"I'm so glad you asked that," joked Arnett, who has been questioned about the series' fate since it went off the air in 2006. "It's very refreshing. We are working on the movie right now, yeah... We don't have a completed script yet, but it's forthcoming and we're going to make the movie this year." When asked if he thought the cameras would actually roll before year's end, Arnett seemed resolute. "That's the plan," said the actor in earnest, before deadpanning, "We're hoping once Jason Bateman gets out of rehab. I think that we're going to start shooting. Oh, was I not supposed to...? Please don't air that." Please Leave A Comment- Source- comingsoon

Robert Downey Jr Will Not Be John Favreau's Cowboy The actor, who had been poised to reunite with "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau for the science-fiction western "Cowboys & Aliens," won't star in the film. The movie, sources s ay, will still move forward with Favreau. But Downey has fallen off the project, and studio DreamWorks is seeking a new hero to replace him. Production is tentatively set to begin this year for a planned release in summer 2011. Originally a serialized graphic novel, "Cowboys & Aliens" focuses on outer-space creatures who land in Arizona circa the mid-19th century intent on enslaving the local population -- until a group of cowboys and Apache Indians fight back.

Happy Birthday Little Sister I want to wish my little sister a Happy Birthday . We don't get to see each other very often due to the fact she doesn't live in California. So there is no way I can give her a hard time in person, so I thought I would embarrass her on the internet and show her how much I love her. Again. Happy Birthday!!

Simon Cowell Calls It Quits On American Idol Cowell will quit the top-rated show on television at the end of this season as part of his plan to focus on launching a new series, "The X-Factor." Fox has picked up "Factor" for the fall of 2011, when "Idol" is on hiatus. Cowell's decision to walk away from his estimated $36 million-per-season "Idol" gig could have major consequences for the show, which has declined in the ratings in recent years. Given that Cowell was the most expensive part of producing "Idol," however, Fox could end up with a more profitable show, even if ratings drop due to losing its most popular judge. Fox chairman Peter Rice and entertainment president Kevin Reilly officially announced the "Factor" pickup and Cowell's "Idol" departure today at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour in Pasadena. "In my opinion it's like having a good player on a good football te...

Metal Gear Solid Film Not Going To Happen Collider got an Exclusive Interview with Mike De Luca. A few days ago I spoke to De Luca for almost an hour about a variety of subjects, one of which was Metal Gear Solid. According to De Luca, the Metal Gear Solid movie is no longer happening. He explains why after the jump: The first thing you need to know before going any further is things change all the time in Hollywood. While De Luca told me, “I don’t think it’s going to move forward because I got the sense that there may not be enough of a coordinated will at this point on the side of certain parties to see a movie get made,” that doesn’t mean it’s dead forever. Perhaps if Prince of Persia does extremely well for Walt Disney, Sony and Konami might sit back down and try to get this movie made one more time. But for now, it isn’t happening. The way De Luca spoke, it seems like Sony tried extremely hard to get this project off the ground, but the video game makers might have been the c...

Diablo Cody Talks "Breathers" And "Sweet Valley High" As for Breathers: A Zombie's Lament the film is another horror-comedy written by Geoff LaTulippe based on a novel S.G. Browne in which Cody will produce. “We have a script and I am thrilled with it and hope we can go into production with it soon,” says Cody. “It’s a zombie love story. Zombies are so hot now, but I like to think it’s about the personal side of being a zombie and being ostracized.” Also on tap for Cody is an adaptation of the popular ‘80s teen novels SWEET VALLEY HIGH . “I just started writing it,” says Cody. “I’m very excited about that. It’s classic ‘80s series of books about these twins Elizabeth and Jessica and it’s going to be set in the ‘80s and true to the source material.” Please Leave A Comment- Source- IF

Blake Lively Nabs Role Of Carol Ferris In Green Lantern Blake Lively has nabbed the female lead opposite Ryan Reynolds in Warner Bros.' "Green Lantern." Lively will play Carol Ferris, who runs her father's aerospace company and hires cocky test pilot Hal Jordan (Reynolds), who later becomes the intergalactic policeman Green Lantern. In the comics, the romance became complicated when an alien race bestowed her the power of a crystal called the Star Sapphire. The search for the Martin Campbell-directed film's leading lady was almost as intense as the one for its title star. Keri Russell and Jennifer Garner were reportedly among those in the mix for the role. The role called for a slightly older actress but Lively, who stars in the CW's "Gossip Girl," impressed the studio and filmmakers with her audition. Warners was also impressed with her work in "The Town," its adaptation of the gritty Chuck Hogan novel directed by Ben Affleck now in post-p...

Harrison Ford Talks Indiana Jones Follow Up Film I will be the first to tell you that I am a huge Indiana Jones fan, but the last film was so bad. Nothing good about it at all. They should change the term jumping the shark to getting blown up in the fridge . I know that the movie was made for the next generation of film goers and not for the die hard but dam. It was a bad film. "I think it would be interesting to advance the understanding of the character, as we always have had that ambition throughout the series," Ford said of his hopes for a "Crystal Skull" follow-up. "I think it would be interesting to deepen the relationship between he and his son [Mutt, played by Shia LaBeouf] and play on that relationship. ... It's full of opportunity. The series is full of opportunity." It's been known for awhile now that series-runners Ford, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have been kicking around ideas for more Indy. Ford himself admitted that the ...

Invictus Movie Review By:Windy Windy , what more can we say here over at SandwichJohnFilms. But thank you and keep them coming. Make sure you go check out her site and let her know what a great job she is doing. Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. - William Ernest Henley- On February 11, 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years of incarceration. The above poem, Invictus, fueled his strength while imprisoned and helped provide him the courage to lead South Africa...
