		<description><![CDATA[UPDATED: 

E! Entertainment have confirmed a February 14th scoop that Scarlett Johansson will play Black Widow, the soviet spy who has a good side in IRON MAN 2. 

The role firmly sets her up for future movies, including THE AVENGERS in 2012. 



Nikki Finke claims Johansson screen-tested for the role at the beginning of the year but lost out to Emily Blunt, but now Blunt is travelling with Jack Black's Gulliver, they went back to her and offered Johansson the part. 

Physically she's not right, her acting style only suits love triangle drama's from what I've seen... it's kinda like asking Marilyn Monroe to play TOMB RAIDER. 

Blunt was just right for the role... Johansson may be out of her depth here. When an actress like Eliza Dushku lobbied so hard for the role, I think Favreau dropped the ball on this one. 

A further update, Variety adds that Rourke will be playing both Whiplash and Crymson Dynamo, some kind of mixing of two villains. 

END OF UPDATE...

"A significant" higher offer from Marvel than the $250,000 that was originally put on the table has secured the signature of Mickey Rourke for IRON MAN 2 according to Nikki Finke. 



Holding out for a better deal, just as Samuel L. Jackson ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon Favreau has confirmed to E! (via The Playlist) that 20th Century Fox have used their pre-agreed option from THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA to nab actress Emily Blunt for one of the their tentpoles, casting her in GULLIVER'S TRAVELS, the upcoming adventure comedy starring Jack Black. 

So it's confirmed she is out as Black Widow, which really sucks because she was the perfect actress for the role but of course she can't be in two places at once.



Filming on IRON MAN 2 will begin in just over two months so Favreau is likely to already be deep into the process of finding her replacement....

 

 Now that Emily Blunt is out, who should play Emily Blunt in IRON MAN 2?
 ( polls) 



Scarlett Johansson was rumored a few weeks ago to replace Blunt. Her recent hair dye has also fuelled this speculation, though I can't help but feel she is no good for a superhero role. And imaging her doing a Russian accent is a dreadful worry.



DOLLHOUSE actress Eliza Dushku has lobbyed for the part on Howard Stern and would be a really solid choice...
"They’re doing Iron Man 2, and I’m so perfect for the Black Widow character, that they just need to get into ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to EW's sources, if Emily Blunt bails on IRON MAN 2 to work with Jack Black on the comedy adventure film GULLIVER'S TRAVELS at Fox... then replacing her as Black Widow in the Marvel sequel might be Scarlett Johansson. 

Their "sources around Hollywood" claim that Johansson is interested in the role which will lead onto bigger things in future films and Marvel of course are attracted by the big name. 

I do genuinely like Johansson and despite her struggling to look comfortable in any role since MATCH POINT four years ago, I do think she is a really talented actress. She just needs the right material to shine and someone who knows how to use her because her range doesn't cover anything. 

In my opinion, this is not the role for her. She doesn't have the figure of the Black Widow, the acting style or the believability to pull it off quite as easily as Emily Blunt, who after all was the perfect casting choice. 

I could see Johansson as the seductive Poison Ivy in a Batman film but not as a superhero/villain in the IRON MAN franchise. 

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS begins production on April 15th. IRON MAN 2 will shoot around then but currently ...]]></description>

Determined to keep his beloved Central City safe, the Spirit pursues Central City’s villains from the shadows and seeks to remove the worst of them all; the megalomaniac known as the Octopus. Yet as busy as his ongoing mission keeps him, the dashing crusader always manages to make time for beautiful women, though he never quite knows if they want to seduce, love or kill him. But there is one lady who will never betray him, and to whom he will always be true: Central City, the proud old metropolis where he was born – twice.’


Thursday, December 4th, and THE SPIRIT production is on full charm offensive at a press conference in the relatively intimate Roseby Room of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Knightsbridge. On hand are some of the principal principals and free coffee, which I drank too much of… but more on that later.

The evening before, an equally select group of lucky journos, and one person who seemed to be looking for a place to have a nap, sat down at a preview screening house to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matt here and delighted to tell you that Woody Allen has finally secured a British release date for VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA. Though it won't be till February... you could probably get the Region 1 DVD imported by then! Oh well!

This was in my top five anticipated movies of 2008 and it's so cool to read that Oliver believes the movie gets Allen back to his MATCH POINT best...

