Final day of the week, and the news has gone a bit quiet, though some of these new bits are very interesting indeed.
Avatar: Special Edition
Liked Avatar? Bought the DVD already? Well, prepare to be screwed again...Fox have announced that a new Extended version of Avatar will be appearing in Cinemas again soon...extended by a whole 8 minutes! Amazing. It promises new action scenes, new animals, etc, etc, etc. This pushes the film 8 minutes closer to the 3 hour mark, how scary.
Thanks to Den Of Geek for the heads up on this.
Beast And Banshee For X-Men: First Class
Despite previous reports of Benjamin walker gaining the role of Beast in the upcoming X-Men prequel, it's now been confirmed that Nicholas Hoult has taken the role instead. In addition, Caleb Landry Jones has been cast as Banshee.
Hoult seems an odd choice for Beast, given how skinny he is...but you never know, we could be surprised.
New Title For Saw VII?
I really hope this is a rumour, because otherwise this is a really bad title for the final (supposedly) Saw film. Saw VII: The Traps Come Alive has apparently been confirmed by Lionsgate as the new title for the 7th installment to the series.
If it is true, then at least it's the final (supposedly) film, meaning they can't continue (maybe) creating awful titles for each film.
Chris Columbus For Superman Reboot?
Over at Superman Homepage there are rumours brewing of Chris Columbus (director of several Harry Potter films) taking the helm for the Superman Reboot. As I say, keep this as rumour for now...it's a bit too much to hope that Nolan would direct the film himself, but I'd really hope that Columbus stays as just a rumour for this film...
New Tron Legacy Screens
Shiny new images from the upcoming Tron: Legacy, thanks to Den of Geek. There are more images in the link.
That's all the news for today I'm afraid. More to follow on Monday though.
