The Incredible Hulk
Tim Roth said here at Sci Fi Wire he was committed to keep the Abonimation human and relatable: "We talked about that from the beginning, before we even ended up in front of a camera. [Blonsky] has a real problem with authority, even within the military, which is where he operates. We were looking for things that could carry right through to the actual monster at the very end, so there is a real echo. You can see Blonsky in the Abomination. I talked a lot to the CG animators about how I'd like to him to operate and function. It's good."
The Avengers
The producers of "The Incredible Hulk," Gale Anne Hurd and Kevin Feige, spoke to SCI FI Wire saying that elements of that film lay groundwork for a film adaptation of Marvel's "The Avengers." Hurd said: "It's nice to be able to let things evolve, and we set things up with this film. We have Tim Blake Nelson playing Dr. Samuel Sterns, and anyone who is a fan of the comic books knows that Samuel Sterns turns into the Leader, so there is an opportunity to explore that. It's in this film, but for people who aren't aware of that, it's not confusing." At the New York Comic Con, filmmakers confirmed rumors that Iron Man's Robert Downey Jr. appearing in Hulk; showing a scene between William Hurt's Gen. Ross and Downey's Tony Stark at a bar. Feige said: "I can definitely say that part of the fun of doing all these characters in-house now, the ones we have the rights to, is all about being able to bring something that has never been on screen before, which is the Marvel Universe. Any comic book reader knows that you can flip through any given issue of a comic and not know who to expect popping into a panel. That's part of the fun of what Stan [Lee] and Jack [Kirby] did so many years ago, by intertwining these characters. We haven't had that ability until now."

Disneynature
Remember Disney's "True-Life Adventures" series that ran from 1948 through 1960? The studio has announced they have created a new film company called Disneynature to produce documentary films like those. It will be based outside of Paris and headed by Jean-François Camilleri, who joined with Disney to produce "March of the Penguins" in 2005.
Rose McGowan has answered rumors claiming the remake of "Barbarella" will be shelved because producers want a more famous lead. Robert Rodriguez (who has a personal relationship with McGowan) is directing the film. McGowan insists there is no truth to the reports, saying a delay in production is due to a potential actors strike. She said: "It (the rumor) was irritating, very malicious and there was no proof."
