DOWNEY SUITING UP FOR THIRD IRON MAN MOVIE?
Source: ComingSoon.net
Robert Downey Jr. was at ShoWest last week promoting the fall release of the Todd Phillips comedy Due Date which teams him with comedian Zach Galifianakis.
ComingSoon.net/SuperHeroHype was there and we spoke to Downey, but didn’t have any time to ask him anything Iron Man-related in the mayhem of our interview, but one of the other outlets Downey spoke to was The Associated Press.
Everyone has been well aware (or at least we’ve all assumed) that Downey’s Iron Man would play a pivotal part in Marvel Studios’ planned The Avengers, but whether he’d do an Iron Man 3 before or after has only been hinted at but never confirmed.

MARVEL’S DIRECTOR DECISION: WHO SHOULD ASSEMBLE THE AVENGERS?
Source: cinemablend.com
Now that Captain America has been cast it’s time for Marvel to take the next big step forward on their multiple-movie, superhero universe project. Everything they’ve done and will do in Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, and The First Avenger: Captain America culminates in a still far off summer tent pole team-up movie called Avengers. For Marvel it’s a monumentally important film, but perhaps even more critically a desperately difficult one. Whoever ends up directing it will be tasked with handling a massive ensemble cast of established stars, a huge budget, a massively effects heavy movie, decades worth of established comics mythology, and the unreachable expectations of a billion fanboys. Directing The Avengers will require a special sort of talent.

‘BUCK ROGERS’ IN SPACE! IN 3D! WITH …PAUL W.S ANDERSON

Imagine this: you’re a pilot. You get knocked out. You come to in the future, and…you’re being manhandled by the guy who directed Event Horizon.
Let’s not mince words – Paul W.S. Anderson is not what you’d call a talented director. He, for the most part, has churned out sub-par action flicks that barely register on any level of enjoyability.
Fortunately for us all, he’s still working and has just signed on for a sweet new gig directing a film version of Buck Rogers – the spaceman who was first launched in the 1920s.

RYAN GOSLING, BLOODSUCKER?’ AMERICAN VAMPIRE’ CREATOR SCOTT SNYDER LIKES THE IDEA
Source: la times
When it was announced in October that Scott Snyder’s new monthly comic book series, “American Vampire” from Vertigo, would feature the contribution of suspense novelist Stephen King, it wasn’t long before the phone started ringing.
“We got all these crazy phone calls from movie producers wanting to know when they could see it, who they should cast in it. … It was nuts,” Snyder said. “It only existed as a script then, and DC and Vertigo weren’t showing it. It hasn’t physically existed until now. … Hopefully, people will still be interested.”
The comic book’s first story arc, which hit shelves last week, centers on two primary characters in two different eras — aspiring actress Pearl in the 1920s and violent cowboy-turned-vampire Skinner Sweet in the 1880s.
So who does Snyder, best known for his short stories, think would best be suited to play the merciless Skinner should the comic be made into a movie?
