Venom to Be Unleashed in a Spin-Off?

We already know Spider-Man 4 is in the works.

But might Spider-Man 3 villain Venom be receiving his own spin-off film, as well?

According to IESB.net, Marvel is moving ahead with a new standalone movie based around the dastardly alien symbiote, played by Topher Grace in the last Spider-Man installment. The company has reportedly met with several "A-list writers" to pen a script.

In the comics, Cover Girl, a.k.a. Courtney Kreiger, was a former model who joined the military. IGN has learned that Cover Girl will be a German character in the film version, which is in keeping with the film's emphasis on bringing an international flavor to the former Real American Heroes.

The G.I. Joe cast thus far includes Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Marlon Wayans, Dennis Quaid, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rachel Nichols, Ray Park, Arnold Vosloo, David Murray, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Said Taghmaoui, and Byung-hun Lee.

Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey Dish on Fool's Gold

Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey worked together on one of our favorite chick flicks, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

Now, the duo returns in Fool's Gold. The actors recently talked to ComingSoon.net about the latest project...

ComingSoon.net: Can I ask about working together again? Were you a little cautious about doing it?
Kate Hudson: We had been. We had gotten quite a few opportunities to do it before and the things that kind of came, were sort of like, "Ahhh." We both sort of agreed…
Matthew McConaughey: That would be a repeat of "How to Lose a Guy" and don't want to do that and do that and then…

Hudson: This came. And it just felt like the relationship because it was kind of an extension of what worked with "How To Lose a Guy" but at the same time it was completely different â€" two totally different characters.
McConaughey: It sounded like a lot of fun.
Hudson: Yeah, and we did. We had a blast.

There Will Be Blood Quote Named Top Hollywood Catchphrase

There's one every year. That movie quote that captures the attention of people everywhere.

I see dead people. I bought you a delicious bass. 

We could go on and on. This year, USA Today is reporting that the catchphrase that's caught on most with Americans is courtesy of Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood: "I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!"

Relatively few people have seen the movie â€" this past weekend, it expanded to about 1,500 theaters and its gross so far is $21.1 million â€" but the dialogue has taken off nonetheless.

A "There Will Be Milkshakes" video, with scenes from the film playing to Kelis' song Milkshake, has recevoed more than 60,000 views on YouTube. Check it out:

What do you think? Can you think of more catchy movie quotes from the past year? 

Julian Schnabel on: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Awards and More

Julian Schnabel recently spoke with IGN.com about his amazing work on The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Here are excerpts from the chat with the director:

IGN: You won Best Director in Cannes and now you've been Oscar nominated. Do awards mean anything to you?
Schnabel: You know what? I think it just shows that people appreciate the movie. And it's not good enough to be snotty about that, saying awards don't mean anything. But I also think that this year there are so many good movies and so many good people that are being honoured, it's not a competitive feeling out there, it's a feeling of camaraderie.

Julian Schnabel

IGN: Why have so many great movies have come along at once?
Schnabel: I don't know whether it's because the world is in such dire need of something that people step up to the plate or what it is. It's Sean Penn, Tony Gilroy, Paul Thomas Anderson â€" who I think made a great movie â€" the Coen brothers and me... Usually I'm one of those guys who doesn't want to be in a club that would have me as a member, but I accept this year.

Emilio Estevez Set for Second Directorial Effort

16581.jpg Emilio Estevez will need a library card for his next movie.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Estevez is prepping The Public, a social drama set in a public library that he wrote and will direct as his follow-up to Bobby.

The story is loosely based on a Los Angeles Times op-ed piece written by Chip Ward, a retiring librarian in Salt Lake City, which discussed the epidemic issue of libraries becoming de facto shelters for the homeless and the mentally ill in light of many social program cuts.

Estevez was on the awards circuit with Bobby, a film that he said brought him "out of the wilderness," when he had a conversation with Harvey Weinstein, whose Weinstein Co. distributed that 2006 film with MGM.

"Harvey said, 'You have a voice and use it. And don't follow up 'Bobby' with something frivolous,' " Estevez said. "That stayed with me. And when I read this piece last April, I thought this could be it."
