UPDATE: Super Hero Hype has received word from their sources within Sony that the delay is 100% related to a break for the holidays. Nothing more, nothing less. Work will get back up at the start of next year. Meanwhile, Aint It Cool News reports they heard similiar rumblings to what IESB first reported. Take all of that for what you will.
When you hear a movie is on "indefinite hold," its prospects of crawling out of Development Hell don’t sound encouraging. If the film in question is Spider-Man 4, it makes matters worse. We’re talking hundreds of millions of dollars and the career projectory of studio executives on the line here. Correction, I meant to say Spider-M4n. Yeah...
The good folks over at IESB have the exclusive lowdown. Even though production was long said to commence in the early months of next year, there is still no script. Yikes. In fact, there’s yet to be an agreement between Sam Raimi and Sony over which villain to use.
The director wants Vulture as reported earlier this month. Sorry, but that Vultress bit sounded like bullshit. The studio, on the other hand, would prefer a villain who wasn’t as "out there" looking. Not that I was against using him, but I can sympathize with Sony. Shouldn't they have already settled on this forever ago?
Furthermore, things are said to be getting pretty heated with plenty of "very pissed off" people involved in the production. One assumes Mr. Raimi is among them. In fact, a number of departments have been told to stop work until all of this gets sorted out.
With the film scheduled for a May 6, 2011 release and these productions starting up way ahead of time in order to finish the effects work, the longer this drags out the less likely this becomes. Let me rephrase that. It becomes less likely that a Sam Raimi directed Spider-M4n happens.
Then again, this could explain why Tobey Maguire is suddenly being looked at for The Hobbit.

True, we’ve heard this before. But it was nothing more than non-news at the time. A couple of months back Bryan Singer stated he’d be interested in returning to the X-Men franchise. Of course, we’re sure he’d also love to helm another Superman film and maybe that Star Trek movie he’s had in his head for years. Sorry, but someone saying they’re "interested" doesn’t automatically translate to "That means its happening!" like a lot of Internet fanboys tend to assume.
Welcome to the exception to that rule. The director revealed on the "blue carpet" at last night’s Avatar premiere in Los Angeles ("blue carpet," get it?) he’d recently signed on the dotted line to helm X-Men: The First Class. He’s already working on Jack the Giant Killer for Warner Brothers and it appears the plan is for him to jump immediately back on Team Mutie next.
What this means for the Battlestar Galactica reboot at Universal and that Excalibur remake with WB remains to be seen.
I’m 50/50 on this. On the plus side, Singer’s better strengths came out through his two X-Men films. Like it or hate it, he was one of the key filmmakers responsible for the superhero boom in the past decade. The real issue, for me, is this is a prequel to the first three films and a follow-up to last summer’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Now the guy responsible for this franchise has to adhere to continuity already established by him and the producers/screenwriters of X-Men: The Last Stand?
Granted, there were certain restraints placed on Bryan by the studio forcing him to work around issues like budget during X-Men and X2. "Art thrives on restrictions," anyone?
Special props go to Flickchart and our pals at Screen Rant for posting said information first!

Apple has released the trailer for "Iron Man 2" You can watch it there in really high quality that will tickle your senses or you can check it out below in not so good quality. Whichever path you choose know this, "Iron Man 2" will make a truckload of money.
Wed, December 16, 2009 Did Hot Tub Time Machine sound stupid beyond belief when it was first announced? Absolutely. Hell the first thing that popped in my head was "Did you need the money that much, John Cusack?" Yes, I had kept in mind that he'd already agreed to headline 2012. That thought didn't escape me.
Yahoo! Movies has the new trailer up for the comedy. Guess what? It's funny. Really, I swear! Check it out either at the link provided or below and you will too. Once again, Craig Robison (the scene-stealer from The Pineapple Express which itself was a film full of scene-stealing performances and Kevin Smith's Zack & Miri Make a Porno) got the biggest laughs outta me.

I was under the impression Disney was getting their shit together for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The last two sequels went into shooting without a finished script. It showed. Of course, both were monster hits so it was considered a moot point by everyone. Can’t say I’d argue with that logic.
Last we heard the script by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio was coming together and filming was moving forward this coming March. There was even indication that some casting had already begun. If that is in fact the case, someone forgot to tell its director Rob Marshall.
While doing press for his musical Nine, Marshall revealed to Coming Soon he’s yet to receive the screenplay. It doesn’t help matters when he stated to the news-site, "We're still trying to figure out if it's going to all happen." Uh-huh.
In addition, Johnny Depp’s decision to headline The Tourist has pushed the start date on the tentpole back to summer 2010. There still appears to be no specific release date marked in for Pirates 4. All we know so far is its coming summer 2011. Might the studio opt to push it back to the currently non-stuffed summer of 2012 like Star Trek 2 is doing? It’s altogether possible, sure. But I seriously doubt it.
To be fair, there is the chance that Marshall has been off the project and the Mouse has already moved on to another helmer. Hence he’s speaking from the outsider perspective.

No matter how many photos or videos I see of 'Alice In Wonderland', I can't get excited about it. I think I'm worn out. Yay, Burton and Depp are working together, again. It has lost its luster. They are both fantastic, but it is almost a turn off for me at this point. I'm sure the movie will fair well at the box office and maybe I'll come around, but for the rest of you here is a new trailer courtesy of First Showing.
Wed, December 16, 2009 I've already seen these photos, so have many others, but to some they are new. So below are some sort of new photos from the upcoming superhero flick "Iron Man 2". Check out Sam Rockwell's character Justin Hammer and Gwyneth Paltrow's character of Pepper Potts along with a behind the scenes look at director Jon Favreau in action.
