--- Space Snaps - Some brave nerd snapped pictures of the footage they showed of Ridley Scott's Prometheus at Comic Con and those have made their way online, for now. You can see them at Dread Central, for now. There's Michael Fassbender to the left staring intently at a tiny thing, and there are equally grainy looks at Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron and Idris Elba in their costumes and lots of moody Alien looking sets, if you so desire. Gotta say I got a thrill seeing that moody world restaged, even if I don't have a whole lto of faith in Ridley Scott anymore. Great cast, at least.
--- Wiig's Boy Toy - Since I don't watch Glee I haven't had a reason to post any pictures of Glee star Darren Criss - and since I don't watch Glee I've never seen him act, ever - but here he is signing on to co-star in that Kristen Wiig dark comedy called Imogene that we spoke of a few weeks back so hello excuse. He's playing Kristen's love interest! Ha that is awesome. Cradle robber! Also at that same link is word that Annette Bening is playing Wiig's mother in the movie.
--- Havoc Back - Lucas Till, who was a bit block-of-woodish in X-Men Muppet Babies 0but still looked good in his sleeveless sweatshirt, is the latest name added to the cast of Park Chan-wook's English language debut called Stoker. Just the other day Jackie Weaver joined the cast that already included Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode.
--- Emo Bug - ComingSoon has an ultra his-res set of those pictures of Andrew Garfield & Co. in The Amazing Spider-Man that we've been looking at for a few weeks now. But no butt shot! That's the one want the hi-res of, dang it! Although we haven't seen that one there without the EW cover type all over it so that's welcome too.--- Bane On Bat - Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises is filming outside a lot so we're getting lots of pictures from the set, including lots of Tom Hardy in his Bane costume. Weird that we've seen no Anne Hathaway, isn't it? See some here and more here. This one's my favorite:

I'd been ignoring the announcements of who and what would be at San Diego's ComiCon this year just because it makes me die a little inside with every cool thing I hear I'm missing. So I didn't know they were showing anything from Prometheus, aka Ridley Scott's Alien-Something. At least Michael Fassbender's not there, from what I can tell - that would've been too much! Slash has word on the footage they showed, and also this first image from the movie:
No idea who's in the suit, so let's just pretend it's Fassy. Hi Fassy!

--- An Impressive Phallus - Back in May I posted a couple of pictures of James Franco from his movie about the gay poet Hart Crane, as well as the news that there'd be "a love scene" between him and Michael Shannon in it - well I guess the film screened in LA and word on it (via K212) is even more explicit:"It features graphic sex scenes of "Franco-as-Hart ebulliently performing fellatio on what appears to be an impressive phallus" and "ecstatic as he is topped during anal sex,"
Indeed! James Franco is dedicated. (To being awesome.) There's an interview about the film with James at that second link. The film will supposedly come out next year.
--- Kill Bots - Steven Spielberg's supposedly going to make a movie out of it, but the new book Robopocalypse
hadn't even been seen by the general public yet. Til now - it's out, and io9 says it is awesome. I just finished a book and need something to pick up and this sounds awfully perfect for June reading. Killer robots ho!

--- Mars Needs Men - JJ has a couple of shots of Colin Farrell looking like Colin Farrell (aka hot) in jeans and a t-shirt on the Canadian set of the Total Recall remake, which I guess means that movie's finally shooting. Huh.--- Little Person - Ian McShane is playing the head dwarf in Snow White and the Huntsman (that's the one with Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron, not the Julia Roberts one). The head dwarf is named Caesar, snooze - make him act all tough and regal and shit while pulling off a Dopey, dammit. That's acting.
--- Speaking of our current revisionist fairy tale craze, Guillermo Del Toro would love to make Maleficent, he says. He even busts out some dorky knowledge about the dragon's wings! God I love him. But the basic point stands that Guillermo Del Toro would love to make a million movies, but there is only one of him. So I won't hold my breath on that.
--- No Strangers 2 Strange - Bryan Bertino's successful 2008 horror film The Strangers has come up in my home a couple times these past weeks so I'm feeling inclined to hear what's up with its sequel; thankfully STYD got some news from Liv Tyler herself. Unfortunately it's not good news:"It's strange. I've read the script. It's been around the whole time, but I don't know how real it is," she said. "Bryan isn't directing it, I don't know what's happened with it. I didn't love the idea personally, but Bryan's such a good writer. He had another project that I was obsessed with and fell I love with and kept trying to convince them to not do 'The Strangers 2' but 'Let's go straight into this thing and it can be 'From the Makers of...' 'cause it was such a great, also simple story but absolutely terrifying. Someone else has that now and they've actually changed it quite a bit. Who knows? Hollywood is so confusing."
Indeed it is, Liv. Bertino's got nothing else lined up on IMDb either. WTF.
--- O Khaleesi - I still haven't gotten around to the Game of Thrones finale - tonight, tonight! - but you should check out Sean's recap of the episode alongside his friend Megan - Sena's read the books, she hasn't - to see a take on the first season from both perspectives. But only if you've seen the finale already!

