According to Jumper, "Anywhere is Possible." But while that tagline is intriguing, it causes us to wonder: is a decent sci-fi movie possible?
Movie critics seem divided on the issue, as it relates to Jumper. Take a look below at their take on the Rachel Bilson/Samuel L. Jackson/Hayden Christensen film...
- All the state-of-the-art visual effects in the world can't compensate for spotty plotting and bland characters that prevent an intriguing premise from going the distance. -- The Hollywood Reporter
- A piece of idiotic sci-fi piffle called Jumper looks like $90 billion wasted on 90 minutes of popcorn junk. Even the butter is phony. -- The New York Observer
- Expect critics to make a lot of 'we wish we could have teleported right out of cinemas showing it' remarks... -- Sci Fi Movie Page
- Slick but extremely slim, "Jumper" seemingly attempts to heed the advice of its teleporting protagonist, who at one point suggests a trip to Rome that will "skip all the boring parts." -- Variety
Michael Bay has completed the script for Terminator 2.
"I've been writing Transformers 2," Bay said to Rotten Tomatoes. "We've got our characters all designed. I always write all my scripts, my movies anyway so at least I've got something to give the writers. It's like a template. We have a really good outline so I worked on that."
Bay says he has a a handful of new characters in store for the sequel.
"When you do your first movie, you break the back of it. Now we can have a lot more fun. We can actually make the depth of these characters more fun and a lot more interesting characters. To see actually what you can achieve visually, you never know. When you go into a movie, you never know visually. I think I've got a lot of fun, interesting, funny characters."
Transformers 2 is scheduled for a June 2009 release.
Sam Worthington will star alongside Christian Bale in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.
The Australian actor recently portrayed the lead in the James Cameron-directed Avatar, as that famous director reportedly recommended Worthington to Terminator Salvation director McG.
Worthington will play the role of Marcus, a central figure in a three-picture arc that begins after Skynet has destroyed much of humanity in a nuclear holocaust. A group of survivors led by John Connor (Bale) struggles to keep the machines from finishing the job.
Abigail Breslin will replace Elle Fanning - and Sofia Vassilieva is liklely to replace Dakota Fanning - the upcoming drama My Sister's Keeper.
Variety states Dakota Fanning balked at a request that she shave her head for the role; both sisters withdrew abruptly from the film.
Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine, Definitely, Maybe) will take over the role of a young girl who sues for emancipation from parents who conceived her as a genetic match so she could prolong the life of her ailing older sister. Vassilieva would play the older sister.
Cameron Diaz will portray the mother of the girls and Alec Baldwin the attorney who represents the child.
Isla Fisher is slowly becoming known as more than simply the better-looking half of her and Sacha Baron Cohen. The actress stars in the new romantic comedy, Definitely Maybe.
She discusses her career, and the role, below:
ComingSoon.net: Do you enjoy playing the sexy, funny woman in movies like this or Wedding Crashers? Would you like to eventually branch out and try more dramatic roles?
Isla Fisher: Yeah, I wanna keep working, but I want to play different types of characters. That's what really peaked my interest about this material when I read the script, that I wasn't playing the crazy, larger-than-life person. I was playing the heart of the movie in some ways⦠I don't wanna give away the ending, but it was a dramatic role essentially and that's why I enjoyed doing it.
CS: Is Definitely, Maybe a realistic movie [compared with other romantic comedies]?
Fisher: It depends on the romantic comedy. Some of the slick, Hollywood romantic comedies where you know in the first act who's gonna end up with who aren't realistic. A movie like this where all the women in the movie are just normal people who are flawed and there's no good or bad people can definitely be a realistic story.

Hank Azaria - best known for his multiple voices on The Simpsons - has signed on for two new feature projects: the Judd Apatow-produced Year One and Night at the Museum 2.
Azaria will play Abraham in Year One, a comedy set in biblical times. The film also stars Jack Black and Michael Cera. Harold Ramis will direct.
For Night at the Museum 2: Escape from the Smithsonian, Azaria will play an ancient Egyptian pharoah. He joins a cast that includes Ben Stiller and Amy Adams.
Eric Bana will be portraying the character of Nero in the upcoming Star Trek remake from J.J. Abrams. The actor recently talked about the role with Comingsoon.net...
You've said that your character Nero will only be making a cameo in the upcoming "Star Trek," but isn't he the main villain? What can you say about that?
Bana: Well, I guess he kind of is, but I guess what I mean is that in the context of the roles I usually do, the weight is firmly on other areas, you know what I mean? It's not one of those roles where you're carrying the movie, is what I'm saying.
I feel like I'm very much in a supporting role, not one of the main guys. So "cameo" is a way of saying I don't feel like, as I am in this film or some other films, where you're clearly carrying a lot of the film. It's a luxury to not be in that position. It's nice to be offered a part like that.

We should have become actors instead of movie critics.
Will Ferrell shows us why in this photo from the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. He gets to back down Heidi Klum in a promotional spot for his upcoming comedy, Semi-Pro:
Reportedly, High School Musical 3 is considering adding a Lohan to its cast. Fortunately, it's not the drunken, promiscuous oldest daughter.
But Ali Loahn is rumored to be up for a role in the upcoming feature film, the first in the High School Musical franchise to be released in theaters.
A source told Marc Malkin of E! that Lohan could be up for the role of a spoiled princess, a Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) in training, in the movie.
We have no further information at this time, except that a rep for Lohan confirmed Ali is up for a part: "She is auditioning for it."
Would you wanna see Ali Lohan in High School Musical 3?
