CAPTAIN AMERICA GETS A START DATE
Joe Johnston revealed pre-production for Captain America is about to begin and that he plans to start filming June 2010. He did not mention if anyone was being targeted for the role of Captain America, or if anyone else had been brought up to star either.

I am really looking forward to all these films leading up to The Avengers. Iron Man, Thor and Captain America are all strong characters and I think that they are all going to be well done films. The only franchise that needs to step its game up is The Hulk. The Incredible Hulk was much better than the first, but still needs some tinkering.



NIGHT AND FOG
Producers Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy are working on bringing "Night and Fog" to the big screen.

Night and Fog is a comic set during WWII, the story revolves around an infectious mist unleashed on a military base that transforms its victims into preternatural creatures of the night. But when the survivors try to kill them, they adapt and change into something even more horrific and unstoppable.

Sounds like The Mist to me, but I am always up for some sci-fi horror films.



NO MR. T CAMEO
Mr. T recently said that he would not do a cameo for the upcoming A-Team film. He said it wasn't about the money, but that if his B.A. Baracus wasn't the main guy then why do it. He did not want them promoting the film as if he were in it and confuse his family.

Sounds a little conceded to me, but I could care less if he makes a cameo or not. I would like to see it, but I'm not going to protest the movie over it. I hope it turns out good.



THUNDERCATS NO GO
The Thundercats film has been shelved. Warner Bros. said they were going to do the film, then nothing happened for months and then big name video game director, Jerry O’Flaherty was going to direct. Now it seems it isn't going to happen at all.

This is probably a very good move. I can't see this movie coming out as a live action film and being taken seriously. It's good to see studios pulling movies instead of forcing them like FOX.



STILL HOPE FOR JUSTICE LEAGUE
About a year ago, a Justice League movie was being put together using younger actors like Adam Brody. Then suddenly and thankfully it was shelved. Now it seems that a legit Justice League movie could be happening.

Come January, Warner Bros. is going to release their DC franchise strategy. Reports say that they are going to try and build up to a Justice League movie instead of doing one, then making the individual movies. Green Lantern is going to be the first step to the Justice League film.

This is a great move for Warner Bros.. If they would have followed Marvel's lead five years ago instead of piddling around, they could be half way there by now. Warner Bros. definitely needs to step their game up when it comes to the DC universe if they are ever going to compete with Marvel.
