The Toronto Film Festival has begun, and that means big stars in huge press conferences. Among them is Gerard Butler, who was fielding questions about his new flick, the Guy Ritchie caper RocknRolla.

Of course, he wasn't just answering questions about that film. Superhero Hype! asked if Butler has been updated on the rumors of a 300 follow-up. The talk is that the movie will get another chapter, although Zack Snyder hasn't specifically said whether it will be a prequel or a sequel. Both options have their merits, to be sure.

Butler, however, doesn't seem to be making reservations for another night dining in hell.

"I've heard some backroom chatter, but nothing more, so I don't know if it would be a sequel or a prequel," Butler responded. "I don't want say anymore than that, because I really don't know. I haven't read anything. I can't see it myself--sequel for me absolutely not,

After walking the red carpet in London, the RocknRolla crew flew over to Canada for their Toronto Film Festival premiere last night. The movie got a good review from PopSugar UK, and the cast looked like they were having a blast messing around with each other. After chatting with Jeremy at the Entourage premiere, we know he loves to joke around, talking about his Broadway debut and what is coming up for Ari in the new season. Here's more from what he told us on Wednesday night: On Entourage: "I think this particular dynamic is really interesting because its a bunch of guys with a NY sensibility, where they speak the truth to each other as they know it, and it can be tough love at times and really really brutal, but no matter what their status is they are going to give it to you straight and I

Gerard Butler may have once sported the greatest eight-pack in the history of mankind, but his punishment for it (besides all the puking and crying I assume happened in the shaping of it) will be to answer questions about a 300 spin-off until the end of his career.

While at the Toronto Film Festival, where many of my lucky colleagues are, Butler was asked again about the franchise potential of 299 dead Spartans by Superhero Hype. "I've heard some backroom chatter, but nothing more, so I don't know if it would be a sequel or a prequel. I don't want say anymore than that, because I really don't know. I haven't read anything. I can't see it myself -- sequel for me absolutely not, but I just mean the idea generally, I'm really not sure which way they would go with that."

He was asked this same question at RocknRolla's ComicCon junket,

Have we been swerved about Sherlock Holmes? Did Guy Ritchie give us an intentional smokescreen earlier in the week when he denied that Russell Crowe would be playing Watson to Robert Downey Jr.'s master detective? After all, Ritchie never said Russell wouldn't be in the movie.

In a move that makes a lot more sense, Latino Review cites a hush-hush source who says Crowe may play Holmes' nemesis, Prof. Moriarty instead. They are, for the record, the best-matched hero and villain of their kind, and in a way, Moriarty is the first supervillain, a man with tremendous power, resources, and resiliency. Unless he's near a waterfall. It's definitely a great character, no matter how you slice it.

Of course, this isn't an official press release, so it could be as bogus as the Watson reports, but based on Crowe's terrific work in 3:10 to Yuma as a villain, playing

Well, the rumor Russell Crowe was going to play Watson in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes turned out to be false as Guy Ritchie said, "Somebody just told me that I have Russell Crowe lined up but that's news to me. I suspect that hasn't happened and I'm still looking for my Watson." Well, notice he didn't say Crowe hadn't been cast at all and the boys at LatinoReview are now hearing there may be another role for the Aussie actor. The new rumor has Crowe playing Professor Moriarty, a fictional character who is the best-known antagonist (and nemesis) of the detective Sherlock Holmes. Widely considered to be the first true example of a super villain, Moriarty is a criminal mastermind, described by Holmes as the "Napoleon of Crime" (T. S. Eliot would later use the same phrase, in homage, to describe Macavity in Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats). Arthur Conan Doyle,

There has been talk of another charge into the 300 universe ever since it made Warner Bros rather rich last March. Well, Gerard Butler was recently asked to share any details he may have while on the rounds for the Guy Ritchie crime flick RocknRolla. From Superhero Hype!

Guy Ritchie has done it again. RocknRolla is yet another Ritchie classic like we've seen twice before with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998 and Snatch in 2000. It may not exactly top either of those two in content, but it's certainly the best British gangster film in the last eight years, which says a lot. Plus it doesn't hurt to add another great film to the Ritchie library, especially one with such a genuinely entertaining line-up of actors. In short, RocknRolla boasts that same brilliant visual style that Ritchie is known for, as well as a deceitful story as sharp as the one from Snatch. Whether you end up liking the story or not, there's no denying that Ritchie is a talented filmmaker capable of pure entertainment. Focusing on two smalltime crooks named One Two (Gerard Butler) and Mumbles (Idris Elba), RocknRolla delves into the British underworld like ...

