White Out
ShockTilYouDrop.com has this video interview with the cast of the film, which opens on September 11.
Oz
Josh Olson spoke here to Ain't It Cool News, to say that the 2010 "Twisted Land of Oz" version that Todd McFarlane possited to be the new project, as reported here as well as many markets, is baloney. Olson said: "Just to clarify - the Oz project I wrote wasn't 'twisted' in any way. McFarlane's involvement with the project and the fact that his line of toys live up to that epithet has led to a lot of confusion in the last couple years. The pitch I sold to Warners was entirely my own, based on events in several of the L. Frank Baum books, combined with a story of my own creation…If you want to think of it in terms of what's out there, I was going for a Harry Potter tonality… But for the record, the project we sold Warners on was in no way based on the Twisted Land of Oz figures. There was no bondage Dorothy, and no gigantic Toto monster. I've never met Todd, never heard his take, and we had one brief telephone conversation after I sold the pitch in which no details of the project were discussed. To be honest, I don't even know if he's read my script. Mine is more of a sequel that was - or was at least intended to be - a return to the magical land of Oz that would work well for both fans of the MGM classic, and fans of Baum's amazing books." Okay, Oz fans, you can breathe again.
A Couple of Dicks
MTV reports here that the Bruce Willis & Adam Brody starring - Kevin Smith directed film may have hit the rocks, at least under that title. Brody said: "I don't think it's gonna happen. We were talking about [changing the name]; you can't really advertise that before 9. If that's the case, so that really hampers [the studio]. I know he feels a little burned, because he fought really hard for Zack and Miri Make a Porno and then it didn't do that well. This time he'’s like 'F*ck the title, you can call it Cream Cheese, I don't care.' So, I'd be surprised [if he kept it]."

Star Trek XII
io9 reports here that Leonard Nimoy looks to not be involved with the 2011 sequel. Nimoy said (Speaking to William Shatner at Dragon Com):"There are no plans for me to return for the second movie. I think the Spock character is very well established as portrayed by Zachary Quinto. And I think if you saw the movie Bill, you’d say the same of Chris Pine."
