Movie News 02/04/09

• In more 3D news, both 3D updates of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 will be released as a double feature in cinemas for a short period in October. Not a bad idea.

• The Sex and the City Movie sequel will hit theaters May 28, 2010. Joy! </sarcasm>

• Don’t forget to check out Keira Knightley’s Domestic Abuse video .

• Okay, I mentioned before that A Nightmare on Elm Street is being remade. Well, here’s a novel approach for auditioning for a role – Chris Johnson made his own trailer for the new film and cast himself as Freddy. This is truly brilliant:

• They’re going ahead with making Men in Black III. No details yet and neither Will Smith nor Tommy Lee Jones have signed up thus far. I really don’t see any reason to make this after the abysmal MIB2. No word on Barry Sonnenfeld’s involvement either.

• Speaking of auld Barry - he will next direct The Spellman Files , an adaptation of Lisa Lutz’s novel about a single private eye who has to juggle the demands of running her family’s business with her dating life. No cast yet.

• Stephen Sondheim (he of Sweeney Todd) is looking at staging a musical version of Groundhog Day. Now I may have mentioned before that the Bill Murray classic is probably my favourite ever comedy, so one might think I would be against the idea. But – it’s such a great premise. And with Sondheim involved, it could be amazing.

• Check out the trailer for The Boat That Rocked which is now on release:

• This is Marion Cotillard:

• This is also Marion Cotillard:
