Movie Buzz: two more versions of Watchmen coming, The Losers casting, Rourke out of Iron Man 2, Linda Hamilton to Terminator

Linda Hamilton is in talks to to be part of Terminator Salvation. Rumor has it that it’s just doing some voiceover to intro the new film, but let’s hope that it’s more. It would be nice to see the real mama Connor show up.

Zach Snyder says there are two other version of Watchmen being planned – a possible director’s cut theatrical version for July (3 hours 10 minutes) and then a orgasmic DVD version (3 hours 25 minutes). Well, at least they’re letting us know now so we don’t get new version upon new version thrust upon us, telling us it’s the ‘ultimate’ or ‘restored’ or whatever (that’s sticking it to you, Mr. Lucas and Mr. Coppola).

More comic book/movie stuff, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is slated to head the cast of The Losers – a DC-Vertigo property about some black ops commandos who are set up by their own government, only to survive and set out to even the score.

Mickey Rourke is looking doubtful for Iron Man 2.


Hollywood Buzz: Slumdog, Rourke win at BAFTAs, other rumors and fun

Slumdog Millionaire won the top film at the BAFTA’s – the British version of the Oscars. Check out Mickey Rourke’s entertaining acceptance speech:

Here’s more on the awards:

Director Zach Snyder has a cameo in his new Watchmen film – a photo was released – nothing earth-shattering, but kind of fun.

Brett Ratner is looking to direct an adaptation of Rob Leifeld’s iconic graphic novel Youngblood. Considering how friggin’ crappy X-Men 3 was, it makes me sad.

Val Kilmer wants to be the governor of New Mexico. Considering how many crappy films he’s made of late, getting him involved with something else will be a plus.

The San Diego Comic-Con will have some Tron 2 fun. Expect some clips and panel type stuff.

The civil war at the Screen Actors Guild appears to be waning, as the moderates have solidified their hold on the board. Avoiding a prolonged legal squabble will be best for everyone.
