiled showing Spidey in a black costume (see right). For non-fans, Venom is the result of a symbiotic "suit" that consumes a rival reporter of Peter Parker's, transforming him into an "anti-Spider-Man" monster. In the comic-books, this symbiotic suit originally attaches itself to Peter Parker for awhile - hence Spidey's black costume. So now you know.
10,000 B.CDirector Roland Emmerich (Independence Day) will direct this movie about a caveman who embarks on a journey into dangerous territory to secure a place for his dying tribe. Steven Strait (Sky High) is set the play the heroic caveman, with Camilla Belle (When A Stranger Calls) as his love interest.
THE DIVEAnother project announced by James Cameron, that should follow Battle Angel Alita and Avatar. The Dive will be a tragic love story about two ocean divers. Laeta Kalogridis will pen the script.
PRIMEVALDominic Purcell (TV's Prison Break, right) is set to star in Primeval, a killer-crocodile thriller that will serve as the debut of veteran TV director Michael Katleman for 'Touchstone Pictures'. Orlando Jones (Evolution) will also star in the movie about a news producer, reporter and cameraman who are dispatched to South Africa to capture a legendary 25-foot crocodile known as Gustave. However, their quarry proves far more elusive and deadly than they anticipated, and their situation turns even more perilous when a feared warlord targets them for death.Purcell plays the producer, while Jones will portray the cameraman. Screenwriters John Brancato and Michael Ferris (Terminator 3) wrote the screenplay, which is inspired by a real man-eating crocodile legend in Africa.
FRED CLAUSEVince Vaughn is set to star in this comedy about Santa Claus's loser brother... |
