Cars Spin-Off Called "Planes" Cars may not have been Pixar’s biggest moneymaker when it was released in theaters, but the franchise has been a monster hit when it comes to merchandise, raking in several billion dollars in a relatively under-the-radar fashion. Next summer’s release of Cars 2 should boost that figure even further, but then again, kids may be in no rush to replace the Lightning McQueen plush toy they already bought back in 2006. How do you refresh the brand? With planes, of course.   Pixar is currently developing Planes as a semi-sequel and spinoff franchise to Cars, one meant to take advantage of the enormously lucrative direct-to-video market. It’s a format that Pixar has flirted with before Toy Story 2 was once meant to go direct to video, and Toy Story 3 was originally developed for DVD in a semi-unauthorized fashion by Disney before Pixar head John Lasseter took over the company — but with Planes, Pixar could leverage the Cars brand without diluti...

INCEPTION Review by Windy City Gal (@ rosenfie ) “ Inception ,” directed by Christopher Nolan (“The Dark Night”) and starring Leonardo DiCaprio (“Shutter Island), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (“500 Days of Summer) and Ellen Page (“Juno”) is a trippy, futuristic story where people have the ability to insert themselves into people’s dreams to extract or add information.

Mark Ruffalo To Change Into The Hulk For Avengers Film Imagine the Hollywood actor whom you'd least expect to play The Incredible Hulk in The Avengers , and maybe, just maybe, you'd come up with the name of Mark Ruffalo . He's always been an actor's actor and is getting critical raves in Focus Features' The Kids Are All Right which opened last weekend. But I've learned that he's now in late-stage discussions between Marvel and his brand-new agency United Talent to play this key member of The Avengers ensemble. Like Edward Norton , whom he'd be replacing, Ruffalo would bring real chops to the role. But, unlike Edward Norton, he wouldn't an on-set asshole. Meanwhile, let me get out of the way that Thor (May 6, 2011) and Captain America (July 22, 2011) will be in 3D. They were filmed in 2D but the plan has been for the visual effects to be rendered in 3D for Captain America while Thor will undergo more of a traditional conversion. Kevin Feige is...

No Termination By Jonathan Cyfer Terminate: coming to an end or capable of ending - Merriam-Webster Dictionary 25 years have elapsed between the dawning of Skynet in the original Terminator film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as everyone's favorite T-101 and Terminator Salvation starring Christian Bale as the once and future Messiah John Connor . The first three films revolved around a series of beings (one human and the rest terminators) being sent back in time to prevent John Connor from becoming the leader of the human resistance in the 21st century and destroying Skynet. Of course, Skynet's plan never worked. Even though Reese (in the original film) states that only he and the terminator were sent to the past before the time machine was destroyed, somehow, other time machines kept turning up and Skynet kept developing more advanced prototypes to send back in time to try and off Connor. After Reese bought the farm in the first film, the best the resistance could do w...

Disney To Make A Gargoyles Fim And Not The One Your Thinking Of Zoe Green is in final negotiations with the Mouse House to pen a screenplay based on an original idea developed by Lauren Shuler Donner, who will produce the live-action film for Disney. The project is not tied to " Gargoyles ," the popular animated TV series that Disney produced in the 1990s, or a comicbook that was later produced by series creator Greg Weisman. Instead, it centers around a world and mythology of the menacing stone statues that the studio was keen to explore, sources said. Both Disney and Shuler Donner were circling separate gargoyle projects and ultimately paired up and hired Green to tackle an idea hatched with Disney exec LouAnne Brickhouse, who is shepherding the project at the studio. Shuler Donner will produce through the Donners' Co., which she runs with husband Richard Donner. Project would fit in well with the high-profile projects Disney is looking to produce these days -- f...

Vader Banned By Lucas Films The man behind the mask of Vader will not be able to appear at any Lucasfilm's related event now or in the near future. He better book a flight to Comic-Con now since Celebration V is out of the picture. This is a statement released on Dave Prowse's website : Dave is not appearing at Celebration V It is with regret that I have been informed by my friends at C2 Ventures, Ben and Phillip, that I am not to be invited to C5 this year or any other Lucas Film associated events. After inquiring, the only thing I have been told is that I have "burnt too many bridges between Lucas Film and myself" - no other reason given. I have also been advised by the promoter of Paris Manga in September that LFL have requested no photo opportunities with the 501 Squadron, even though I am commander in chief of the 501. Sincere apologies to all my fans who were hoping to meet with me - I shall miss you too. As you will see from my events page I will b...

