Well it's coming up to the American Presidential elections and rather than ask that age old question, “who are the best fictional U.S. Presidents in film?” I thought I'd open it up to the rest of the world and ask, who have given the best portrayals of World Leaders in film? Now that doesn't mean U.S. Presidents are excluded from the list, just that we're looking at the rest of the world too.
I have to admit I found that quite hard, although when I started thinking about it names started to appear, and not just of American Presidents, in fact American Presidents seemed to be the harder to find.
Brolin has been talking about the film he's been rumoured to be attached to, Jonah Hex, and from what he's saying he either doesn't think he's going to be in the film, doesn't want to be chosen for it, or he doesn't believe it's going to be made, for he's having a real go at it and Hex fans will be wondering what's going on.
Not just with one more film either, it seems that Universal are securing the future of Bourne to make more and more and more Bourne films until we're so dizzy and confused we'll throw up.
Oh we hear this a lot, we really do, but apparently Oldboy will not be a remake. Really, and right from the lips of Will Smith 
A little while ago we heard the rumour that Matthew McConaughey was going to be, along with Captain America, Magnum P.I., well that seems to be debunked now, along with the idea that we're going to see a Magnum P.I. Film.
We have a couple of stars saying the wrong thing about the respective films that they are appearing in today, and here's Chris Pine talking about Star Trek and putting a little bit of an inadvertent damper on the whole event.
I have to admit I've been rather sceptical about The Wrestler, although on paper it has an interesting set of ingredients, Darren Aronofsky, Mickey Rourke, Evan Rachel Wood and Marisa Tomei, but the idea of a has been wrestler making one last attempt at a comeback wasn't really grabbing me.
The trailer for the new Burt Reynolds comedy has arrived online, yes Burt Reynolds comedy. No, don't hit the next button just yet, listen to what I have to say. There are some funny moments and it's rather self depreciating too, something that really does work in comedy with a big star.
Astro Boy has a teaser. The iconic character from Japan during the 1950's who also appeared on television in the 1960's, has arrived in the modern day with Hollywood CGI, and this short teaser suggests drama and action. Of course that's a tiny glimpse of the film itself, but it's looking interesting, especially since the character appears to be able to do just about anything.
I love how the Ice Age trailers keep a theme going, and although the films themselves aren't fighting for the top spot in CGI, they keep the heart of the films continuing. The trailer for Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs isn't that different, and carries on that theme wonderfully.
Not only has the director been swapped again for the big screen adaptation of The Killer Inside Me from Jim Thompson's novel (
/ 
), which I enjoyed reading, but there's a new name associated with the casting, and I think it's a better choice for the lead than Casey Affleck.
Mum & Dad, the British horror from writer and director Steven Sheil, has arrived online and it's looking pretty unnerving. While it doesn't give away too much story or much horror, it does certainly make you feel very uncomfortable and give you the feeling that some seriously bad things are about to happen.
Good television shows get cancelled in the U.S., that's just the way it happens, in fact that seems to be the norm rather than the exception. There's a good television show that starts up, gets some crazy scheduling thing going on (like mid season breaks and simple day and time changes) and then it disappears and gets cancelled – big surprise, no one knows when it's on!
Max Brooks, the man who wrote the book World War Z, has been talking about the treatment that it has received in Hollywood, and he sounds more than positive, in fact he sounds utterly excited.
Yes it looks like there could be a third Night at the Museum, and although there's all no comments at the moment, there's enough there to show willingness from all those concerned to repeat the story again in a different museum – this could go on for as many famous museums as there are in the U.S., maybe even abroad.
