MOVIE NEWS

FANTASTIC FOUR 2

'Fox' are scheduling the sequel to the underwhelming Fantastic Four (starring Jessica Alba, right) to premiere on 4 July 2006 - up against Michael Bay's Transformers.

BE KIND REWIND

Director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine) looks set to team-up with Jack Black for Be Kind Rewind, about Black's character becoming magnetized whilst sabotaging a power plant and erasing all the tapes at a buddies video store.

Director Bryan Singer was set to film a Logan's Run remake before Superman Returns took over his schedule, so now it seems Singer has two choices this summer: one, film Logan's Run and a Superman Returns sequel back-to-back, or two, concentrate on a Superman sequel much later on.

It's expected that Singer will favour a Superman sequel, meaning James McTiege (V For Vendetta) could start on Logan's Run this summer instead...