It pleases me to report that Woody Allen's lastest film VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA is a warm, welcome return to comedic form that sees the director revived by an exotic fresh new location, a talented cast of recently accomplished actors, gorgeous sun-drenched aesthetics (courtesy of Pedro Almodovar's regular DP Javier Aguirresarobe) and a script that is probably Allen's best written work in 20 years.



BARCELONA concerns two young American women taking vacation in the romantic resides of the titular Spanish haunt. Vicky (Rebecca Hall) is a head-strong conservative type who is a grad student and is set to marry the idealistic man of her dreams, while Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) is a sexually adventurous aspiring short-filmmaker who likes to experience life on the edge.

The two girls meet Spanish charmer Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), an impressionable painter ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the second Friday in a row, we have a new poster of a sexy seductress from The Spirit.

This time it's Scarlett Johansson as Silken Floss, Denny Colt's gorgeous but low on fashion sense secretary...

Last week we got a glimpse at Eva Mendes playing Sand Saref, with a similar head poster which also carried the awful black font across her face.

Next week can we expect a poster of Sarah Poulson, Jaime King, Paz Vega or even Samuel L. Jackson?

Gabriel Macht plays The Spirit - I would expect his character poster to be last as the run up to this festive release continues.

		<description><![CDATA[Better than the last artwork, that's for sure.

From the trailer and marketing of Frank Miller's quickly approaching adaptation of The Spirit, it sure looks like Eva Mendes is the lead female out of the beauties Scarlett Johansson, Paz Vega, Jaime King and Sarah Poulson.

She plays Sand Saref (not to be confused with the font!), the childhood sweetheart of Denny Colt (the title character played by Gabriel Macht) who turned to the wrong side of the law... 

As I say it's definitely an improvement on what we have seen so far. I like the film noir theme of it but the black text on the side of her face looks awful. Also I would have preferred a bigger title for The Spirit and it's certainly an odd choice having jewellery hanging out of her mouth.

Despite Miller's desperate attempts to tell us otherwise, this still feels like a spin-off to Sin City, all that would need to be changed in the marketing would be the title.

We have six months worth of posters, trailers, interviews and set images to go before we need to make up our mind on what this flick is going to be like but Christmas feels like it comes ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matt here... Eugenio is currently out enjoying the Sun in Cannes and has been sending us some of his thoughts from the festival. First off, he got to see Woody Allen's latest movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona and sent us this very early review which you can read after the image...

Not surprisingly, Woody Allen decided to open his new film out of competition here at Cannes - the director hates attending and receiving
prizes. But the film was nevertheless very well received here at the festival and it is undoubtedly his most crowd pleasing and accessible film
for years.

A story of two girls finding love and questioning their own approach to life, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" follows closely the template of Allen's recent Melinda and Melinda in examining and contrasting the different psychologies of two women. Its mix of tragedy and comedy, and a very heavy use of voiceovers, is also very reminiscent of the 2004 film.

Both Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) travel to Barcelona for some change from their New York setting and are soon involved with passionate artist Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem) who can't forget the tempestuos marriage he had with fellow artist Maria Helena (Penelope Cruz). The usual exchange ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Woody Allen ditches London,  his "home away from home" for the first time in a few years and flies off to explore another part of Europe with Vicky Cristina Barcelona - a love quadruple flick (there's four people, so it can't be a triangle) that will debut at Cannes next week.

The movie stars Academy Award Winner Javier Bardem - no longer with that creepy hairstyle from No Country For Old Men and now very much back to his charming ways as he gets to bed not only Rebecca Hall - not only Penelope Cruz but Scarlett Johansson to.

And the word is - and the trailer certainly hints as much - that there's a passionate three way between Johansson, Cruz and Bardem. Oh yes, that's something I've dreamed off many nights - those two lovely ladies have been my number 1 and number 2 obsessions ever since Open Your Eyes and Ghost World.

The plot - as if you care at this point is that Bardem is a painter who enters a relationship with two American tourists (Hall &#38; Johansson) which makes his ex-girlfriend jealous (Cruz). It's a Woody Allen movie which recently has meant tempers flare and not everyone ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So now we have Samuel L. Jackson in a suit for The Spirit - completely different to the attire he was wearing in those leaked photo's last week (which we forced to take down but I'm sure you could find them if you do some searching) and Scarlett Johnsson with some kind of weird pilot hat on? Or is it a fetish attire?

