Movie Rumors (Page 4)

As previously reported, Matthew McConaughey was in the running to portray Captain America in the upcoming movie based on that Marvel super hero.

Now, new rumors are coming in - courtesy of Latino Review - that float the possibility of Leonardo DiCaprio in the role of this well-known avenger of justice.

Can you picture the Titantic actor as Captain America?

Aside from DiCaprio, Brad Pitt's name has been floated around to fill the iconic role of Captain America.

If the women can do it, so can the men.

Executive Producer Mark Wahlberg was recently asked about the future of Entourage and said:

"We're doing Season 5 right now. We're hoping for maybe three [or] four more seasons, and then maybe a film or two. Obviously the [Sex and the City movie] success has opened up a window of opportunity there."

Would you go see an Entourage movie?

With The Hobbit now confirmed as coming to the big screen, one of the most pressing questions in the movie world is:

Who will play Bilbo Baggins?

According to a source at British newspaper The Daily Express: "A number of names have been doing the rounds, including Daniel Radcliffe and Jack Black, but James MCAvoy is the one the film's bosses really want. They're expected to have talks soon, so hopefully it could be confirmed in the not too distant future."

McAvoy seems like a solid choice, but perhaps we should take this source's information with the proverbial grain of salt. After all: Jack Black is really being considered?!?

With Spider-Man 4 and 5 rumored to be filming simultaneously, yet without Tobey Maguire having signed up yet to weave any webs of justice, Latino Review asks:

Might Maguire be out of the franchise? And, if so, who could replace him in the title role?

Here are possibilities the aforementioned publication says it's heard as considerations:

PATRICK FUGIT

MICHAEL  ANGARANO

Neither is a huge name, but neither was Maguire when he first donned the Spider-Man tights. What do you think of these choices for the role?

Robert Downey Jr. is seeing his career take off thanks to Iron Man. And, according to the Chicago Sun Times, though, his next film project might be centered around an iron man of a different kind.

Rumors are circulating that the actor may sign on to play Hugh Hefner the Playboy founder's big-screen biopic.

It's not a done deal yet, but sources say Hefner has approved of Downey to play him in the movie, which has the apt working title of Playboy.

There's no word on when the cameras might actually begin rolling on the movie, but it could happen as soon as next summer, depending on Downey's Iron Man 2 filming and the finalization of the Hefner script.

Nothing is definitive yet, but it appears that movie viewers could see Spider-Man 4 in theaters within the next three years. However, director Sam Raimi and stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst have not officially signed on to the project yet.

According to IESB, Marvel's vice chairman Peter Cuneo told the press during a conference call last week that the future of Spider-Man 4 is "up to Sony" with the most likely release date for the film being in either 2010 or 2011.

Cuneo added that Sony hopes to make Spider-Man 4 "within a reasonable timeframe" and that it "may be looking at some issues with the cast and so on, I think they have to make some decisions."

That's for sure. Would they really film the movie without Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst?

As talk of numerous follow-ups dominate Hollywood - from Jurassic Park 4 to S. Darko - Jack Black has confirmed he may be involved in a future sequel.

From The Cannes Film Festival, the comedian said there's already a script written for School of Rock 2. Moreover, he's anxious to return to the role of music teacher Dewey Finn, even though nothing is signed just yet.

"In a few weeks we have to decide if we go through with the project or not," Black said.

Would you go see School of Rock 2?

Jay Roach is a producer/director with a pair of comedic aces up your sleeve: Austin Powers 4 and Little Fockers. Will these follow-up films be made?

"I know [Mike Myers is] thinking about it," Roach said when asked about a new Austin Powers movie. "Which is something of a move in a direction."

As for rumors that Gisele Bundchen might end up in the film? Roach has a message for fans: slow down.

"There isn't a script like that or anything yet," Roach cautioned. "But it's something, that [is still alive]... he's got other stuff to do too, and that one's completely driven by Mike. If he wants to do it, I'll definitely want to be involved. But I don't know yet when that's gonna happen."

A similar theme accompanies a sequel to Meet the Fockers.

"The way we go after these is when we have a story that can make it earn itself back," Roach told MTV. "Sequels shouldn't always be automatic; there's a certain amount of pressure if something works, to have it work twice. But that doesn't always mean it will work three times."

As for the film, which would reportedly focus on parenthood and be called Little Fockers, the director continued:

"We're just trying to find the right story that makes it worth doing again. We always talk about ideas for it, and it would be a great group of people to get back together, for sure."

According to Cinematical, Spider-Man fans need to listen up:

An inside movie source says James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) has turned in a working draft of Spider-Man 4 to the studio. However, according to the insider, "his story arc has encompassed two films, making Spider-Man 5 shootable at the same time. The studio saw dollar signs and is in the process of reworking his deal to snatch up the story arc."

This sounds exciting, but would mega stars such as Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire really commit themselves to one franchise for so long a period of time? It seems unlikely.

We'll keep you posted.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hasn't even hit movie theaters yet. But franchise creator George Lucas is still peering into the future.

He spoke with Roger Friedman of Fox News at the Cannes Film Festival and said:

"I haven't even told Steven or Harrison this But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out."

Will we see these actors reunited in Indiana Jones 5?

Lucas continued:

"And it's not like Harrison is even old. I mean, he's 65 and he did everything in this movie. The old chemistry is there, and it's not like he's an old man. He's incredibly agile; he looks even better than he did 20 years ago, if you ask me."

As for the early, mixed reviews for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, let's just say the director is far from worried.

"This movie is the exact same experience as the other three were. The difference is, the novelty of discovery is gone. I get worried when I hear fans say they're expecting something different that will change their lives. This is 'Indiana Jones' just as you remember him."
