The Weekend Box Office results:

1. Snow White and the Huntsman
2. MIB 3
3. Marvel's The Avengers
4. Battleship
5. The Dictator

The Movie news for the week:

• During an interview with The Telegraph, Simon Pegg talks about Star Trek 2 and what to expect from his upcoming film The World’s End. He states that Benedict Cumberbatch's character in Star Trek 2 is not Khan! He also talks about his film The World’s End being about revolution and a little different then Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead.
• James Ward Bykrit and Alex Manugian, the guys that did Rango, are working on a Fraggle Rock movie.After 7 years of many people trying to attempt the movie, there seems to be actual progress. If you happen to not know what Fraggle Rock is then you are probably to young to know anything.  Fraggle Rock was a tv show about happy-go-lucky, colorful, cave-dwelling creatures with neighbors that include tiny green construction workers called Doozers and unfriendly, giant furry monsters known as Gorgs. The series came from  Jim Henson, so naturally they are all puppets. My only question is will it be with puppets or CGI?
• Here are some recent movie release dates that have been announced:
• Independence Day 3D and Lone Ranger will be released on July 3rd, 2013
• Thor 2 is to be released on November 8th, 2013
• Robopocalypse is to be released on April 25th, 2014
• Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (Sequel to Rise of the Planet of th Apes)  is to be released on  May 23rd, 2014
• X-Men: First Class 2 is to be released on  July 18th, 2014
• Some recent surprising news has been released about The Dark Knight Rises. David S. Goyer, co-writer of the Batman trilogy, has said that Warner Brothers had plans to add The Riddler to The Dark Knight Rises as the Villian. They also had a specific actor in mind to play him. They wanted  Leonardo DiCaprio to play The Riddler. I wonder how he would have been in that role. Also news is out that The Dark Knight Rises will be 2 hours and 45 minutes, which is 12 minutes longer then The Dark Knight.
• Guy Ritchie, the directer of the famous Sherlock Holmes films, has been recruited to direct an adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. After his success of the Sherlock franchise, why would he not try and do it. They are trying to shot for something in the PG-13 range to catch the eyes of teens and twenty-something, just like Guy Ritchie did with the Sherlock Holmes films. This could be good.
• The Production still from Iron Man 3 has been released:   
  Just like they did for Iron Man 2, it shows the Hall of Armor.
  Here is some information on the characters of the film:
• Ben Kingsley is playing a villain role that is rumored to be The Mandarin (a background mastermind-type villain).
• Guy Pearce is playing Aldrich Killian, a geneticist who creates a nanotech weapon that transforms humans into cyborgs.
• Andy Lau is playing a scientist who aids Tony Stark.
• Rebecca Hall is the frontrunner to play a former science colleague of Tony’s who works with nanotechnology.
• James Badge Dale and Ashley Hamilton will likely play henchman villains transformed into cyborgs (or some kind of tech-threat).
• An armor design has been spotted on set, which suggests that either The Iron Patriot or Detriot Steel will be in the film.
• Here is James Badge Dale in The Iron Patriot/Detriot Steel armor:
  
  If you didnt know,  The Iron Patriot/Detriot Steel was worn by  Norman Osborn who was the leader of The Dark Avengers in the Ultimate Spider-Man Comic Books.

What a crazy random happenstance!

The Television news for the week:

• A TV show for the movie Braveheart is in the works. It is planned to be a prequel to the blockbuster which stared crazy old Mel Gibson. The TV series will be about William Wallace before he was king focusing on his back story and the years he spent fighting to unify Scotland. So far there is no word if Mel Gibson is a part of it or what network it will be on.
• There has been some amazing news coming from The Walking Dead this week. The famed character, Michonne, from the comic books has made a revel in Sunday nights Season 2 finale. Danai Gurira is set to play her in Season 3. Michonne is defined as a meth-addict, sword swinging lawyer who brings her zombified boyfriend and best friend with her. Its has also been confirmed that  Merle, played by Michael Rooker, will be back in Season 3. No word yet if he will be in a hallucination or if he will be in the prison waiting for the group. We already know that David Morrissey is playing the Governor in Season 3. They will start filming for Season 3 in May and Season 3 will premiere this fall on AMC.
• Simon Pegg might be joining TNT's L.A. Noir as a regular guest star. There is no word yet on what his role will be since he is still in talks with TNT and Frank Darabont. Seems like a cool role for him since he will also be working on Star Trek 2 and MI:5. This will be his return to TV since he did Spaced back in 2001. Speaking of that, Spaced is on Netflix Instant streaming. If you like British comedy, then you will like Spaced.
• Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog 2 is going to start filming this summer. Joss Whedon has confirmed that they are planning to film the long awaited sequel to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.  Joss Whedon has said that he has a number of songs written and has the outline ready. There is no word yet on who will be back to reprise their roles.
• The first image of Stephen Amell in his Green Arrow costume for The CW's Green Arrow Pilot called Arrow has been released. Check it out below:
