Spike Lee Has A "Nagasaki Deadline" Spike Lee is closing a deal to next direct Nagasaki Deadline , a thriller that will shoot on the East Coast next year. Alcon Entertainment will finance, and partners Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson will produce with Lightstorm Entertainment’s James Cameron , Jon Landau and Rae Sanchini. The film focuses on a troubled FBI agent and his desperate race to thwart two terrorist attacks planned to unfold on American soil. The fed goes beyond obvious suspects to focus on theories that the crime is tied to historical events, as he races against the clock. Given the recent Times Square terror scare, this is risky, hot-button stuff. Creatively, it returns Lee to the fast-paced thriller terrain he covered in Inside Man, which I think was Lee's best film in years. While he delivered a solid hit on budget with three stars--Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster and Clive Owen--studios hardly flooded him with followup offers. While Lee should be ...

It's more like, just don't make the same dumbass mistakes that we made for 10 years." As for what Cameron would like to see in a new, rebooted Spider-Man? (Remember that Cameron himself once wanted to adapt Spidey to the movies.) "I'd like to seem him reinvented in the same way that Batman got reinvented. ... That's very successful," he said.

Avatar Sequel Gossip Next Film May Venture Off Of Pandora Given Avatar’s strong showing at the box office for the past few weekends, and that James Cameron and Fox have invested considerable amounts of blood and money in the film, you can rest assured that we’re going to get a sequel (and most likely a third film to complete the trilogy). The only question now is what those sequels will be about. According to a recent LA Times Hero Complex interview, which occurred on Avatar’s opening night, Cameron is considering exploring the other moons surrounding the gas-giant planet Polyphemus, which Pandora orbits. This confirms an earlier rumor by Market Saw, and it gives us an idea about the increased scope of the Avatar universe. Cameron’s quote, as well as a few other sequel bits, after the break. And of course, spoilers for the ending of Avatar as well. In reference to the other moons around Polyphemus, Cameron said: We have some story ideas about how to branch out into other moons of Poly...
