We’ve seen her navigate the skies in The Golden Compass, but will she be doing the same as Wonder Woman? Model Megan Gale was reported to have been cast in that part, but who really knows?

This in from Lizerne Guiting: LOTR fans have two things to look forward to in 2010 and 2011—Tolkien’s The Hobbit and its sequel, just announced for production in 2009.

The nominations are in for The Golden Globes -- the oh-so-important arbiter of things to come on Oscar night. (Now we'll see if there's actually a ceremony with the writers still on strike). Who got the nods? Check below for the major movie categories. I just have one comment. Not to carp or complain, but dang, no musical nod for Once? Yeah, ok, I constantly plugged it on this blog, but...

At the premiere last night for Charlie Wilson's War, the actress showed up in a classic, simple black dress -- quite the opposite of the real Joanne Herring, the Houston socialite she portrays in the film.The last time Roberts appeared onscreen as a real-life character, she won an Academy...
If you're a Tim Burton, Johnny Depp or Stephen Sondheim fan (and I'd guess a lot of moviegoers fall into one of those three categories), your time has come! Sweeney Todd has landed, and those who've seen it are going gaga over it. Check out the Variety review here. A couple of our trade folks also caught a special screening, and can't stop raving about it. Apparently, Johnny Depp...

It's good to be independent, and good to be bloody. No Country for Old Men, the Coen Brothers' modern day western-suspense-thriller, won Best Film, while Tim Burton was named Best Director...
