Daniel Radcliffe in Woman In Black

Hammer Films have unveiled the first official images from Daniel Radcliffe’s first post-Harry Potter film, The Woman In Black.

Though we’ve already glimpsed snaps of the Potter star shooting the film, these are the first releases sanctioned by the studio, and hint at the film’s gothic mood.

Radcliffe stars as a lawyer who is sent to a client’s isolated house in a remote village, and uncovers shocking secrets – while glimpsing a spooky woman dressed in black.

Kick-Ass’ Jane Goldman wrote the script, which is based on the novel by Susan Hill. James Eden Lake Watkins is directing.

Woman In Black opens in 2011.

Rachel McAdams might not be in Sherlock Holmes 2

Sherlock Holmes 2 is currently shooting, but Rachel McAdams is still not sure if she’ll be returning for the action sequel.

Talking with MTV this week, she revealed that the follow-up is still “in the process. They’re still doing script work, and we’ll see.”

The actress, who played Irene Adler in the first period detective film, went on to add that even if she appears in the movie, she won’t be getting much screen time.

“If I do, it won’t be a very big thing,” she said. As opposed to the first film, where her character barely had room to breathe wedged in-between Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law’s snippy banter.

Does this mean the Holmes 2 script is still being stitched together on set, much in the same way that Downey Jr.’s work on the Iron Man films consisted of last minute judgement calls?

Sherlock Holmes 2 is suddenly sounding very shaky indeed…

Little Fockers

The test of wills between Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) and Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) escalates to new heights of comedy in the third installment of the blockbuster series -- "Little Fockers." Laura Dern, Jessica Alba and Harvey Keitel join the returning all-star cast for a new chapter of the worldwide hit franchise.

It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get "in" with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack's suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back.

When Greg and Pam's entire clan -- including Pam's lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson) -- descends for the twins' birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he's fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack's final test and become the family's next patriarch... or will the circle of trust be broken for good?

Emma Thompson to Become a Man in Black?

Emma Thompson (Nanny McPhee, Harry Potter series) is reportedly in talks to star in Men in Black III as Oh, the head of the MiB. For the last two films, the organization has been run by Rip Torn's Zed, but his recent legal suggest that Thompson might have been hired specifically to replace him.

In January of this year, Torn, intoxicated, broke into the Lakeville, Connecticut branch of the Litchfield Bancorp bank, believing it to be his Lakeville residence. He was charged with carrying a firearm without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, second-degree criminal trespassing and third-degree criminal mischief.

The matter is being taken very seriously by the court, as this is far from the first time Torn's alleged alcohol abuse has gotten him into trouble. It's a shame, as Zed was always a fantastic part of the Men in Black movies.

In Men in Black III, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones will be reprising their roles as Agents J and K, with Josh Brolin (Jonah Hex, No Country For Old Men), playing a young Agent K and Jemaine Clement (Dinner for Schmucks, Flight of the Conchords) playing the film's antagonist Boris. Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed the first two films, returns to direct the third installment from a script by Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. The film is aiming for a May 25th, 2012 release and will be released in 3D.

What do you think of Josh Brolin playing a younger version of Jones's Agent K? More importantly, what do you think it means for the plot? It could be a simple flashback, or, being a sci-fi movie, we could be looking at a time travel plot.

Marvel planning War Machine spin-off

Marvel Studios are gearing up for a massive couple of years, with Thor and Captain America scheduled for 2011, and The Avengers arriving in 2012.

The studio has already announced plans for Iron Man 3 for 2013, and if reports circling Hollywood are to be believed, they are also planning a spin-off for Iron Man sidekick War Machine.

In the comics, the War Machine is the nickname of a heavily weaponised suit of armour created by Tony Stark, but used by his colleague, Air Force Colonel James 'Rhodey' Rhodes.

Don Cheadle wore the War Machine suit in Iron Man 2 and is expected to reprise his role in The Avengers, so with news of a spin-off it would seem Marvel have the star locked in to a multi-picture deal.
Expect more single character spin-off news as Marvel look to fill their post-Avengers schedule.

So War Machine? Or war, what is it good for? Leave a comment!
