Future Film Round-up

- Robin Hood news: Scott Grimes (ER, Band of Brothers) will play Will Scarlett, and Thunder Bay’s own Kevin Durand (played the bad ass mercenary last season on Lost) will play Little John. The film will be release in May of 2010, ten years to the month that Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe put out Gladiator.
- Sony and Marvel have announced some release dates:
Iron Man 2: May 7th, 2010
Thor: May 20th, 2011
Captain America: July 22nd, 2011
Avengers: May 4th, 2012
- Speaking of Iron Man, Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson have both now officially been cast.
- Joe Wright (Atonement) will direct Indian Summer, about the dying days of British colonialism in India.
- Stone Cold Steve Austin has been cast in Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables
- Warner Bros. is making a new movie version of Stephen King’s novel It.
- Producer Dino De Laurentiis has announced that he is bringing MacGyver to the big screen.
- We’re still more than 3 months away from the release of Transformers 2, and Paramount has announced that Transformers 3 will be released on my 30th birthday, July 1st, 2011. If I’m 30, does that make me too old to be seeing Transformers movies?
- The Coen brothers will next be doing a remake of the John Wayne classic True Grit.
