The Movie news for this week:

• Here is the first Official picture of Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln:
  
  If you have not heard Steven Spielberg is making a Abraham Lincoln Biopic called Lincoln. The movie is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin’s best-seller “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln". The movie starts around the time where Lincoln realizes that the Emancipation Proclamation was simply a war powers act and will be struck down by lawyers after the Civil War. He then realizes that he needs to abolish slavery by constitutional measure.
• The Avengers News:
• Jeremy Renner didn't play the Hawkeye he signed on for. He was hoping to play the Hawkeye from the comic books. You know, the cocky, hot headed loud mouth with nothing to lose. I totally agree with him. That was the only thing that I did not like about The Avengers. Hopefully this will change in The Avengers 2.
• Joss Whedon has signed on to write and direct The Avengers 2. He has signed a 3 year deal with Marvel and has confirmed the release of The Avengers 2 to be in the Summer of 2015.
• Ben Affleck is talks to direct the Justice League movie. If this is true it could mean something good/bad for DC. He is a good director, but I am a little worried on how he will take the story. If you find the right script, stick to the source material, and find the right set of Actors/Actresses to play the roles of the Superheros then this could be a good movie.
• Donald Faison has signed on for Kick-Ass 2. He is set to play Doctor Gravity, a Physics Professor by day and a gravity pole wielding crime fighter by night. This is a good move for the movie since  Donald Faison already has a cult following since he was on Scrubs. Hopefully there will be some "Guy Love" between him an Kick-Ass.
• Heather Graham is back in The Hangover 3 to reprise her role as the stripper Jade. The Hangover: Part 3 is set to release on May 24, 2013.
