So is the Invisible WOMAN, but that didn't stop them from casting Alba.

That's because the people who cast Jessica Alba are IDIOTS.

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Artistically, yes, but financially, no. Alba would probably attract more customers than say, Naomi Watts* or Bellucci.

*I'm not sure if that name is right. I was reffering to the blonde actress from "The Ring"...

Why do I feel "Wonder Woman the Movie" will be like "Charlie's Angels The Movie"? Perhaps because kids today rather watch a McG movie than a Orson Welles movie?

I cannot respect a director with a name like "McG". Or "Pitof" for that matter.

I second Sessler's query.

Still, a Wonder Woman movie would probably be a small disaster, but there's no shame in trying.

Church Will Try to Squash Hero in 'Spidey 3'
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Thomas Haden Church, who was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor in "Sideways," has been cast as Spidey's new archenemy in the next chapter of the "Spider-Man" franchise.

Director Sam Raimi made the announcement Monday along with producers Laura Ziskin and Marvel Studios' Avi Arad.

"Spider-Man 3," which is scheduled for release May 4, 2007, will reunite the team that was responsible for the first two blockbuster films, which combined to gross more than $1.5 billion in worldwide ticket sales.

The new film will again star Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and Kirsten Dunst (news) is expected to reprise her role as Mary Jane Watson. Production on "Spider-Man 3" is scheduled to begin early next year.

"In addition to the ongoing relationship between Peter Parker and M.J., these films are driven by the great actors who have brought our villains to life," Raimi said. "Thomas Haden Church will be a fantastic and challenging new nemesis, and we all look forward to working with him."

The filmmakers are not revealing the identity of the new villain.

Church is voicing one of the characters in the upcoming animated film "Charlotte's Web," and he recently appeared in Columbia Pictures' "Spanglish."

The actor's other credits include the films "George of the Jungle," "3000 Miles to Graceland," "Monkeybone" and "Tombstone." In 2003, he starred in, co-wrote and directed the comedy "Rolling Kansas." On the small screen, Church played Lowell Mather on the NBC series "Wings" from 1990-95 and starred on the 1995-97 Fox comedy "Ned and Stacey."

And will this be as good as the original two?

Vaughn Leads 'X-Men' Into Third Battle
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Matthew Vaughn has been enlisted to direct "X-Men 3" for 20th Century Fox.

Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine, is set to return; the studio, which anticipates reassembling the series' principal cast, is in negotiations with Ian McKellen, Halle Berry (news) and Patrick Stewart.

The project will begin filming in mid-July for release May 26, 2006, which marks the beginning of Memorial Day weekend.

A search for a new director for the third movie in the franchise was triggered when Bryan Singer, who helmed the first two and was expected to direct the third, opted in July to relaunch Warner Bros. Pictures' Superman franchise. "Superman Returns" began principal photography Monday.

Writers for "X-Men 3" are Zak Penn and Simon Kinberg.

Vaughn, who produced the Guy Ritchie-directed films "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch," last year directed the British gangster film "Layer Cake," starring Daniel Craig. Vaughn also is attached to direct "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." for Warner Bros.

I imagine he'll be Eddie Brock, the anti-Peter Parker photographer who gets possessed by the Venom symbiote. I could see him in that role for sure.

They are doing a TV version of "The man from UNCLE"? Jesus, Hollywood IS dead.

You mean a Hollywood movie version? Because it already is a TV show.

Isn't it a little early to bring in Venom? Okay, not early but they should really finish up the thing with Harry Osborne first before they do Venom.

I hear Cyclops may appear in a "reduced role" for X3. I ask you: reduced compared to WHAT? Cyclops barely existed in the first two X-Men films as it is, the only way you could possibly reduce his role anymore would be to just write him out entirely. It saddens me greatly, since I'm a bit of a Cyclops fan.

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

If anything they should decrease Wolverine's role(and hopefully snuff Halle's role out completely).

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll break continuity to cast someone who deserves an oscar as Storm.

I've already placed my vote for who should replace Halle.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

There's only one way to settle this: do a "First Secret Wats Saga" movie. Now that would be awesome to see...

Oooohhh... me likey. Me likey lots.

I can't remember who it was that Gundark wanted either. It's been a little while but I do remember discussing it at one point in time.

I agree that there should be a little less focus on Wolvie. I'm getting a bit tired of Hugh Jackman right now. I'd like to see some more with Jean Grey and her transformation to Dark Phoenix. And I want some Colossus in this next one. A bit more Nightcrawler would be pretty cool as well.

Was Sabretooth killed off in the first one? It's been a while since I've seen it and I don't remember. If not, I want him and Pyro to be the main baddies alongside Magneto.

Gina Torres, aka Anna Espinosa from Alias. Here's a pic:

In case you have any doubts, this woman can seriously kick ass, and she's a better actor than Halle by miles.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

It doesn't take much to be able to do that.

More Colossus would be great, along with Beast and more Cyclops, but odds are Cyclops will get axed.

The Wolverine overexposure gets old after a while; less Wolvie and more of everyone else would be nice.
