Brett Ratner To Direct Ben Stiller In "Tower Heist" A $50 million van Gogh masterpiece was swiped Saturday from a Cairo museum by thieves who took advantage of lax security, simply walked in and liberated a painting from its frame with a box cutter. In Hollywood, the planning and execution of a good heist is never that simple. After almost four years, Universal Pictures is aiming Tower Heist for a November production start in New York. Brett Ratner will direct. Ben Stiller stars as the overworked manager of a luxury building who, along with other staff, lost their pensions to a Bernie Madoff-like Wall Street crook. It so happens that the fraudster is being held under house arrest in the luxury penthouse apartment upstairs, and the manager and four cohorts figure a heist will make them whole. The film’s produced by Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer, and Kim Roth is executive producer. This heist has among its architects some of the town's top screenwriters: A

Maggie Q One Sexy Assassin Have you wanted to know who Maggie Q was after seeing those hot promos for her upcoming show on the CW called " Nikita ?" Sure you know the face (In 2006, she starred alongside Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible III . She played Zhen, the only female member of the IMF team. In 2007, she appeared in the Bruce Willis movie Live Free or Die Hard , the fourth film in the Die Hard series, and in Balls of Fury ) but this will be her first leading role.

Jessica Alba To Star In Spy Kids 4 I am sure your thinking what I am thinking another Spy Kids movie? Looks like Dimension Films is moving forward with a fourth installment of the Spy Kids franchise and Jessica Alba is in negotiations to star in Robert Rodriguez’ s “ Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World .” The Dimension movie is a reboot of sorts for the moneymaking franchise, which initially starred Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara as the kids of superspy parents ( Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino ). Rodriguez wrote and directed each installment. Vega and Sabara are no longer kids -- Vega is nearly 23 and recently engaged -- but Rodriguez wanted to continue the series. The new movie centers on Alba as a retired spy who has been reactivated. The actress, mother of a toddler in real life, will be playing the mother of a baby and two preteen stepchildren. The actors cast in the preteen roles will be the new Spy Kids. Other roles seeking to be filled include Alba’s husband, a

Black Widow Not Only Other Female Lead In Upcoming Avengers Film Joss Whedon , director of Marvel's most anticipated film The Avengers, shares a few of his plans for the superhero-ensemble flick with The Sunday Herald-Sun. Not only discussing if there were any specific story arcs from the comics used for the film, but Whedon also sheds light on Black Widow , who Scarlett Johansson introduced in Iron Man 2, and whether or not she'll be the only female assembling next summer.

X-Men: First Class Film To Be Set In The 60's While we’ve had a virtual avalanche of casting info for Matthew Vaughn’s latest outing, the prequel story X-Men: First Class , one element has always been noticeably absent: solid details on the film’s true setting and plot. But now producer Bryan Singer has called up Ain’t It Cool News to deliver some fresh intelligence. From this point on, we’d warn anyone reading that there may be mild spoilers ahead. According to Singer, this version of First Class will not be a direct adaptation of the comic book that bears the name. Instead, this will aim to foster the origin of Singer’s own first two X-Men films (and, to a lesser extent, Brett Ratner’s X-Men: The Last Stand). The story will be set in the 1960s, at a time when civil rights were a big issue and revolution was in the air. We’ll meet Professor Charles Xavier ( James McAvoy ) as a student at Oxford, and this younger take on the character will be neither bald nor in his cust

Jumper 2 To Be A Darker Film Are you ready for a " Jumper " sequel?  I thought that the first film did not live up to they hype I was expecting a lot more with Doug Liman directing the film. But it was well worth a rent for sure. Now it looks like there is talk about a sequel getting made. "We're talking about it right now actually," he said. Where could the story go? "Hopefully somewhere a little darker. I think there's a lot you can do with it. It was sort of set up in a way it's gonna be mother hunting son and possibly even maybe sister hunting brother. We're talking about it, trying to figure it out."  Early 2008 sci-fi release directed by Doug Liman ? Hayden Christensen stars as a young man who, thanks to a genetic hiccup, is gifted with the ability to teleport himself anywhere in an instant. Hunting Christensen is Samuel L. Jackson , who believes that only the Lord Almighty should be able to be everywhere at once. The movie wasn&

The deals are not yet closed. Warners grabbed rights to the book, then brought in Rudin and Paramount. It has not yet been determined which studio will take domestic or foreign.

"Eclipse" Director David Slade To Direct Wolverine 2 That it's come down to two directors vying to call the shots on Fox's sequel to Wolverine: Twilight: Eclipse director David Slade , and Robert Schwentke (Flightplan, The Time Traveler's Wife). Both men have been approved by the studio's brass, and though Jackman will ultimately be the one to make the call after meeting with each next week, a well-placed source inside the production insists, "It's going to be Slade." As for the plot, McQuarrie's last draft from January has us rejoining Logan in Japan, where we left him at the end of the first Origins movie. There, he begins a forbidden romance with a Japanese woman whose hand in marriage is, unfortunately, promised to another man. This being Hugh Jackman , of course, he doesn't take no for an answer. And, this being Japan, that doesn't go over so well. Soon enough, Logan must do battle with her furious father and samurai-sword-w
