Drive-by movie news: Wolverine, Star Trek, Harry Potter, The Hobbit and Twilight

April 23rd, 2009 by Dunc · 4 Comments

Speaking of lingering glances and weapon caressing...Much ado about Wolverine. May 1 brings us the next big X-Movie… Can it save the franchise after the hot mess that was X-Men: The Last Stand? Magneto’s celluloid life depends on it.

Still, despite the movie’s hell-raising early leak, buzz remains strong. (Besides, how hard can be be to go wrong with a big dumb spring franchise action movie? Don’t answer that.) Need a taste? Check out these character spots.

  • Daily Mail squees through Star Trek review. Well, I suppose someone has to be first. If you’re looking for for something a tad less exuberant, SciFi Wire talks to ILM’s Trek team about the film’s new/old Enterprise.

  • Deathly Hallows adaption will split at cliffhanger. The only surprise is that anyone would be surprised. In more exciting (and perhaps disturbing) news, the original cast will be playing their characters in the epilogue. And if you’re dying for pics, head over to Leaky where they have some shots from filming going down in London.
  • More shocking news of shockness. The Hobbit to be two movies. Well hey, that’s a lot of lingering glances and weapon-caressing to be contained in just one movie.
  • Perhaps shirtless men will make Twilight slightly more bearable. New Moon’s wolf pack takes it off for USA Today. In related news, David Slade (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night) will direct the adaption of the third book, Eclipse.

    And ballads. There better be a lot of Hobbit ballads.

    I will totally not complain about having some pretty in the next Twilight movie. :)

    I’m kind of glad that they dropped the bridge film. It’d be cool to see delToro play on his own in Middle Earth, but it’s probably better if they just dedicate the extra time to The Hobbit.

    If they are planning a third film to serve as the bridge… well, then I’d be more disappointing than glad. I’d much rather see delToro use his Hobbit-clout to get At the Mountains of Madness made.
