Burn-E, the new Pixar short film will be available on the WALL-E DVD coming out November 18. But it seems time is no constraint for some Disney Pixar fans: Burn-E has already leaked online even before the official release of the DVD!
J.J. Abrams’ USS Enterprise is rather close to the original one. He made indeed great deal of respecting the source material:
If you’re going to do Star Trek there are many things you cannot change. The Enterprise is a visual touchstone for so many people. So if you’re going to do the Enterprise, it better look like the Enterprise, because otherwise, what are you doing?

Such good news can but engage one’s warp drive!

Comments Off on David Goyer Magneto Movie Synopsis
Director David Goyer is set to work on a Magneto movie. No release date yet though, as the movie has not even kicked in production. But the screenplay has already been drafted by Scriptwriter Sheldon Turner. That’s why we may nonetheless have an official synopsis of this Magneto movie:
The original X-Men Origins film began with a prologue that showed the character as a child being led to a concentration camp by Nazis and that is the period in which the Magneto film will take place. This setup will allow a future villain to at least flirt with the designation of protagonist since the character will be seen almost exclusively in his formative years.
The storyline will heavily involve Professor X, the wheelchair-using X-Men leader. That character was a soldier in the allied force that liberated the concentration camps. The professor meets Magneto after the war and while they bond over the realisation that they are alike in their special powers, their differences soon turn them into enemies.
Unfortunately the movie Magneto is in stand by for now because Fox can’t devote resources to a new project until Wolverine is out. Too bad Marvel can’t take back the rights of the Magneto movie! But if Fox keep postponing it, Marvel will get it back around 2012 (would be sad to have to wait so long though…).
Let’s hope there will be some crossover between the upcoming Wolverine movie and Magneto. I pray for Fox to learn from Marvel’s success!

It is reported that Nicolas Cage really appreciated to hang out of the USA for National Treasure 2, so one may bet that he will travel again in National Treasure 3.
It is not yet confirmed if the page 47 of the book of secrets, which Benjamin Gates (Nicolas Cage) described as life-altering, will be part of this new National Treasure movie. Director Jon Turteltaub even hinted that it could actually be the premise of National Treasure 4.
National Treasure 3 is expected to be released in 2010.

Two extended scenes plus an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from Twilight, the upcoming movie adaptation of the romantic vampire masterpiece written by Stephenie Meyer, are currently shown at the Film festival of Rome in Italy. The two extended scenes are:
Director Guy Ritchie, the one who is getting divorced from Madonna, is working a new movie adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, the fmous novel series written a century ago by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law have cast for the lead roles. But the roles have assigned with disregard of the actors’ physiognomies: Downey is Sherlock Holmes and Jude Law is Dr. Watson. Had they followed the usual representation of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson the roles would have been reversed. The slim Jude Law looks more like the mythic Sherlock Holmes.
But I’m sure Robert Downey Jr. will surprise us anyway!
;-P
If you get bored of the slow pace of the Da Vinci Code movie then maybe Angels and Demons be a better match. Indeed according to producer Brian Grazer:
“Langdon doesn’t stop and give a speech. When he speaks, he’s in motion.”
Well i enjoyed the Da Vinci Code. And I’m quite impatient to see Angels and Demons because it also combines sci-fi (with anti-matter!) and religion!
