Co-Writer on Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim
Co-writer Marcus Dunstan of Pacific Rim was with the crew to witness a ten second teaser from Guillermo del Toro’s epic. In an interview, Dunstan had words that made excitement grow for the movie:
Photos from Thor: The Dark World Set
Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World is currently filming, which means photos from set are circulating online.

Downey/Stark’s smartass ways is just too appealing. But no, it wasn’t Iron Man that I was going to talk write about.
Steven Spielberg Adapting Robopocalypse
Daniel H. Wilson’s novel Robopocalypse is being adapted into a film by Steven Spielberg. Actors Ben Whishaw and Anne Hathaway have recently been cast in lead roles, with Chris Hemsworth still in talks. That alone gives production a strong start; all three are charismatic and more than capable.
