The Random - True Lies 2, Preacher, Heath Ledger, Benjamin Button, Torso, London Boulevard, G.I. Joe, Star Trek

Tom Arnold is talking about getting True Lies II together again, and with Arnold Schwarzenegger on board - “If all goes as planned, the day Arnold leaves office, we will again team with Jim Cameron and do a comedy. Jim says it might not be called True Lies II, but it will be fun.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, John August will be stepping in for scripting duties on the adaption of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's Preacher. Sam Mendes is still down to direct it. Wouldn't it be cool if they could get Clint Eastwood to play the Saint of Killers.

Heath Ledger’s ‘Dark Knight’ Oscar Nomination arrives on the Anniversary Of his death.

The LATimes have the interesting news that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button may not be profitable despite being nominated for a load of Oscars.

Paramount has let the rights to the novel behind the film adaptation of Torso lapse meaning David Fincher's planned film is all up in the air. Paramount had an option on the novel and had the rights to extend that option but let that slip last month. The Hollywood Reporter has more.

Colin Farrell is to star in London Boulevard with Keira Knightley. The crime drama based on Ken Bruen's novel of the same name, is to be directed by the writer of The Departed, William Monahan, who is making his directorial debut. Farrell will be playing a London-based criminal just released from a stint in prison who tries to give up his gangster way of life by becoming a handyman for a reclusive actress, played by Knightley. First Showing have more.

Entertainment Weekly spoke to Stephen Sommers about G.I. Joe - "I always loved the old Bonds. It's funny now how Bond wants to be Bourne. I loved Quantum of Solace, but it was like, man, this is a completely different movie to the Bonds I grew up with. In a very contemporary way, G.I. Joe is inspired by the memory of the kind of movies I saw when I was younger. I remember being in the theater for Thunderball and the big underwater battle at the end of that movie just blew my socks off. In G.I. Joe, there's an underwater battle under the polar icecap that's Thunderball times 10!"

USAToday.com has a first look at the new line of Star Trek toys which will be released in association with JJ Abrams’ new film. The Transporter PlaySet comes with Scotty and features real transporter beam effects (I assume that doesn't mean the ability to teleport objects is contained within it's plastic structure).
