Great Expectations

The latest Cinema Stew has a little sequel news...direction for a remake, a possible timetable for a prequel...a major movie has been abandoned by not one, but two studios--or has it... a star for a star, and some casting news for a potential summer '07 blockbuster:

The Sleuth remake I told you about last month is, apparently, a remake in name only--so says IGN-Filmforce

Christopher Nolan tells Sci-Fi Wire that Batman 2 Prep Is Easier

Earlier word all around the net was that the Halo Movie Got Dumped by Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox. But The Los Angeles Times now says Game Not Over for 'Halo' Movie. What's really going on?

Paul Davidson of Filmforce has the latest on Star Trek XI:

Star Trek XI -- the prequel film that could bring big changes to the franchise -- is still on the drawing board at the moment, but the movie could be given an official green light for production this winter.

According to The Trek Movie Report, the eleventh Trek motion picture is likely to get the nod from Paramount in December or January. "Although it hasn't been greenlit yet, it is as close as you get around here," the site's industry source told them. Paramount intends to make it one of their 2008 summer tentpole releases.

Additionally, producer [J.J.] Abrams and his team are already interviewing potential cast members. A first draft of the movie script is expected soon, and the story's main characters apparently include Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Scotty.

If all goes well, Trek XI could begin filming in the spring, with production lasting six months...

Beamed Up And Ready To Go...

On Oct 16th 2006, actor Bruce Willis was honored with a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame...TMZ.Com was there

Bruce Willis received the 2,321st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame... in front of a crowd of fans, friends and family.

Willis' ex-wife, Demi Moore, was in attendance along with her husband, Ashton Kutcher, and Willis and Moore's three daughters -- Scout, Rumer and Tallulah. "I used to come down here and look at these stars and I could never quite figure out what you're supposed to do to get one," Willis said. "And time has passed and now here I am doing this, and I'm still excited about it. I'm still excited to be an actor."
