The Weinstein Company have released an image of Rob Marshall’s musical Nine, which started filming recently.

From left to right: Judi Dench smoking, Penelope Cruz with a weird leg position, this years Best Actress Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, Sophia Loren, Fergie with her legs open as usual, Nicole Kidman and Kate Hudson. Oh, and Daniel Day-Lewis is the dude with his back to us.

Nine tells the story of world famous film director Guido Contini, who faces a personal and professional crisis as he struggles to prepare his latest picture, while balancing the numerous women in his life — his wife, his mistress, his movie star muse, his costume designer, a fashion journalist, a whore from his childhood, and his mother.

Twilight fans may be interested to know that an exclusive clip will be featured during Monday’s episode of Heroes (9/8c on NBC). The clip will be introduced by Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward in the film.

The film stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Jacob Black, Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Nikki Reed and evolves around seventeen-year-old Isabella “Bella” Swan who moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington, and finds her life in danger when she falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen.

Twilight will be released on November 21st in the US, and December 19th in the UK.

The fact that this new Terminator Salvation footage has popped up randomly leads me to believe that it hasn’t been officially released, so catch it while you still can. The video is called Terminator 4: The Art of Martin Laing and features a male (I assume it’s Martin Laing) talking about designing the new Terminators and then seeing them come to life. The footage shows a huge Transformer like Terminator called the Harvester, and we also get a glimpse at some motor cycle-type Terminators.

Wanted writer Chris Morgan recently spoke to MTV about how things were going with Wanted 2, which was greenlight within weeks of the first film being released due to it’s successful money earning abilities.

“Yes, I will be writing it,” confirmed Morgan. “I’m actually leaving this conversation with you to go to a meeting with the director, Timur [Bekmambetov], and we’re talking about the story.”

“As far as I know, the studio is finishing their deal with Mark [Millar], and then we’re all going to get together and collaborate,” said Morgan, a longtime comics fan. “And that’s something I’m very excited about.”

“…the point is to continue the journey that Wes started in the first film. Wherever he ended up at the end of the film, now it’s time to move him forward.”

“There’s a natural journey that Wes needs to take,” continued Morgan, adding that the sequel “is going to be opened up to be more global.”

I’m not sure what they plan to do about the cast. Obviously James McAvoy will return, however Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman and Common may not. If you have seen the film you will know why. I guess the writers will have to work that one out. (Trying to get the biggest female movie star in the world back should be a priority)

I am somewhat suspicious that The Hollywood Reporter have revealed casting news for both War of the Gods and Clash of the Titans at the same time. However, it makes things interesting so I will put my suspicions aside.

War of the Gods and Clash of the Titans. Both Greek mythology-themed projects. Both currently in pre-production. Both inspired by 300 and both wanting to be released first.

THR say that Sam Worthington, who is mostly likely going to be huge by the end of 2009 after Terminator Salvation and Avatar, is in talks to play the role of Perseus in Clash of the Titans which will be directed by The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier. The film is a remake of the 1981 epic and tells the story of Zeus’ son Perseus and his battles against mythology beasts such as Medusa.

Meanwhile, Henry Cavill (The Tudors, nearly Superman in Superman Returns) is being lined up to play Theseus in War of the Gods. The film is about a war between Gods and humans.

At the moment Gods has the edge as it will begin filming in February and has a bigger budget ($85 million), whereas Titans has a smaller budget of $70 million and will start filming in April.

If you were a fan of the drama surrounding the 2008 Presidential Election then this epic battle may keep you interested in 2009. I suspect we will get accusations flying around that Sam Worthington has never put lipstick on a Minotaur, and that Henry Cavill has been associating with Hydra’s.

Earlier this year at Comic Con Hugh Jackman revealed some footage which, as expected, leaked online. It was swiftly removed (unless you know where to look) however soon we will get our first real look at X-Men Origins: Wolverine in the form of a non-blurry, high definition teaser trailer.

From xmenfilms.net:

XMF can “exclusively” confirm that 20th Century Fox is hoping to release the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine trailer with December 12th’s “The Day The Earth Stood Still”!

“We are shooting for 12/12 on DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL now…” said the studio in a statement.

According to my calculations December 12th is around 5 weeks away. Write it down or carve it into a nearby wall!

After filming in exotic places such as Panama, Lake Garda in Italy and…err…Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, Quantum of Solace director Marc Foster will be brought back down to reality in his next film, as he is heading to ‘the streets’.

According to Variety:

Universal is in negotiations to remake the Korean film “Die Bad,” developing the drama as a potential directing vehicle for “Quantum of Solace” helmer Marc Forster. Brad Ingelsby will write the script.

Written and directed by Seung-wan Ryoo, the 2000 original consisted of four short films that told the story of the rise and fall of a gangster. The components are being combined for the English-language remake that will be set in Philadelphia.

“It’s an epic story of friendship, and how a single incident can change one’s life,” said Ingelsby.

I am expecting this will be a deep, character driven film with 100% less product placement.
