X-Files 2 Movie Returning in 2008 – In an interview over at IESB.net with David Duchovny, he told them that they are finishing final negotiations and could start filming by early 2008 if not sooner.

The Bourne Ultimatum – The very first exclusive international trailer has debuted and you can watch it right here.

A few more new casting details courtesy of JoBlo today reveal more about National Treasure 2. It’s already filming in Washington DC at the moment, but the remaining cast has only been revealed recently.

There’s no real justification to say that, but there are two big movies in the last week that are both being directed by big directors and are focused on WWII. The first is “Valkyrie”, directed by “X-Men” and “Superman Returns” director Bryan Singer, and the second is “Inglorious Bastards” directed by “Grindhouse” and “Kill Bill” director Quentin Tarantino.

Valkyrie
Tells the story of real-life Nazi officer Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg who, along with several others, carried out the famous assassination attempt on Hitler in July 1944. The most interesting news – von Stauffenberg may be played by Tom Cruise.

Inglorious Bastards
Tells the story of a group of soldiers on their way to be executed, when they get the chance of a reprieve. Tarantino has described them as “not your normal hero types that are thrown into a big deal in World War II.” The part that gets me with this is that it’s Tarantino. He’s truly remarkable, just look at any of his movies, and now he’s tackling World War II?! Sounds like one hell of a film experience to me. This has been in discussion for a long time and older mentions stated that the script would be incredibly long and may end up being a 2 or 3 part movie, somewhat like Kill Bill.

In general, Hollywood filmmakers follow the laws of physics because they have no other choice. It’s just when they cheat with special effects that we seem to forget how the world really works.

Warner Bros. is so excited about 300, Snyder’s adaptation of Frank Miller’s Greek-history-as-superhero tale, that they handed him the keys to Alan Moore’s Watchmen, another sacred text for comics fans.

Snyder, a commercial director whose debut feature Dawn of the Dead was a surprise hit in 2004, filmed the ultraviolent 300 on a Montreal sound stage. After recording real actors doing fake battle, he added heavily manipulated digital backdrops. Like Robert Rodriguez with Sin City, Snyder went to enormous lengths to precisely match Miller’s eerie landscapes.

300 re-imagines the true story of a small band of Spartan soldiers led by King Leonidas (played by Gerard Butler). The Spartans held off an enormous army of Persians that was commanded by Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and bent on conquering Greece.
