James Cameron, whose fearless exploits have taken him everywhere from the Amazon rain forest to the brink of war with Glenn Beck, has a new proving ground in mind for his 3-D adventures. And I’m not talking about the high seas of Pandora , which even he knows is for chumps. The man is going to Mars.

Mickey Rourke Clueless About Iron Man 2

What is it with the Iron Man villains? After Jeff Bridges famously said that there was “no script” for the first Iron Man — and actually compared it to a student film — here’s Mickey Rourke claiming he didn’t even bother reading whatever script there was for the sequel. Says Rourke: “I’ve only read my part. I had no idea what was going on in the movie, really.” Dear Paramount: Get that in the marketing materials, stat! [ MTV /Splash Page ]

Tyler Perry to Battle Self in Spring 2011

It’s not unusual for directors to have two films come out in the same year, but Lionsgate isn’t giving Tyler Perry much breathing room. The studio announced today that they will distribute Madea’s Big Happy Family on April 22 of next year, even though his adaptation of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf is slated for January 14. He hasn’t even shot either one yet. Looks like someone’s overcompensating ! [ Deadline ]

SPOILER: What’s the Secret Scene After the Iron Man 2 Credits?

As we told you yesterday, there are already some wildly different reactions to Iron Man 2 : there are those who find it “mind-numbingly dull,” and those who think it “f***ing rocks balls.” If you’re the latter, you’ll want to wait until after the end credits to see just what easter egg Marvel has planted, hinting at their next film. If you’re the former, you’ll just want to read this post and be done with it.

Meet Fabrice Yahyaoui: The Breakout Movie Star of 2010!

In a competitive time for everyone, it takes that extra little something to stand out.

Bill Murray Craps on Ghostbusters 3 Once Again

Bill Murray has been so publicly dismissive about the mere possibility of Ghostbusters 3 — remember when he called it his ” nightmare ?” — that it’s hard to believe he hasn’t just burned his old costume in effigy at this point. In fact, based on his latest round of “let me cut this project off at the knees” quotes, it feels like the best way for Murray to get whatever revenge he’s looking for would be to simply appear in the sequel, cash his big check and put in as much effort as he did on Charlie’s Angels .