The Expendables Fan Made "Ballsy" Trailer This fan made trailer is Ballsy ! The trailer is pretty much telling you to be a man and be Ballsy and forget about the chick flicks out there. And they have their target set on  Julia Robert's new film Eat Pray Love , which opens up the same day as The Expendables, August 13th. Watch the trailer after the Jump.. Editing some of the more exciting footage from " The Expendables " to Andrew W.K.'s " I Get Wet " actually gives the whole enterprise a perverse twist. Then again, if you're into what "The Expendables" has to offer, do you need to be sold any further? This isn't "Rambo," which only had Stallone's biceps to appeal to audiences who ended up selecting "Meet the Spartans" as their top film choice in that film's debut weekend. This is an entire generation of older action stars finally coming together, and is that not what everyone's been waiting...

These are the first set photos from Lautner's upcoming film " Abduction " The film is being shot in Pittsburgh as we speak.

To be directed by John Singleton,  "Abduction"written by Shawn Christensen, centered on “a teen who has long felt disconnected from his parents, and figures out why, which unleashes a chain of violent events” the teen (Lautner) feels disconnected from his parents…the s...

Mission Impossible 4 To Be Reworked Brad Bird (The Incredibles and Ratatouille) is currently prepping to helm Paramount's Mission: Impossible IV for producer J.J. Abrams , with Tom Cruise starring. Now it seems that Paramount wants to rework the film and determine the budget of the film because of the lack luster performance of Tom Cruise's latest film Knight and Day. After more than 2 weeks of being in theaters Knight And Day has only made $61 million so far domestically, and rememebr the budget was around 120 million. I truly enjoyed the film and would recommend it to anyone. There's talk that Tom's character will mentor a young operative this time out if the pic proceeds. Please Leave A Comment- Source- Deadline

Edward Norton Address "The Hulk" Controversy And Not Reprising His Role What a few days it has been with the news breaking that Edward Norton would not be returning to reprise his role as The Hulk in the upcoming " Avengers " film. We got responses from the studio and from Norton's agent. But nothing from Norton until now. " The Incredible Hulk " star Edward Norton released a statement on his Facebook page about how he won't be involved with Marvel's upcoming "Avengers" movie. As most of you know, I don't like to talk much about the business of making movies because it means a lot to me to protect the audience's fullest enjoyment of the 'magic' that films can have. But I am so appreciative of the outpouring of support from fans of the Hulk and the Avengers that I feel it would be rude not to respond. So here goes: It seems it won't work out for me to continue playing Bruce Banner for Marvel in "The Aven...

Duct Tape To Save The iPhone 4 This has just reassured me not to even bother with the iPhone 4 until at least the second generation comes out. So whats next for Apple when it comes to fixing the problem with the phone? Consumer Reports has just finished up its lab tests on the iPhone 4, and the results do not reflect well on Apple. According to the publication, the iPhone 4 is more prone to signal-strength issues than other smartphones. What’s more, those issues are likely not related to faulty software, as Apple claims . After testing three iPhone 4 handsets purchased from three New York-area retailers, the magazine concluded signal strength is degraded when the device is held in a manner in which its external antennas are bridged. “There is a problem with its reception,” the publication explains. “When your finger or hand touches a spot on the phone’s lower left side–an easy thing, especially for lefties–the signal can significantly degrade enough to cause you to lose your ...

Exclusive Transformers 3 Set Photos By: Windy Our very own Tracy has got us some  Exclusive set photos from the upcoming Transformers 3 set. Head over to her site to view the rest of the pictures and her exclusive story. And stop by on Twitter and thank her for the Exclusive photos. As you may have seen me tweet earlier in the week, Chicago was given advance notice of street closures due to the filming of "Transformers 3" in the business district. So, I grabbed my camera and headed out. The streets where filming takes place are blocked off at least one block away on all sides and filming goes on for about a mile straight. Catching the actors (Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel) is tricky. There are no robots to be seen, but the cars that turn into Transformers are roaming the streets ( check out the picture below )! I'm still looking for Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee... Oh, and with some sleuth city maneuvering, I found the hidden trailer lot. Apparently LaS...
