Warner Bros reboots Chevy Chase's 'Fletch'

Warner Bros will reboot Chevy Chase's Fletch series as an action-comedy, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie will be based on Gregory McDonald's investigative reporter I.M. Fletcher, who appeared in 11 novels spanning from 1974 to 1994.

Chase starred as the character in the 1985 movie Fletch and its 1989 sequel Fletch Lives. The new project, which is yet to hire a writer or director, will not be related to the earlier films.

Clerks director Kevin Smith was previously attached to make a Fletch movie with Ben Affleck, Jason Lee and Joshua Jackson rumoured for the lead role. Bill Lawrence was also once involved in reviving the Fletch series, citing his then Scrubs star Zach Braff as a potential leading man.

Final Destination 6' and '7' Planned to Be Filmed Back to Back

Two more "Final Destination" films could arrive soon. Tony Todd who has appeared in several movies in the thriller series recently revealed that "Final Destination 6" and "Final Destination 7" are already planned while Warner Bros. Pictures has not released "Final Destination 5" yet, and they might be shot back to back.

"The producer told me as we were leaving Vancouver that if it opens at Number 1 - which statistically it has - they're going to shoot the next two simultaneously," he said during an interview with Dread Central. The actor has faith on the possible sequels as he claims the fifth film will please audience, saying this on the August 26 release, "Thumbs up! Thumbs way up. They expanded my part."

In "Final Destination 5", death is just as omnipresent as ever and is unleashed after one man's premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. Steve Quale, who previously worked with James Cameron as a second unit director for "Titanic" and "Avatar", is hired to serve behind the lens for the upcoming horror movie.

Beside Tony Todd, the cast ensemble of the film will also include Emma Bell, Nicholas D'Agosto, Miles Fisher, Arlen Escarpeta, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, P.J. Byrne, Ellen Wroe, Courtney B. Vance and David Koechner.

Jackman 'gaining weight for Wolverine'

Hugh Jackman has revealed that he is consuming up to 6,000 calories per day in order to bulk up for his role in The Wolverine.

The actor - who has gained 20lbs since 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine - told the Los Angeles Times that director Darren Aronofsky felt that his character needs to put on weight to bring the story to life.

"Darren said with the last one, 'Hey you looked great, but you're so tall that in those long shots you looked kind of like Clint Eastwood, and that's not Wolverine'," he explained.

"He said that Wolverine, in the comics, is powerful, stocky - you know, he's short and thick. So he said, 'I want you to go there, get bigger'."

Jackman added that he believes the project will please fans, saying: "I feel like all the planets are finally aligned to make a great movie.

"I think we're going to make one that people will describe as the best of the bunch."

The Wolverine will hit theatres worldwide in 2012.

Samuel L. Jackson has revealed that he will make a cameo in Thor, despite reports to the contrary.

During an appearance on NBC's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, the actor confirmed that he will reprise his role as Nick Fury in both Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger.

Thor arrives in theatres on April 29. The Avengers is scheduled for 2012.

Ralph Fiennes in talks for 'Bond 23

Ralph Fiennes is in talks to star in the 23rd James Bond movie, reports the Daily Mail.

Kevin Spacey had also been approached to star in the latest Bond film but will not be available because of his Old Vic production of Richard III.

'Superman' female lead 'may be a villain

A recent report claims that the female lead that Zack Snyder is currently choosing for his Superman reboot is actually for the part of a female supervillain.

Earlier this week it was reported that Alice Eve, Diane Kruger and Rosamund Pike were the top three contenders for the film's female lead, which was presumed to be longtime Superman romantic interest Lois Lane.

However, according to Latino Review, the role that these three actresses are supposedly vying for is actually that of Kryptonian supervillain Ursa.

Ursa has appeared on screen before, played by Sarah Douglas during the Christopher Reeve film franchise in both Superman: The Movie and Superman II.

These rumours suggests that General Zod may be the film's primary villain after all, despite Snyder's previous claims to the contrary.

The film is due to begin production this summer for an expected release in late 2012.

Mother' star likely to join 'Avengers

How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders has emerged as one of the front-runners for the previously undisclosed role of Maria Hill in Marvel Studios' upcoming film The Avengers.

While the character is a late addition to the film, Smulders is believed to be director Joss Whedon's first choice for the part, according to Deadline.

Earlier this week Samuel L. Jackson, who will play S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury in the film, revealed that his character would be accompanied by a female sidekick who was currently being auditioned.

This sidekick is widely expected to be that of Deputy Director Maria Hill, who emerged in the comics as a cold and ruthless replacement for Nick Fury during the Civil War event.

If negotiations go to plan, a deal is expected to be signed with Smulders within the next few weeks.

Production on The Avengers is due to begin this April, followed by an announced release date of May 4, 2012.
