Abrams expects 'Trek 2' script in March

J.J. Abrams has revealed that he is expecting to read a script for the Star Trek sequel in March.

Speaking to Collider, Abrams admitted that writers Damon Lindelof, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci will be turning in a draft when he debuts the trailer for Super 8 in two months' time.

Abrams, who oversaw 2009's well-received franchise revamp, again stated that he has yet to make a decision about returning to direct the sequel.

"It's a tough decision to make without seeing any [script] pages," he said. "That’s not to say that I don't have all the faith in the world in the spectacular writers. Damon Lindelof, Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman are awesome. My hope is that they'll write the script, it will be great and we can make a fun, exciting sequel to Star Trek."

Paramount has Star Trek 2 scheduled for release on June 29, 2012.

I will watch this new Spider-Man movie but I don't think it will be very good and I guess it might tank at the box office compared to the last 3 Spider-Man movies when it is released.

Scott's 'Alien' prequel becomes 'Prometheus'

Ridley Scott's next movie Prometheus has been confirmed for worldwide release on March 9, 2012, 20th Century Fox has announced.

The project, which was initially conceived as an Alien prequel, will now instead be an "original science fiction epic" scripted by Jon Spaihts and Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof.

Explaining the evolution of the movie, Scott said: "While Alien was indeed the jumping-off point for this project, out of the creative process evolved a new, grand mythology and universe in which this original story takes place.

"The keen fan will recognise strands of Alien's DNA, so to speak, but the ideas tackled in this film are unique, large and provocative. I couldn't be more pleased to have found the singular tale I'd been searching for, and finally return to this genre that's so close to my heart."

Lindelof added that working alongside Scott is "a dream come true".

"In a world flooded with prequels, sequels and reboots, I was incredibly struck by just how original Ridley's vision was for this movie," Lindelof said. "It's daring, visceral and hopefully, the last thing anyone expects."

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo actress Noomi Rapace will lead the cast of Prometheus as scientist Elizabeth Shaw. The rest of the cast are expected to be announced soon. Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender have recently been rumoured for roles.

Jason Statham casts doubt over 'Crank 3'

The Expendables star Jason Statham has cast doubt on the possibility of another entry in the Crank film series.

Statham starred in the first two movies in the action franchise in 2006 and 2009, but recently suggested that the poor performance of Crank: High Voltage might stop another film from happening.

"It's a shame the last one didn't do that well," he told Collider. "I think the first one had a little bit more success and usually if you do a sequel, it usually has to in some ways take a little bit more money than the first one."

Despite the uncertain future of the Crank films, Statham has indicated that work on a sequel to The Expendables is likely to begin soon, adding that he hopes to reprise his role in the film.

His latest film The Mechanic is due for release on January 28.

I would like to see a Crank 3 but I am more interested in seeing a Transporter 4 if I'm honest.

"Though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime," Stiller added. "Their lives have changed and they're not really relevant anymore."

He also confirmed that the script does include Will Ferrell's character from the original 2001 film.

There has been no official announcement on when production on Zoolander 2 may begin.

Jean-Claude Van Damme may join the cast of The Expendables 2, it has been reported.

Van Damme declined a role in the first Expendables film, released last year. However, according to Movie Web, director Sheldon Lettich wrote on the forum of website The Van Damme Files that the action star will accept a role in the sequel on one condition.

"JC seems to be leaning towards appearing in the sequel, as far as I know… If Steven Seagal is not in the sequel," wrote Lettich.

He continued: "From what I've heard [of The Expendables 2], [Seagal] won't be [in the sequel], not because of [Sylvester Stallone], but because of producer Avi Lerner, who had a few bad experiences with Steven."

The Expendables 2 is scheduled to be released in 2012.

I would love to see JC in The Expendables 2, but I would also like to see Steven Seagal in it too, guess I cant get both.

Damon 'hopes to make another Bourne movie'

Matt Damon has revealed that he may star in another Bourne movie.

At the Critics' Choice Awards on Friday, Damon spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the prospects for another film in the Bourne franchise.

"I really hope it’s going to happen," Damon said. "It's really up to Paul Greengrass, the director. I've always said I won't do it without him and I think it would be a bad idea to do it without Paul."

Damon went on to explain that the two men want to make a quality film.

"We just want to make sure if we do it, that we do it right. There's been a lot of pressure for us to do it obviously but that's that moment I think where you got to step back and make sure you're not making a mistake. So when it feels like the right time, I think Paul would be open to doing it."

I don't think the new Bourne movie will be any good unless Matt Damon is in it.

Franco to play real-life serial killer

James Franco has revealed that he will play a serial killer in the film The Night Stalker.

According to the New York Post, Franco, who will also direct the movie, will play Richard Ramirez, a rapist and murderer in the mid-'80s.

The film will be adapted from Philip Carlo's book of the same title. Nicholas Constantine, one of the screenwriters on the project, spoke to the paper about Franco's involvement.

"I had no idea if he would do it, though, since it's pretty dark subject matter," said Constantine. "They told me he was studying to be a director and this was perfect for him."

He continued: "We watched three short films he made, two of which were dark and one of which was about a serial killer. That confirmed James definitely had this dark side, and it definitely sealed the deal for us. Sure enough, James read the material and responded to it immediately."

Eastwood 'will never stop filming'

Clint Eastwood has revealed that he will never stop making movies.

Eastwood, who most recently helmed Hereafter, spoke to The Daily Telegraph about his future as a director, stating that he plans to make movies until he dies.

"I was always curious why somebody like Billy Wilder would stop making movies in his sixties when someone like John Huston was directing when he was in a wheelchair," said Eastwood.

He continued: "It just depends on your abilities at that particular time of life. People peak at different times of life. There is a Portuguese director who is 104 and still making movies."

Eastwood went on to say that his choices as a director stem from his experiences as an actor.

"Everything I do as a director is based upon what I prefer as an actor," he added..

Hereafter opens on January 28 in the UK.
