Rather than jump right into another blockbuster film, director and writer Joss Whedon quietly went to work on his small budget movie, Much Ado About Nothing. After screenings, Lionsgate picked up the distribution rights for the Shakespeare adaptation.

The trailer for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is out now, starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton. The feel has a combination of Brothers Grimm and Van Helsing. Frankly, I find that enjoyable.
After numerous delays — thanks to the studio’s indecisiveness on either the R-rated cut or PG:13 — Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters will hit theaters in January.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

The current worst box office opening goes to the children’s movie Oogieloves. A terrifying Teletubbies ripoff about three monsters searching for five magical balloons (probably full of the blue stuff) for their friend’s birthday party. -
Charlie Sheen Wanted to be Spider-Man
If Charlie Sheen’s ascent into madness wasn’t enough, he upped the ante with information on a current franchise: Spider-Man. Apparently, according to the man, he brought the superhero to the attention of the people at Orion with the intent of playing the character way back when. -
Michael Keaton in Robocop

An alternate opening to The Avengers is online, focusing on Cobie Smulders’ Maria Hill’s interrogation after the attack on New York. It’s a more emotional scene than the Loki one we saw in theaters, and really changes the dynamic between Nick Fury and Maria Hill. It shows that Hill may follow orders, but she has issues with Fury’s command. It takes from the comics; Hill always had a problem with Fury.

Robocop Remake Loses Actor
The remake of Robocop has a hell of a cast growing, with the likes of Joel Kinnaman, Samuel L. Jackson and Gary Oldman. Unfortunately, the man who was in talks to play Omni Corp CEO — and likely entertaining sociopath — Hugh Laurie has dropped out of the project.
