12 July 2009 10:30 PM, PDT
Steven Soderbergh is apparently mulling plans to return to the world of The Limey – with Terrence Stamp along for the ride. While there’s no official word from the director himself, the news comes from what might be the next best source – his missus. Talking on the Adam Corolla podcast, journalist and Soder-spouse Jules Asner revealed that not only does he want to do it, but that he’s already got a cast in mind. “He wants to do a sequel to The Limey,” she told the host. “And Terence...

The Flock attacks Hollywood
12 July 2009 10:29 PM, PDT
Transformers producer Don Murphy has snagged the rights to what he thinks might make a high-concept summer actioner: The Flock. It’s based on James Robert Smith’s book, which finds a group of highly intelligent prehistoric birds who go on the warpath after years in hiding when developers try to build a Walt Disney-style park and “perfect” town on their land. It’s got quite a story – and quite a journey too: Murphy discovered the book when he found Smith criticising the movie of From Hell on...

The first image from Wes Anderson’s animated take on Roald Dahl’s The Fantastic Mr fox has arrived online. JoBlo got their paws on the pic, which you can see below. We’d almost thought Anderson and co had forgotten about it, given the lack of trailers and promotional pics. But then, you have to remember just how long stop-motion animation truly takes. The pic features the voices of George Clooney (as our hero), Meryl Streep (as Mrs Fox) and Bill Murray as Badger (also shown below). We’re intrigued to...

Hong Kong Phooey has a director
12 July 2009 5:48 PM, PDT
The live-action/CG blend update of the old Hanna-Barbera ‘toon Hong Kong Phooey has a director, in the shape of Alex Zamm. Zamm, who has mostly directed straight-to-video sequels to the likes of Inspector Gadget and Dr Doolittle, is the man chosen to bring the tale of Penrod “Penry” Pooch, a seemingly ordinary police station caretaker who, when trouble strikes, transforms into a kung-fu fighting super dog. He’s a bit of a blundering hero – and he’s usually helped along by Spot, his police cat...

Bruno sexes up the Us box office
12 July 2009 5:33 PM, PDT
Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest comic character to hit the screen – Bruno – has topped the box office charts across the pond with $30 million. While it just nudged ahead of Borat’s figures, it was released much wider, which means it’s likely not going to be quite as popular. Still, its first weekend put it ahead of Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs ($28.5 million) and Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen ($24.2 million). In fourth place, Public Enemies held up decently, while The Proposal snatched...
