The Losers
IGN has posted this story that says Columbus Short (from K.C.

The Fighter
IGN tells us here that Christian Bale will join Mark Wahlberg in the cast of the David O. Russell directed 2011 movie.

The Nye Incidents
CHUD says here that Joel Silver and his Dark Castle Productions has optioned the comic book by Whitley Strieber. Here is the synopsis of the "Fictional story - supposedly based on real event.": "Lynn Devlin is a medical examiner who thinks she has seen everything Nye County has to throw at her. She copes with methodical, rational logic. But when a grotesque murder of a supposed alien abductee occurs that cannot be solved with her scalpel and microscope, Lynn finds her detachment is shattered, and her dreams haunted by large, dark, oval-shaped eyes. Now, only one thing is certain: There's a killer loose in the alien abductee community... human or otherwise!" The film will be directed by Todd Lincoln.

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
SciFiWire reports here that Joss Whedon is certain about a sequel and considering the possibility of a feature version. Whedon said: "Well, we don't want to be beholden to anybody… We want to do the product the same way we did the first one, which is out of our hearts, and then go to people [and say], 'OK, if you're interested in this, this is what it is.' Besides, it could be something theatrical. It could be something on the Internet again, where it's done on the fly and it all comes from us. We don't know how we want that to be. The best thing to do is to write it. Then we can start deciding a business model based on the script. We've talked about doing an actual studio film, and we've talked about doing an independent tiny little thing… We've talked about everything in between, the bumper sticker, whatever format."
The Hobbit
Empire Online says here that Guillermo Del Toro and Peter Jackson spoke to them about the films. Del Toro said: "We've decided to have The Hobbit span the two movies, including the White Council and the comings and goings of Gandalf to Dol Guldur. We all agree that if we do our job right, it should all feel like a continuous journey. That's what we’re striving for….You should see a movie that's five pictures long. If we do our job right, you put in 'The Hobbit' and you wind up watching the entire Pentology!" Jackson said: "We decided it would be a mistake to try to cram everything into one movie… The essential brief was to do The Hobbit, and it allows us to make The Hobbit in a little more style, if you like, of the [LOTR] trilogy." The first of The Hobbit films is scheduled to be released in December, 2011 and the second the following December.
