MOVIE NEWS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TIME-TRAVEL
Anna Faris (Scary Movie) (right) is set to star in this time-travel comedy, alongside British actors Chris O'Dowd, Marc Wootan and Dean Lennox Kelly.
'The Hollywood Reporter' says Gareth Carrivick is directing the movie, which will be a 'Picturehouse' release in association with 'BBC Films' and 'HBO Films'.
The Jamie Mathieson script follows three social outcasts (two geeks and a cynic) as they attempt to navigate a time-travel conundrum in the middle of a British pub. Faris plays a girl from the future that sets the adventure in motion.

THE HOBBIT
'MyMovies.net' caught up with Elijah Wood (Frodo in Lord of the Rings) and asked him about his thoughts on the wrangling behind The Hobbit.
Wood: "If [Peter] ultimately doesn't come back because of what 'New Line' has done I think it would be a great tragedy."
"I think it's ultimately quite foolish for 'New Line' to move forward assuming they can create an equally wonderful film without Peter... and I think for that for fans that's tragic. For a long time I never kind of imagined that these movies would ever be made, so if they do get made I think they should be made by Peter."
In related news, unconfirmed rumours suggest 'New Line' have courted Sam Raimi (Spider-Man) to tackle The Hobbit.

STARSHIP TROOPERS III
'Moviehole' confirm that a third Starship Troopers movie is on the way, again starring original star Casper Van Dien.
The original writer, Ed Neumeier (RoboCop) is also back, saying: "-Looks like - fingers crossed -- 'Sony' is moving forward."
"Plans are afoot to shoot next year. Casper Van Dien will be back as Colonel John Rico. There'll be a new bug or two. Also draft riots. Religion makes a comeback. And the Federation has a new weapon."
Neumeier will also direct.
