The Oscar winner speaks of a "Conspicuous Decoupling."  Actors leaving a film is not common, so when it happens it attracts a bit of attention. Such was the situation this week when we learned that Colin Firth had decided to leave the CGI/live-action Paddington . The actor who recently appeared in The Railway Man was supposed to voice the loveable British bear who's rather polite but terribly clumsy. However, in a statement released last week, Firth said the following: "After a period of denial, we’ve (the studio and Firth) chosen ‘conscious uncoupling,’” Again, it's not common to see actors leave roles after they've been announced - last year, Scarlett Johansson famously replaced Samantha Morton as the voice of the AI program in Spike Jonze’s Oscar-winning Her . More recently, Robert Downey Jr. was supposed to voice the genius dog in the animated Mr. Peabody & Sherman , but was replaced by Muppets Most Wanted 's Ty Burrell. Firt

We've got the rundown that Batman will return with a solo project. With the first Batman/Superman film given a title earlier this month , DC and Warner Bros surprised many people when an outlet leaked what appeared to be a very ambitious schedule of superhero films lasting through 2018. Films like a Flash/Green Lantern team up and a Shazam origin story are planned to join the ranks of pre-planned films like Sandman. News also broke recently of Jason Momoa signing on to play Aquaman , who could appear in Dawn of Justice. For many, the lack of a standalone Batman film wasn't surprising, as CHristopher Nolan's Batman series is arguably the best interpretation of the Caped Crusader. But don't be so sure that DC/WB think so. According to Latino Review, the companies are planning another film with a 2019 release, with the working title of The Batman . On paper, this announcement seems to make sense, as Batman actor Ben Affleck will write, direct, and star in his

Check out the surprising director announcement...and no, it's not JJ Abrams. For awhile now, we've known that Star Trek reboot-er JJ Abrams was in charge of bringing the next films to theaters. Under his leadership, we've seen images of the cast and tantilizing set pieces . But it was always assumed that he would be directing Episodes 7-9. Not so. According to multiple sources including Deadline, it's been announced that writer and director Rian Johnson (Looper) will not only be taking over as director AND writer for Episode 8. There's also rumors spreading that Johnson will be doing the same with Episode 9. While TheWrap is known for their accuracy, we're not ready to call that deal done yet. He has been plugged to pen the final installment, but it's the directorial duties that have yet to be finalized. This would place Johnson at the head of one of the most iconic film series in history, with Lawrence Kasdan (rumored to be in charge on the sp
