According to Variety, David Richard Ellis, who helmed the second Final Destination, will direct the horror-thriller. Its story kicks off when a teenager's premonition of a deadly racecar crash spares his life and those of a few lucky others. But death continues to stalk those who escaped it.

James Cameron Gives Avatar Update

jamescameronbig.jpg James Cameron gave Ain't It Cool News an update about his December 2009 3D sci-fi action-adventure Avatar.

The film stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Peter Mensah, Laz Alonso, Wes Studi, Stephen Lang and Matt Gerald.

Here's an excerpt from Cameron's interview:

I'm in New Zealand right now, working on effects, while Steve Quale shoots some second unit. We've worked together a lot (he did the engine room scenes on Titanic, plus co-directed Aliens of the Deep with me) and he's the only guy I trust to shoot stuff for me, especially in 3D.

We still have a little performance capture work to do with Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana in March, when we get her back from Star Trek (she's Uhura -- but of course you already knew that.) And we have a couple of days with Stephen Lang in April or May, to shoot his character's last scene, which is so technically difficult it will take us until then to figure out how to do it.

Avatar is scheduled for a May 22, 2009 release.

Toy Story 3 Spoilers: Plot Details Reveals

toy_story_31.jpg A recent article in The Wall Street Journal actually has a preview of Toy Story 3 in it...

In Pixar's coming movie Toy Story 3, Woody the cowboy and his toy-box friends are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, leaves for college.

Behind the scenes, Pixar's longtime videogame partner THQ Inc., which made the games based on the Walt Disney Co. studio's Ratatouille and Cars movies, has been having abandonment issues of its own.

Disney and its Pixar animation studio recently turned down a pitch from the Agoura Hills, Calif.-based publisher to create the game version of "Toy Story 3," opting instead to make it in-house.

With renewed zeal, traditional media companies have begun building their own videogame businesses again.

Movie Rumors: A Jumper Sequel on the Way?

With talk of a possible Cloverfield sequel getting movie goers, excited, Jumper director Doug Liman is chiming in with the possibility of a follow-up to his recent sci-fi hit.

When asked by collider.com if he has given any thought to a Jumper sequel, Liman said:

"I actually have a ton of ideas for the sequel because this is whole new arena for me and so my mind was in overdrive the whole time and most of the ideas I came up with we either could tease or just save it for a sequel and so it's…this power can be used to leave this planet, this power can be used ultimately to go back in time, this power can be used if you go and work for the government you'd be the ultimate Jason Bourne. "

Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson Dish on The Other Boleyn Girl

The Other Boleyn Girl comes out on February 29. In the meantime, the movie's two, young, beautiful leading ladies are popping up everywhere, doing publicity for the film.

Below are excerpts of an interview Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson gave to Comingsoon.net:

ComingSoon.net: Was there ever a choice about which one of you would play which Boleyn girl and what was the order of the casting?
Natalie Portman: I read the script and loved it and came on as Anne, and I was like, "I will only do it if Scarlett does it," because I have just loved her for so long, since we were kids. She's so true always and so good, and you just never get the chance to work with someone your own age that you so admire. This was such a great, great chance (to do that).

The Other Boleyn Girl Picture

CS: Do you think anyone under 20 really knows who Anne Boleyn is or knows this story?
Scarlett Johansson: I remember passing very briefly through this period of time in my own World History class, just because it was so vast. I remember us having World History I, World History II, and learning all of this in a period of two years, and that's before you hit U.S. History.

Unless you're studying it or majoring in European History or particularly interested in these monarchies, I think that it's not something that known as much to Americans. I remember learning, "Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived." That's what I learned about Henry VIII, but it was never really fully explained. We knew the rough edges of the history. So it's interesting. Hopefully the fact that Natalie and I are both involved with the project will maybe entice the younger generation and maybe spark their interest in the subject, because it is a fascinating time in history.

They say history repeats itself, so we'll see how that works out over time. A major part of why I joined the project was because Natalie was involved and was set to play Anne, and I was a huge fan of Natalie's for a long time. I always loved her choices and performances. And I'd never had the opportunity to work on such an even playing field with a peer, being able to play siblings. It was a great opportunity for both of us.

Will.i.am Added to Cast of Wolverine Movie

will-i-am-kestrel.jpg Another day, another big name added to the cast of X-men Origins: Wolverine.

Hip-hop producer/rapper Will.i.am is set to play Kestrel/John Wraith in the new film.

Kestrel was part of Team X along with Wolverine, Sabretooth, Maverick, Mastodon, and Silver Fox. This character is a powerful teleporter whose alter ego is named John Wraith. Similar to the other members of Team X, Kestrel was given an artificial age suppressant; he's likely much older than he looks.

What do you think of Will.i.am playing an X-Men? Is it a good casting choice?
