Guy Ritchie has revealed that “Sgt. Rock” will not be his next project and has hinted that a new comic property will “arguably, possibly” be what he tackles next. “I intend to be making a film by January. I’m not sure exactly what, but I’m quite confident that by January I’ll be in production.” On what that project may be and if he has his eye on any another comic properties, the director cryptically added: “That, you’ll find out shortly… I don’t commit myself in case I tread on someone’s toes.” Mind you, he did note that “superheroes aren’t really [his] thing.” It’s anyone’s guess.

Robert Rodriguez has taken to discussing a number of his upcoming projects. The director revealed that Nimrod Antal will “start shooting…pretty soon” on his “Predators” reboot while also putting a wet blanket over “Sin City 2” noting that he has a completed script but “until [he’s] actually on the set, it’s not happening.” Finally, despite recently rumors of it begin canned, Rodriguez added that “Nerverackers” and its potential development “would be next year sometime.” So which is it?

Brett Ratner evidently wants Robert Pattinson for his adaptation of comic series, “Youngblood.” “[Pattinson] could do anything. He just has that look,” the director hack said, proving he is just as good at spotting talent as he is with a camera.”He just feels like he belongs in that world. I don’t only see him as a vampire, he’s a really good actor.” In a just world, this will happen, for comedic value. [MTV]
