The Incredible Hulk Spoiler: Michael Kenneth Williams Ready to Fight!

Michael Kenneth Williams is best known for his role as Omar on HBO's acclaimed series The Wire. But this actor also plays a part in the upcoming Edward Norton vehicle, The Incredible Hulk.

Can he talk about his role in that comic book adaption?

"Not really, but I will say that I go toe-to-toe with the green guy himself. We're definitely face-to-face. I'll leave it at that," Williams said to IGN recently.

The Incredible Hulk stars Norton, who also wrote the film. Williams had the following to say about working with the star

The project reteams the studio with the duo behind the upcoming comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall: writer-director Nick Stoller and writer-star Jason Segel.

The movie, of course, will be a bawdy, couples comedy that charts the five-year engagement of a man (Segel) and his fiancee, following the ups and downs of their relationship.

"It's definitely an extension of our desire to explore the depth of human misery," Stoller said. "If Sarah Marshall (played by Kristen Bell) and Jason's character had stayed together, this might be the sequel."

The Movie Trailer for Step Brothers

Details on Jeepers Creeper 3

Director Victor Salva recently spoke to Moviehole.net about his plans for Jeepers Creeper 3. You know, because the first two weren't nearly enough...

The film, tentatively titled Jeepers Creeper 3: The Creeper Walks Among Us "includes a prologue in the Old West and might bring back several characters from the first two films 20 years later. The script and story will be big on scares and give us plenty more of the traditional Creeper creepiness, with a few more bits thrown in about what it might be and where it came from," said the director.

MGM had "suggested that we go direct to video with the third in the trilogy, but we hope that the exciting entity that the new MGM is becoming realizes that both Jeepers Creepers films set [then-] records for their Labor Day weekend box-office openings, before each went on to make over $100 million apiece on DVD.

I believe a theatrical release is critical to this kind of success on video. I don't think you can have one without the other, and it would be a shame not to be able to see what I have planned for Jeepers 3 up on the big screen."

Reel Movie Reviews: The Other Boleyn Girl

reel-reviews-logo412.jpg Is The Other Boleyn Girl historically accurate? Heck, is it even any good?

We know this new film stars a pair of beautiful actresses. The following movie critics give us a glimpse of what else we need to know about the film...

- Shot in high definition and filmed at many historic locations, the film somehow still lacks the splendor of an epic. -- The Hollywood Reporter

- Whatever its virtues, this is entirely too much melodrama to cram into a feature film. Characters are lost, too much happens off camera, and the whole compacted thing feels like Reader's Digest history. -- The Orlando Sentinel

Henry Tudor

- A sexy, good-looking political bodice-ripper with an almost flawless cast at the top of its game. -- Variety

- It's trapped between being a tense political procedural and a sensual sex drama and it doesn't have the guts to be either. -- Cinemablend.com
