The biggest movie news of the past week

23/08/2010 to 29/08/2010

This past week was a bit light and also worth to mention the absence of comic book news. First Dustin Hoffman will be appearing in the new film Little Fockers. Initially he was not going to be in it but with change of mind from Hoffman came re-shoots as the film is already been prepped and done.

Jeremy Renner of Hurt Locker fame is going to co-star with Tom Cruise in the new Mission Impossible film. And the scoop is that his role is to be equal to Cruise and that M.I. maybe is changing its action tempo, style and budget due to Cruise declining popularity.

Financially this has been a great year for Disney. As of  a few days ago Disney became the first studio to ever to have two billon dollars films in the same year with Toy Story 3 and Alice in Wonderland.

The most interesting news of the week was that John Cusack (High Fidelity, The Grifters, Grosse Point Blank) will play Edgar Allan Poe in the Raven adaptation by director James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, Ninja Assassin).

And final news is that Jessica Alba will most likely play in Spy Kids 4. Which means that Spy Kids 4 is in the works. Which means Robert Rodriguez once again after making one of the bloodiest film ever with Machete will make again a kids film with Spy Kids 4. For fans of Rodriguez work in Sin City or Once Upon  a Time in Mexico you should also see his other masterpieces in Spy Kids 3 and Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D. Just Kidding!
