Mark Millar Talks Wanted 2 And Replacing Angelina Jolie MTV spoke to "Wanted" co-creator Mark Miller at the South By Southwest Film Festival and got some insight to an "Wanted 2" film. One thing we found out that if the film is made Angelina Jolie will not be in the film and its fraternity of assassins will move forward without her. "They killed off the most recognizable character, but I thought it was great to do that," Millar told MTV News. "It was so ballsy to kill off the one person you didn't expect to die." "What they're talking about is just moving on with the story and doing it properly," he said. "Just bringing in another cool character as this world opens up with all the different fraternities out there all across the world. This could change at any moment, but the last I heard two weeks ago, was that was the plan moving forward." With the first film diverging significantly from Millar's sour...

Zach Braff Turning In His "Scrubs" For Good Zach Braff the star of the TV show "Scrubs" has let the world know that the show is done for good. The show has been on for nine season and two networks will not be returning next year. Posting on Facebook, Braff wrote: "Many of you have asked, so here it is: it appears that 'New Scrubs,' 'Scrubs 2.0,' 'Scrubs with new kids,' 'Scrubbier,' 'Scrubs without JD' is no more. It was worth a try, but alas... it didn't work. zb" Now before writing the show off, an ABC rep says the network hasn't made its official decision yet. Given the show's weak ratings during this rebooted season, a return does seem pretty unlikely, though, especially given ABC's recent comedy success with its Wednesday block led by "Modern Family."  Please Leave A Comment- Source- THR

Popeye CG Film Headed Our Way To me the only film I want to see about Popeye is the film that starred Robin Williams (in his first film role) as Popeye and Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl. Popeye features hallmarks of director Robert Altman's style, including an ensemble cast, overlapping dialogue and cross-cutting to non-musical sequences during songs by Harry Nilsson. Sony is bringing an all-CGI "Popeye" to the big screen, with the iconic sailor man's muscles set to pop in 3D. Avi Arad, who teamed with Sony to turn Spider-Man into a powerhouse franchise, is producing. Scribe Mike Jones is in negotiations to adapt. "Scott called me and said, 'I have something for you,'" said Arad, who grew up watching Popeye shorts in movie houses in his native Israel. "I literally started singing the famous Popeye song (after securing the rights). What always blew me away is the level of the animation. It was so beautiful and unbelievably detailed." P...
