First Look At Russell Crowe As "Robin Hood"

USA Today has released a photo of Russell Crowe in costume from Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood". The retelling of the story of the bandit who steals from the rich and gives to the poor reunites "Gladiator" star Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott.

"He doesn't have the old Robin Hood tights," says producer Brian Grazer. "He's got armour. He's very medieval. He looks, if anything, more like he did in Gladiator than anything we're used to seeing with Robin Hood."

"Robin Hood" is scheduled for release in North America on May 14, 2010.

"Transformers 2" Showest Footage

MichaelBay.com has uploaded a new footage from "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" which premiered at this year's Showest. The footage features Shia LaBeouf talking to Bumblebee about going to college, followed by various clips from the film. Now, I would like to know how the hell is it possible for a giant robot to shed tears?

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is scheduled for release on June 24, 2009.

UPDATE: Paramount Pictures is currently removing the above footage from the internet. According to Michael Bay's blog, this is what he has to say:

"The Showest footage was pulled down because it was just a 12-hour thing. I just wanted the fans to get a taste of what we have been making for a year and a half because we have been so quiet. The piece was cut about a month ago for this Showest thing I accepted this past month - so as you can see many of the shots were far from being finished renders".

"Steven Spielberg sat next to me in a big 100 person theatre at Sony today. There were 98 empty seats. The lights came up after we just watched my cut of Revenge of the Fallen.

I just hope the fans like it."

Fox Chairman Speaks About "Wolverine" Leak

Last Tuesday an unfinished version of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" has been leaked onto the Internet for fans to download. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, 20th Century Fox chairman Tom Rothman has this to say:

"The version that went out is unfinished. It's about 10 minutes shorter, doesn't have key scenes, it wasn't edited, and none of the effects shots were in any remotely final form. It's a complete misrepresentation of the film and is deeply unfair to the people who have worked on it for years."

Rothman also says that the FBI is zeroing in on the culprits and he feels confident that they'll be able to name the perpetrators soon. Early reports named Rising Sun Pictures, an Australian special effects house that worked on the movie, as a possible suspect due to a watermark with their logo on some scenes. However, they have denied any wrongdoing and claim to only have in possession individual sections of the film, not the complete print. Regardless, this incident will most certainly change the way the studio does business with special effects houses and post production facilities in the future.

Donnie Yen Will Fight Sammo Hung In "Ip Man 2"

It is announced at a pre-production press conference last Tuesday that "Ip Man 2" will start filming on August 2009. The sequel will be set in 1949, and is about how Ip Man introduces and propagates 'Wing Chun' in Hong Kong.

Sammo Hung, the martial arts choreographer of the first film, will be stepping in front of the camera for the sequel as a 'Hung Gar' style master. 'Hung Gar' is a southern Chinese martial art whose most famous practitioner was folk hero Wong Fei Hung. Sammo Hung says jokingly, "As boss didn't pay me in the first, I wouldn't appear in front of the screen. This time I'm getting paid, so I'll be playing a role too."

Holy crap! This is the best news I've heard all day. I've been wishing to see the two screen legends face-off again ever since watching "SPL". For those who have yet to watch the first installment, check out the video clip below for a taste of what to expect in the sequel.
