Maybe I am just a Harry Potter geek but this has perked me up this morning!

Deathly Hallows Part 2 Featurette Online

It’s safe to say that Harry Potter fans are pretty excited about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. And by ‘pretty excited’ we of course mean ‘dying from the tension’. So to ease that, here’s a featurette on the next film, just for you.

It’s got the big three talking about their roles and what to expect from the next movie, plus snippets from David Heyman, the producer, and David Yates, the director.

But more than that it’s the extra tiny slithers of new footage you’re going to be excited about most, but don’t worry, we’re not going to tell you about them here – just take a look at the video and check them out for yourself.

But alongside that, there are also a couple of brand new stills from the upcoming finale, both of which include The Boy Who Lived himself. One up close and personal with Voldemort, one looking defiant on the walkway.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is definitely set for The Dark Knight Rises. He'll play Alberto Falcone, who I believe is a serial killer. A peculiar, lesser-known villain choice alongside catwoman and bane, but I know that Nolan will pull it off.

Calling all Jack Bauer and 24 fans out there!!!


Kiefer Sutherland has promised fans that there will be a '24' movie next year.

A big screen version of the hit action show was expected this year. However, 20th Century Fox rejected Billy Ray's script, and one of the show's producers recently suggested that the film was on hold.

However, Sutherland still believes there will a hit version of the TV series, which ended last year.

He said on the US chat show 'The View', "Yes, it will come out in the summer of 2012."

Sutherland also recently stated that he has been in talks with Tony Scott about directing the movie.

The Magician's Nephew is set to become the fourth instalment of the Chronicles of Narnia film series, studio bosses have confirmed.

The book - the sixth in CS Lewis's fantasy series - is chronologically the first and reveals how Aslan the lion first created Narnia.

“We are starting to talk to Fox and talk to the CS Lewis estate now about The Magician’s Nephew being our next film," said Walden Media co-founder and president Michael Flaherty.

"If we can all agree to move forward, then what we would do is find someone to write the script. So, it could still be a couple of years.”

The third film, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which followed the same release pattern as the books, made a respectable $400m but now the film-makers are looking to head back in time.

“I love The Magician’s Nephew because it’s a great origin story," Flaherty added. "You get to learn so much about where the wardrobe came from, where the lamppost came from, where Narnia came from.”

The fourth book in the series and the logical next movie, The Silver Chair, does not have the same box office appeal as it's is also the first that doesn’t feature any of the Pevensie children.

Amy Adams Lands Superman's Lois Lane

We have a Man of Steel in Henry Cavill. And just this weekend, one actress found out that she's going to play the most important woman in his life as Amy Adams got the nod for the role of Lois Lane in Zack Snyder’s Superman.

The LA Times’ Geoff Boucher report that Snyder called Adams to let her know the news from Paris on Sunday, where he’s out on the Sucker Punch promotional tour.

And he then got on the phone to the paper to talk up his decision: “There was a big, giant search for Lois,” Snyder says. “For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.”

With the usual evasiveness, Snyder refused to fill in any details of how much Lane will actually appear in the film. But you’ve got to figure that they wouldn’t hire someone of Adams’ calibre for a glorified cameo. According to the director, she forms an important part of his vision for Supes. “It goes back to what I’ve said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What’s important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today’s audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him in tone and substance.” Let’s hope she’s not in the same universe as the Sucker Punch girls, or she’ll spend the movie in a halter-top and miniskirt…

Still, Adams is a solid choice as Lois, and she’s coming off a killer year that has seen her scoop an Oscar nomination for The Fighter and work with both Control’s Sam Riley and Kermit the Frog.

Snyder’s take on Superman starts shooting in August for a planned December 2012 release. Along with Cavill, he also has Diane Lane and Kevin Costner aboard to play Martha and Jonathan Kent. Now we need to know whom he’ll pick to play the villain…