It was Madonna's turn to play supportive spouse at the premiere of Guy Ritchie's new movie RocknRolla in London last night. On a night off from her Sticky and Sweet tour, Madonna didn't join her husband on the red carpet until Guy had already spent an hour talking to the press and greeting fans. When asked about how they make it work he said, "You've just got to love your wife. . . Is that boring enough?" The famous couple looked glamorous, as did the movie's stars Gerard Butler and Thandie Newton. Meanwhile, as Madonna's world tour rolls on there may be trouble on the road already dealing with a disgruntled tour crew. There's always controversy when it comes to Madonna, but she probably wouldn't have it any other way.

On Monday, September 1, Warner Bros. Pictures were hosting an eventful evening for their forthcoming "RocknRolla" as the action thriller film rolled down red carpet at the Odeon cinema in West End, London in celebration of its world premiere. Making the special event even more merry, the red carpet saw a surprise appearance from Guy Ritchie's superstar wife, Madonna.

Arriving minutes before the film was screened, the pop legend who was dressed in a short black Stella McCartney dress strolled down the carpet arm-in-arm with her director husband. Beside Madonna and Ritchie, the premiere was also attended by many of the cast ensemble, including Gerard Butler, Thandie Newton, Idris Elba, Geoff Bell, Jimi Mistry, Mark Strong, Tom Wilkinson and Tom Hardy, as well as the film's producers, Joel Silver and Susan Downey.

Commenting on his film, Ritchie shared that this crime movie is an "indulgence" for him. "It's the kind of film I like.

One of the few '80s remakes I can get behind is Highlander -- the original is something I always wanted to love, but couldn't. I know! It seems tailor made for me, what with Scotsmen, swords, immortals, and finest power ballads known to humankind. But there are levels of ridiculousness I will accept in film, and somehow Highlander just overruns my tolerance for it when a "Spanish" Sean Connery disdains haggis while speaking in a warm Scottish brogue. A remake has always topped my guilty wish list, and it shocks me that Summit went and green-lit it.

But news has been pretty scarce -- so scarce that the moment I saw this rumor on JoBlo, I took it. It seems one of their faithful readers heard Scottish actor Kevin McKidd on a Dublin radio show, and he mentioned that

It doesn't matter how violent this film may be, you know Gerard Butler is going to have that core group of Butler lovers creaming the seats when this thing hits theaters. I don't know what it is about the man but he has a flock of ladies following him like loons and based on the response he got at Comic Con it is more than just an online following. Hell, he even laughed at a woman asking her, "What the f**k are you wearing?" and she just smiled and said, "I still love your work." Sheesh. The film is RocknRolla and it is Guy Ritchie's return to the films that made him a name. Films such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. We don't count Revolver because really, what the hell was that? And we certainly ignore Swept Away as that film never found love from anyone.

DVD Links: Release Dates | New Dvds | Reviews | RSS Feed Star Trek - The Complete Second Season (Remastered) It's a light week for DVD releases and that is a good thing since you all need to shell out some extra dollars for the second season of the original series of "Star Trek" as Paramount releases the remastered episodes in all their glory. I am a bit upset that I currently have the HD DVD/DVD edition of the first season and now I have to add the DVD only second season to my collection without any high definition just as I will in the recently announced third season of the remastered set when it hits in November. However, Paramount hasn't sent me the second season for review yet (and who knows if they will) so I can't comment on the set itself, but I do know if they don't send it

Gerard Butler's upcoming scifi actioner Game has been delayed until 2009 due to complications with some of the films complex visual FX work. The announcement was made by producer Gary Lucchesi at a recent press junket for the film Henry Poole is Dead. Apparently, no official date has been set for the film, but I imagine going toe to toe with flicks like Transformers 2, Terminator: Salvation, Avatar, and the J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot will only make setting the release date harder to figure out. I only hope that Game doesn't get some wet behind the ears limited release followed by a quick dump out on DVD. That would suck. Lucchesi went on to say that he expects some teaser footage to appear around Christmas. You can read more about Game here.