Now that we are starting to see some finished photo's from the film with the background in place it is after all beginning to look like Sin City (as the posters suggested) and not Will Eisner's vision.

Is Miller shooting two different movies here - a Miller version and an Eisner version?

I'm so confused. I wanted to see something in "The Spirit" of something like the 90's adaptation of The Shadow but I would have reluctantly settled for another Film Noir esque-Sin City BUT I guess it looks closest too Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

We are getting a trailer next weekend when Miller debuts it at the New York Comic Con. Things should be an awful lot clearer then!

		<description><![CDATA[You know I was saying yesterday that Frank Miller's version of The Spirit was likely NOT to be the goofy version of the character and instead a depiction of the detective as if he were Batman living in Miller's Sin City world?

Well pleasantly, I'm happy to say I'm wrong. The Spirit is goofy. He's not too far removed from Adam West's Batman of the 60's, The Green Hornet and very much akin to the comic books and detective radio serials of the 40's and 50's and these pictures capture that beautifully.

And I should have known it all along. It's Frank Miller - no one loves Eisner's original vision more than him. I mean they were pals, he aint' gonna disrespect the character.

DON'T dismiss these images because the photo's of the characters look goofy. The same could have been said about both 300 and Sin City during it's production. Wait until the you see what they look like with the green screen.

I don't know how long we can keep these photo's online but for now, here's MANY shots from the set of the film from Dark Horizons...

		<description><![CDATA[After suffering through the outrageously dramatic and silly Elizabeth: The Golden Age last year, only barely surviving because of the fantastic and powerful performance yet again from Cate Blanchett - I can't say I was particularly looking forward to watching another tudor melodrama play out the same tired old themes of lust and greed in the 15th century despite the additions of the lovely Natalie Portman and especially my darling Scarlett Johansson.

Though in truth I shouldn't have worried about this movie being overly dramatic. The Other Boleyn Girl is too weak of a film to really get into and enjoy but also it's not silly, camp or sexy enough to be entertaining. It's like on the complete opposite end of the dramatic scale of the Elizabeth movie. It's so dull, so without style, so clumsily acted and directed, so vacant that I honestly believed I was watching one of those David Starkey historical reenactments.

You know the one's I mean, with the really hammy acting from faceless names who play out the material so mediocre and without emotion, for the historian to then come out and tell us what the characters were feeling with the mundane signature score playing in the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Weinsteins have snapped up a Woody Allen film again and here's hoping they do a better job of marketing and releasing the pic than they did with his last movie CASSANDRA'S DREAM. The movie which unbelievably was a cool looking crime/thriller SET IN ENGLAND with BRITISH ACTORS Colin Farrell, Ewan McGregor and Tom Wilkinson didn't even secure a theatrical release in the U.K. despite the Weinsteins distributing the movie in other foreign markets and of course in the U.S.

Though a U.S. release is one way of putting it. Dumping the film is another! The widest release the Weinsteins gave it was 105 theatres, which has earned the movie a pitiful $742, 212 domestic.

So it's time to move on and look forward to VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA...

Finally we have a plot for the movie, which I have been dreaming about ever since I heard Penelope Cruz, Rebecca Hall and Scarlett Johansson would be together on screen...
Just as New York City was the backdrop in Woody Allen's Manhattan, the stunning city of Barcelona is the setting for the romantic adventures of Vicky and Cristina. These two young Americans spend a summer in Spain and meet a flamboyant artist (Bardem) and his beautiful ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The "Women shouldn't really be that beautiful' actress Scarlett Johansson is to mesmerize Matt again on the big screen as she has just signed up to play the femme fatale in Frank Miller's adaptation of The Spirit!!!

Wow, I'm not sure which gets me excited more... the thought of Johansson in a Frank Miller period movie or those Batman images above. Actually I do... it's the Batman images. Women come second when it involves The Dark Knight!

Scarlett was born to be in this sort of movie. She, much like I said last week about Carla Gugino (who concidentially I was just about to write a feature campaigning for her to be cast in this role) has that timeless mid-20th century movie look, where you just keeping thinking to yourself, she wasn't meant to be born in this era. Women don't look like her these days.

The Spirit is really coming together now then. We have our lead in Gabriel Macht who will be donning the mask and we believe the villain will be played by Samuel L. Jackson and now we hear Johansson is the woman figure. Love that cast and production is set to begin in October for a 2009 release.

Thanks ...]]></description>
