Drive-by movie news: Kilted men pandering soon to a theatre near you

Ladies and gentlemen, the Fanboys movie poster. Mmm… derivative! And not in the good way.

At least it’s more respectable than Twilight: Diana Gabaldon’s wildly popular time-travel romance series Outlander has been optioned by Essential Films, with Braveheart’s Randall Wallace on script. This is great news… For my mother!
I did not know this: Ewan McGregor is in The Da Vinci Code follow-up Angels & Demons. Is his Italian accent better than his American one?
On-again, off-again: Preacher is back on the big-screen menu. For now.
DO NOT WANT: An eight-hour Superman movie? Dude, no. Just no.

Saving Superman

There is injustice in this world. Most notably, there is the total state of disrepair of the house where Superman was created. So it is that a charity is born: The Siegel and Shuster Society.

Not only do they hope to raise funds to revive the home, but they also hope to become a group that encourages random acts of kindness.

So if you can’t scrape up enough dough to help restore the home, you can make Superman proud by doing something kind today.

Up, up and away!

Jerry Siegel’s heirs reclaim Superman rights

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that they are entitled to a part of the copyright on the character that Siegel co-created. Time Warner, the parent company of D.C. Comics, may owe the heirs for use of the character since 1999. The ruling, if upheld, will no doubt complicate matters for a Superman Returns sequel and Justice League film.

Watch for fan analysis at comic blogs The Beat and Newsarama.

Everything comes back around again

Does it really matter if a Jedi could beat Superman in a fight? I mean, really? Silly fanboys.

Movie News: Indy, Batman, Supes, Drew

Sean Connery ‘considering’ Indy IV. Speaking of sorta maybe Indy stuff, be warned that Indy rumor-ridden young actor Shia LaBeouf will be hosting this Saturday’s Saturday Night Live. Indiana Jones jokes are likely!

In other rumor news, could Orlando Bloom be considering a role in the sequel to Superman Returns? I’m not feeling it.

Harvey Dent is appearing in The Dark Knight but his alter ego Two-Face is less likely.

And enough about that – I both kind of want to see and yet dread the Nancy Drew movie, but here’s some pictures to get the preteens excited.

And lastly The Voyage of the Dawn Treader may have found a director. Don’t screw it up, Hollywood – it’s my favorite. (Irony!)

‘Action Comics’ indeed!

Say what you will about the Expanded Universe and its many flaws, but at least no one ever tried to mind-whammy a Skywalker into doing porn. (Fanfic writers: Sssshhh!)
