John Carter of Mars

Latino Review says here that Taylor Kitsch has been cast in the title role, while Lynn Collins will play Dejah Thoris. The site also reports that Thomas Hayden Church, says he is in the 2012 film. Tars Tarkis perhaps?



The Hobbit

Slash Film reports here that the casting for the 2012 film should make fans happy. According to an interview Hugo Weaving will be back as Lord Elrond, Ian McKellen will return as Gandalf the Grey and Andy Serkis will once again play Gollum. Director Guillermo del Toro said: "There is a whole other chapter, so to speak, which is the comings and going of Gandalf which are dealt with, people that know the lore know that Gandalf was delayed with a crisis… with a character that is very shady called the Necromancer that proves to be Sauron."



Deadpool

Ryan Reynolds told the MTV in an article here about the film: "I get to be the authentication police, in a weird way. To their credit -- the studio's credit -- they want to make an authentic 'Deadpool' movie; they want to make it as close to the source material as possible. He's going to be the Merc with the Mouth, [we're going to give] all those answers that everyone wants. He's going to have the scarred-up face, he's going to be in the suit — and, it's going to be incredible."
