Movie Rumors (Page 3)

Is Michael Cera ready for a three-hour tour?

Sherwood Schwartz and son Lloyd Schwartz have signed a deal to bring Gilligan’s Island to the big screen.

As if that's not exciting - or frightening - enough, the elder Schwartz told TV Guide that he wants the Superbad star to portray Gilligan and Beyonce Knowles to take on the role of Ginger.

Would Michael Cera wear Gilligan's white bucket hat with pride?

Might Jason Bourne be on the run again as soon as next summer?

In a new interview, producer Frank Marshall told Collider that the fourth Bourne movie might begin filming in the summer of 2009, with a possible release date planned for a year from then.

Marshall emphasized that there's no rush to complete the screenplay, which is being penned by George Nolfi; though the producer said a premise has been settled on.

It was previously revealed that this Jason Bourne installment would likely be based on one of Robert Ludlum's non-Bourne novels, The Parsifal Mosaic.

According to Great Britian's The Sun, Eddie Murphy will portray The Riddler in the next Batman movie.

And that's not the only rumor this newspaper is spreading. Here's a rundown of what it claims fans can look forward to in the follow-up to The Dark Knight:

• It will be released in 2010;
• It will be titled Gotham;
• Shia LaBeouf will star as Robin;
• The movie will end with Batman trapped inside Wayne Towers as it explodes.

We'll keep readers informed about all these developments, but there are a number of reasons why we don't believe any of the major ones:

1. Murphy has not starred in a hit film since The Nutty Professor II in 2000; he's no longer a bankable superstar worthy of this role.
2. Batman & Robin, with Chris O'Donnell in the latter role, is considered the worst movie - by far - in the franchise; no way they resurrect this sidekick character.
3. Murphy is pretty much confirmed for Beverly Hills Cop 4.

What do you think? Is there any chance Murphy takes on this role? And would you wanna see him as The Riddler?

Might an Oscar winner portray Batman's next nemesis?

According to E! Online columnist Ted Casablanca, Rachel Weisz is up for the role of Catwoman for the upcoming follow-up to The Dark Knight.

"Warners sources are leaking to us that Rachel Weisz is being considered for the Catwoman role," the report states.

Weisz starred in the first two installments of The Mummy, Definitely, Maybe and The Constant Gardener, for which she won an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress.

Do you think she'd make a believable Catwoman?

While Robert Downey Jr. received the bulk of the publicity for Tropic Thunder, his performance didn't stand out the most for many viewers.

Instead, Tom Cruise's character of Les Grossman was responsible for a majority of the best Tropic Thunder quotes.

That's why we were so excited to hear the actor tell E!'s Marc Malkin that there will be more Grossman to come.

"I’ve talked about doing different videos with the character," Cruise said. "I’ve started working with Ben [Stiller] on it, and we’ve kind of talked about different things to do. We were gonna do some in our free time, but we haven’t found the free time…yet."

Moreover, Cruie won't rule out a full-length film centered on this hilarious studio head:

"He’s a fun character. I gotta talk to Ben, but there could be more to do with that guy."

According to producer Frank Marshall, the next Jason Bourne adventure might be based on a Robert Ludlum's book that actually does NOT focus on that iconic character.

Here are highlights from an interview Marshall gave to ComingSoon.net:

Q: What's happening with "Bourne" now that you have access to the Robert Ludlum library?
Well, that's the good news. We now have access to all the Ludlum story ideas. We're going to make the fourth movie from them.
Q: And [Matt Damon has] signed on?
No, the only people signed on right now is George Nolfi, the writer, and me. We have to get a good script and then, hopefully, Matt will follow.

The producer proceeded to cite The Parsifal Mosiac as an option for the franchise.

This Ludlum novel is not a Bourne-based story; it deals with a U.S. spy who falls in love with another spy... who is then revealed to be a double agent just before her death.

While Eddie Murphy is yet to commit to it, a third installment of The Nutty Professor may be on the way.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, an open call is out to writers for their take on this crazy, overweight college professor,

The Nutty Professor earned $270 million, while the movie's follow-up, The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, earned $162 million worldwide.

Would you see The Nutty Professor 3?

Hey, if Ghostbusters 3 really is made, we'll believe any sequel rumor.

According to The New York Post, a Bull Durham sequel is being discussed.

A source told the newspaper tells us Kevin Costner recently met with director Ron Shelton to discuss reprising the role of catcher Crash Davis from the acclaimed 1988 baseball movie.

Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon would return as pitcher Nuke LaLoosh and baseball groupie Annie Savoy, who are now married and owners of a professional team that David manages.

What do you think? Would you see a Bull Durham sequel, or should they leave well enough alone?

Here come the Men in Black... again?

According to a source close to producer Walter F. Parkes, findimg time in Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith's schedule might be the only thing in the way of a third  movie.

‘'The challenge is getting the script right and finding a time when our busy stars are available," the insider said, according to Moviehole. "Everyone, including Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, wants to do another."

In 2005, Parkes said he'd be open to a third installment, if only to improve on Men in Black 2.

"There's been some conversations, just recently actually, because I don't think we did the best possible job on the second one. It would be great to pull the franchise back," he said three years ago.

Would you go see Men in Black 3?

It's been 16 years since audiences were treated to Under Siege 2.

Still, in a recent interview with MTV, Steven Seagal made it sound as though a third installment of this franchise isn't out of the question.

“I wouldn’t mind if it was about something more mystical or…maybe extraterrestrial in nature. Some real government top secrets instead of just the typical," Seagal said.

We're giddy just thinking about the possibility of Under Siege 3. Here's a clip of the interview with Seagal:
