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.

Would Vin Diesel hit a women?

As always, the Box Office Results from last weekend:

1. Think Like a Man
2. The Pirates! Band of Misfits
3. The Lucky One
4. The Hunger Games
5. The Five-Year Engagement

Now on to the Movie news for the week:

• The setting/backdrop for Anchorman 2 has been reveled. It will revolve around the 24-hour news cycle in the late 1970's. They will be writing the story for the next three months, so we are going to have to wait until then to get any more news. I don't know about you, but i'm excited about this.
• Jason Statham is no longer being considered for Fast 6, a.k.a. Fast and the Furious 6, and is already getting replaced. Gina Carano, Haywire, will be taking his place as an unannounced character. My guess is she will play the Diplomatic Security Service Agent Luke Hobbs’, Dwayne Johnson, of Europe. This is a weird turn since the gang and Gina Carano's character will most likely have to fight at some point during the movie. Would Vin Diesel or Paul Walker really hit a girl? I hope not!
• The final trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man will be playing before The Avengers. This makes sense since the newest trailer for The Dark Knight Rises will be premiering there too. I can't wait to see either trailer and movie, but i'm most excited for The Avengers opening this Friday!
• The Wolverine, a.k.a. Wolverine 2, is planning to be shot in Japan and Australia. Japan is where they will be shooting the practical footage and Australia is where they will be shooting the staged footage. They have also announced that they might be shooting the movie in 3D. I honestly hope not! (I have still not seen a movie in the new type of 3D.) Filming can not start though until Hugh Jackman finishes with filming Les Misérables. The movie is still in line for a summer 2013 release.
• Josh Trank has officially been confirmed by Sony that he will be directing the Fantastic Four reboot. This is good news, since Chronicle was such a huge success. I hope that he does the series and characters justice in this go around.
• Top Gun 2 will be done before Mission: Impossible 5. Tom Cruise is attached to both projects, but now we know which one he will be doing first. For Top Gun 2, Jerry Bruckheimer is producing, Tony Scott is directing, and Peter Craig is writing the script.
• Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2 will start production this summer, says Fox. Why? Why must they make another movie to an already good story. Do they really have to connect it to the Planet of the Apes series? I don't think so. It should serve as a stand alone movie! Why can't they just leave a good thing alone?
• The Extended trailer for Prometheus has been release. Check it out below:
  
  
• The trailer for This is 40 has been release. Check it out below:
  
  (I seriously didn't know that Paul Rudd is 43 years old.)
• Here are my predictions of what will happen in The Avengers. I have read nothing about the movie that will spoil it for me. I have read the basics on the characters and timeline of the movie. So here we go:
• Somebody is going to steal the cosmic cube.
• There is going to be a big fight between Loki and Hulk.
• One of the Avengers is going to die.
• The movie will be filled with action.
• Something is going to change with Iron Man
• There is going to be a cameo in the movie. I don't know by who.
• They will have the movie end so that other movies can be made.
  Thats what I think is going to happen. Now lets see if i'm right about any of it.

Slappa da bass!

As I always on the Monday blog, I post the Weekend Box Office Results:

1. Contraband
2. Beauty and the Beast (3D)
3. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
4. Joyful Noise
5. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Now onto the news for this week:

• J.J. Abrams had an interview this week to talk about Star Trek 2. In the interview he discussed how Star Trek 2 will be converted into 3D after the movie is complete. He says he did it this way to make have the look and feel of the first one. He also talks about people making fun of him for having the Lens Flares in the first film. In my opinion they made the film fell more like it was shot in Space. So far he is still doing the Lens Flares in the sequel.
• Tom Hardy, you know the soon to be super famous movie star, will play Al Capone in the upcoming crime drama 'Cicero'.  For those who know there Al Capone history know that  Cicero, Illinois is where he set up his main headquarters of operation. After seeing Tom Hardy in Bronson it is a great roll for him to play.
• Richard Schiff may be playing the Superman version of  Lucius Fox (from the recent Batman trilogy) in Superman: Man of Steel. He is set to play  Professor Emil Hamilton, but no word on what version he is going to play from the comic books. Like I said, he may be the  gadget supplier for Superman after Lex Luthor takes credit for his inventions and drives him insane.
• Bruce Almighty 2 is now in development. No word yet on the plot or anything, except Jim Carrey is back. Also Dumb & Dumber 2 may still happen after almost 20 years.
• Channing Tatum gets his butt kicked by Gina Carano in a 'Haywire' clip
• A clip from 'Red Tails', a movie about the Tuskegee program during WWII.
• Thor 2 Script Being changed by Robert Rodat, the screenwritter from  'Saving Private Ryan’. This could be good.
• Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 is getting a rewrite, i'm still wondering why it is being made. I have  Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 on my iTunes, but I still have not watched it.
• The Dark Knight Rises IMAX Tickets are already selling out, i'm still waiting to get some in my area.
• Steven Spielberg is not Directing Jurassic Park 4. Rumors say that it will open a new trilogy in the series.
• 'The Avenger' will be mostly from Captain America perspective. Makes sense to me, he just woke up in the future and doesn't know whats going on.
• Josh Trank, the Director of the upcoming movie Chronicle may be directing the Fantastic 4 Reboot.
• My Favorite Comedy Duo is getting back together to make another movie.  Paul Rudd and Jason Segel are back with  Judd Apatow for a 'Knocked Up'  spinoff. The movie is suppossed to be about Pete and Debbie (now close to their 40s) a few years after 'Knocked Up' and is called 'This is 40'. Megan Fox is also signed to star.
• Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Featurette
