A Few Movie Headlines.
- It looks like the Grindhouse flop may have caused the sequel to Sin City into a long delay. "Sin City 2 is still likely to happen…just not right away." says Frank Miller. The script is written and Robert and I are raring to go, but it looks like I'm going to be doing The Spirit and Robert's going to be doing Barbarella first.
- The latest Comic Book to head to the Big Screen is the Teen Titans. Warner Bros. have gotten Akiva Goldsmith and Kerry Foster to produce the film and Mark Verheiden will work on the screenplay. As of now the only confirmed character that will be in the movie will be Nightwing. The other characters that may appear are Superboy, Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy, Terra, Jericho, Raven, and Wonder Girl. Goldsmith has said that the tone of the film will be in line with the most recent DC films and will not resemble the recent cartoon series.

- On The Dark Knight front, the Warner's have announced that the movie will not only be presented in IMAX but filmed in it as well. Chris Nolan will film up to four of the films sequences with the high end cameras. "The marriage of footage filmed with IMAX and 35mm cameras in the final feature will have a major impact on the audience's viewing experience, whether seeing "The Dark Knight" in an IMAX or traditional theatre. When the scenes shot on IMAX cameras are shown in IMAX theatres, the aspect ratio will morph to 1.43 to 1, expanding the image to fill the entire screen and magnifying the overall effect, both literally and figuratively." Also included are the latest production photos from the set.
