The Red Sea is going to part again soon, but this time in... an action movie?

20th Century Fox is digging up the Ten Commandments to bring back the "biblical epic" genre with a retelling of the classic Moses story, Variety reports.  This time, though, the Old Testament will meet with new school action aesthetics, as the studio plans to tell the story 300-style.

The script will be written by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage, who recently completed a scripted retelling of Herman Melville's Moby Dick for director Timur Bekmambetov at Universal. Moby Dick was also pitched as a 300-esque actioner. 

Congratulations, Zach Snyder! Thanks to you, kids all around the world are going to think everyone in the Old Testament was sexy, ripped and half-naked! Let's not even get started on the plethora of historical inaccuracies that are sure to be introdu- oh, right, it's the Bible. 

Drag Me to Hell director Sam Raimi recently told MTV that Robert Rodat, screenwriter of Saving Private Ryan and The Patriot, has been officially hired to pen the planned World of WarCraft film adaptation.

Raimi confirmed that the story will be an original effort set within the world of the popular role-playing game, not an adaptation of the book "Arthas: Rise of the Lich King", as was previously thought.

"We want to be really faithful to the game," Raimi said. "We would have our writer, Robert Rodat, really craft an original story within that world that feels like a 'World of WarCraft' adventure. Only obviously it's very different 'cause it's expanded and translated into the world of a motion picture."

Raimi is expected to tackle WarCraft once he's finished on Spider-Man 4.

Everyone who was alive back in 1996 remembers that Independence Day was the movie of the summer. It was one of the biggest blockbusters of all time, garnering over 800 million dollars worldwide.

With such a huge gross, one could almost hear the Hollywood machine go "cha-ching!" as it realized the franchise potential of such a film. But nothing happenend.

ID4 Producer/Director Roland Emmerich recently spoke to Latino Review while promoting his upcoming disaster epic, 2012. Upon being asked what the deal was with the long-rumored Independence Day sequel, Emmerich spilled these beans:

"Dean Devlin and I are still set to make a sequel likely because we've found some sort of idea and we approached FOX and FOX has not quite figured out how to incorporate Dean's and my deal, and Will's (Smith) deal. Will wants to do it in some sort of a package they can live with. So it's just been in negations now since forever, and naturally FOX says "Why don't you do it without Will Smith?" I said Will is essential for us, for this movie and actually for the audience too. And, so, it's in limbo and lately the studios are fighting. Like gross players, and Will is a gross player and is probably the only gross player right now who's worth his gross. So we'll see what happens. I would love to do it.."

Furthermore, it seems 20th Century Fox hasn't been all that honest about why the film hasn't happened yet. You can read more on the subject here.

Disney-Pixar has officially released the trailer for Toy Story 3! Check it out!

Opening in theaters on June 18, 2010, the Lee Unkrich-directed sequel features the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Estelle Harris, John Morris, Laurie Metcalf, R. Lee Ermey, Jodi Benson, Ned Beatty, Michael Keaton, Timothy Dalton, Jeff Garlin, Bonnie Hunt and Whoopi Goldberg.

Well, that's not surprising. What gay man doesn't like a hot, buff dude who can sing and dance to showtunes?

What is surprising is that this statement came on the heels of an announcement Singer made at the Pusan International Film Festival in South Korea. Apparently, Singer may have more X-Men films in him..

"I'm still looking to possibly returning to the 'X-Men' franchise. I've been talking to Fox about it," Singer told press at the festival. "I love Hugh Jackman. I love the cast."

One can only speculate as to what this means for Warner Bros.' Superman franchise, as Singer originally left X-Men for the Man of Steel, leaving Brett Ratner at the helm. Methinks X-Men might be a little butt-hurt about that.

All in all, X-Men has been a profitable franchise for 20th Century Fox, with each film grossing more than $150 million at the box office. Singer's return would be welcome, though, as the reviews for X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine show a steady decline from Singer's X2: X-Men United, which is clearly the strongest of the series.

Fox currently has plans for a Wolverine spinoff and a film centering around Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool character.

If you haven't already, take a glimpse at what critics are calling "one of the scariest movies ever made".

The trailer for Paranormal Activity, for your viewing pleasure:

Forgetting Sarah Marshall's Kristen Bell joins the cast of Screen Gems' musical drama Burlesque, The Hollywood Reporter tells us.

Bell will star opposite Christina Aguilera, who plays an ambitious small-town girl with a big-town voice who finds love and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club. Bell's character is Nikki, the loose-cannon lead dancer and main attraction at the club who spirals out of control when Aguilera's character suddenly gets the spotlight.

Is it just me or is that the plot of EVERY female-driven musical drama? Well, those movies don't have Cher or Stanley Tucci, who will both lend their talents to Burlesque. Cher will pay the nightclub owner and Tucci is to be the man who helps turn Aguilera from bumpkin to bombshell.

Shooting is scheduled to begin November 9th, with a release date targeted for Thanskgiving of 2010.

You may have heard the TV spots and trailers calling Paranormal Activity "one of the scariest movies of all time."

You may have heard your friends talking, or read about it on the internet. You may have even been lucky enough to see it if a theater near you is playing it.

Paranormal Activity is apparently this generation's Blair Witch Project, a micro-budget horror film that has hit a nerve and is building steam. It also helps that it's being distributed, albeit slowly, by Paramount Pictures.

In an age where torture porn like Saw and Hostel seem to be dominating the horror landscape, a return to old-school psychological terror seems welcome.

ShockTillYouDrop.com recently sat down with the film's director, Oren Peli to talk about the resounding success the film has had so far, as well as his future film plans. Check it out here!

Spider-Man 4 is a go. Director Sam-Raimi has told MTV that he hopes to begin filming the new sequel the first week of March, 2010.

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios had previously set the release date for the film to be on May 6, 2011, but until now, there had been no word on when production would commence.

"The production is starting to come together," Raimi told MTV, even though screenwriter Gary Ross is still hard at work on the script.

Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst have been confirmed to be on board for the new sequel, but as of yet, there is no word on additional cast. "None of the casting has really taken place, but we're starting to think about that now," added Raimi.
