– Looks like shooting on Edgar Wright’s “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World” has wrapped. “TODAY… ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs The World’… WRAPS principal photography!” wrote the comic’s writer Bryan Lee O’Malley. “Wherever you are, give them a round of applause!”
– Matthew Vaughn is getting way ahead of himself. “[I’d] love to do ‘The Avengers,'” the director told MTV. “And ‘Superman’… I think it would be great to reinvent Superman.” Vaughn was of course planning a Man Of Steel reboot with “Wanted” and “Kick-Ass” writer, Mark Millar, but ‘The Avengers”?! The director also tried to claim credit on the “Iron Man” franchise revealing that he “was desperate to do ‘Iron Man’ about 8 years ago, and everyone was like, “Iron Man, no one will go watch that.” The way fanboys are raving about “Kick-Ass”, we wouldn’t be surprised if Vaughn got some bigger comic properties.
– Rose McGowan has provided a few updates on her “Red Sonja.” The actress first tweeted that the film was something she “was meant to do in ’08 [but for] major personal & private reasons I pulled out.” McGowan then clarified her original fanboy-tear-inducing comment by adding that she “pulled out of doing it in ’09. Not permanently,” that it “hopefully will follow ‘Conan'” and that she is “still contracted to do Red Sonja [and that it will] hopefully be filming in ’10 not ’09.” In summary: we know as much about what’s going on with this project as we did before McGowan’s twitter updates.
– Joel Silver is evidently looking to remake Wes Craven’s “The Swamp Thing” in 3D. “I’m developing a picture now that I’d like to do,” Silver tells Collider. “I’ll hopefully do ‘Swamp Thing,’ which is a movie we’ve had for a long time. We think that would be great to do in 3D. There are a couple of projects I’m thinking about (for the format) but not everything.”
– Here is the trailer for “The Descent 2,” Jon Harris’ sequel to Neil Marshall’s 2005 original which is set to begin from where the first film ended. Looks like they’re going for a straight-up horror film rather than the claustrophobic thriller of the first.
