03) Ashley Miller and Zach Stentz (X-men: First Class) writers are officially on the Top Gun sequel. It’s said to bring Air Force pilots into present day. No word on who may or may not return.

04) Juan Carlos Fresnadillo was going to direct The Crow. Now he’s gone as well.

05) Here’s some video of destruction from Resident Evil: Retribution from Milla with some commentary.

06) Featurette of Breaking Dawn - Part 1.

Gatsby will be a success in my eyes if I don't fall asleep watching it.
Im stoked for Taken 2 though, the first one set the bar pretty high though. hm...

The rumored cast for Expendables 2 is ridiculous.

Jesus Christ, if it's true that Chuck Norris will be in Expendables 2 the world really is going to end in 2012.

Touch looks pretty cool, I'll probly check it out.

touch looks interesting.

Avengers trailer was awesome.

Excited for the Jim Carrey & Steve Carrell movie.

This movie sounds awesome!

SO EXCITED for the Gatsby movie. It is by far my favorite book and I even have plans to get a sleeve based on the book. I have enough faith to believe it will be a good movie.

I'm pretty excited to see how they work the Skrulls into it. And apparently it's leading into either the secret war or civil war for Avengers 2.

The nerd in my is going fucking apeshit.

Can't wait for The Great Gatsby... Seems like a solid cast they've assembled.

Sequels that will suck: Thor 2, Taken 2, Green Lantern 2

First movies that sucked: Thor, Taken, Green Lantern

Great Gatsby is gonna be amazing though, and new Die Hard news is always welcome.
