The vague future

Gore Verbinski will be directing his first animated feature, an action adventure, set for a 2010 release. The title and storyline are unknown, but it has a projected budget of about $100 million.

Director Roland Emmerich is shopping around his next movie, 2012. The premise is from a Mayan belief that a seismic shift will happen December 12, 2012 that’ll cause either a new Ice Age or the end of the world. He’s hoping for a 2009 release.

Edgar Wright on Marvel's Ant Man, "I finished the script and I'm having a meeting about it next week, but it depends which comes first in the queue basically. I've been working on two at once, and I'm also about to start developing two more scripts, one of which is with Simon (Pegg). It could be Scott Pilgrim [Scott Prilgrim’s Precious Little Life] is next or it could be Ant Man, we shall see."

The latest rumor surrounding the Justice League movie comes from a synopsis from a casting agent: “The film is about Green Lantern, Green Arrow and others of the Justice League of America, an organisation made up of the world's greatest superheroes. They must deal with the expulsion of Batman and the death of Superman at the hands of the monstrous Doomsday.”

Guillermo del To says he’s spoken to Neil Gaiman about doing a movie on Marvel character Dr. Strange, "I said, that’s an interesting character because you can definitely make him more in the pulpy occult detective/magician mould and formula than was done in the Weird Tales.”

Jon Favreau on The Avengers, "I don't want to blow anything, and also I don't honestly know where it's all going to land. I know that there are sort things that have been discussed and tried and talked about. I know at the end of the day on the Horizon is The Avengers, and the idea is to have chapters of all of the characters that would contribute to being The Avengers. ... Hopefully, we're all going toward The Avengers.”