--- The Lovers, The Dreamers - You can see a photograph of the poster for The Greatest Muppet Movie Made over at AICN, along with word that one of the original songs written for the film is already making grown men burst into tears. Hooray! November 23rd can't get here soon enough.--- Sob Story - Hooray for praise of Barbara Hershey's performance in Beaches at The Film Experience! Her work really was overshadowed by her lip injections at the time; cornball lady-hysteria aside, she's wonderful in the movie. It makes me short of breath just thinking about the scene where she collapses for the first time, so well does she sell the sickness.
--- The Kings Layer - I haven't watched last night's Game of Thrones yet but I hear there was lots of gratuitousness right up my alley to behold so I'm looking forward to it. For now, we can read this interview from this past Friday at PopWrap with the Kingslayer himself, Nicolaj Coster-Waldau.
--- I See A Samuel - Over at Stale Popcorn, Glenn takes a look at some movie called Road Train, and by "takes a look at" I means posts several pictures of its star Xavier Samuel, last seen by me in 2010's best horror movie The Loved Ones, looking mighty fine.--- Coop On Chris - Over at Low Resolution, Joe lists the eventual blockbusters still coming out this Summer in order of preference. Special shout-out to the never-stops-being-completely-hysterical shot of Dominic Cooper checking out Chris Evans' pecs in the Captain America trailer is given. Word.
--- Wood Man - It went through about thirty different actors hands, but Snow White and the Huntsman finally has its Huntsman - Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth will star opposite Kristen Stewart as SW and Charlize Theron as the Wicked Queen. I've avoided the Twilight movies like the plague so I don't necessarily dislike Kristen Stewart, but I'm still hoping with those stars attached that Hemsworth and Theron toss her out a window and end the film in each other's arms. Because that'd be HOT.
--- A New Riding - I guess if anybody could maybe make a coherent script for a remake of the terrific British TV trilogy Red Riding, I guess it could be the guy who wrote Zodiac, with its thousand characters and dangling strands. I say they rehire Andrew Garfield for it! And then make him walk around in his little underpants again.--- Just Josh - Josh Duhamel's signed on for a couple of movies, and this will be the last time you'll hear me mention either of them until the pictures of him with his clothes off in said movies arrive.
--- More Monsters - The original director Gareth Edwards will only produce, he's busy trying to make that Godzilla movie, but a sequel to last year's cost-nothing success Monsters is gonna get made. One of the other producers says they'll be making "much more of a straight genre picture" and "upping the ante," so basically they're planning on canceling out everything that made the first film unique. Mkay.
--- Canadian Idol - Ryan Gosling is becoming a director. I guess we should've seen this coming. He's set to star in and direct a remake of Taylor Hackford's 1980 film The Idolmaker, about the rock n' roll promoter Bob Marcucci, who discovered Frankie Avalon.
--- Pretty Vacuum - Kellan Lutz, Shiloh Fernandez, and Amber Heard are going to star in a movie together. I mean, I'm not sure if it'll be the sheer force of prettiness or the vacuum of the absence of acting skills that'll destroy the world when this happens, but it'll be one of those two. Perhaps the union?--- Two Tom Cats - Joel Edgerton - see his recent gratuitous post here - and Luke Evans, who is totally 100% straight or something, are both up for the role Ben Affleck almost took, Tom Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby.
--- And finally, have you seen the original ending to Alexander Payne's Election yet? (via Slash) It's terrible. Terrible! It might be the best example I've ever seen of test audiences working out for the best, because the ending they actually came up with for the finished film is about twenty-thousand times better than this.
