IESB has news that the in-development Forbidden Planet remake has caught the interest of James Cameron who has been looking at directing the remake.

Tom Cruise may be starring in Guillermo del Toro's film of The Champions based on the old UK TV show. Written by Christopher McQuarrie.

MTV finally caught up with Fincher and made sure to bring up Chef (starring eanu Reeves) and actually got a quirky answer our of him. "It's good and chewy," Fincher says. "It's like a celibate sex comedy if that means anything. It's really about the creative process. It's truly an aromatic art-form, making food. I love that idea. And I love Keanu's passion for that world."
