Warner Bros. Gives Us A Peek At Their 2009 Movies
Fresh on the heels of the Sherlock Holmes pictures that surfaced earlier today, Collider now has a release from Warner Bros. with a look at several more of their 2009 releases. Included are stills we've seen before from WB tentpoles such as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Watchmen, and Terminator: Salvation, but they've also got new pictures up for some other notable films. Click on through to see images from Seth Rogen's Observe and Report, Nick Cassavetes' My Sister's Keeper, Zac Efron's 17 Again, Peter Sarsgaard and Vera Farmiga's The Orphan, Robert Rodriguez's Shorts, Kate Beckinsale's Whiteout, Steven Soderbergh and Matt Damon's The Informant, Richard Kelly's The Box, and my personal favorite, Spike Jonze's much-delayed Where The Wild Things Are. Expect more stills from the other studios in the next few days.
of his original draft of The Fountain), though there is a draft of the script kicking around already. The RoboCop relaunch is also still in the works, though no script has been completed yet. So either of those could wind up bring Aronofsky's next directing gig, or maybe even a different movie altogether. The Wrestler opens in limited release on December 17th.
. We'll keep an eye out to see how this one develops.
that just ended its three-season run earlier this year. 
ran from the early-to-mid 90s, it's definitely worth checking out.
to the big screen. The non-fiction book by David Grann comes out in February and tells the tale of British soldier and spy Percy Fawcett. Fawcett left Victorian England to obsessively pursue an advanced civilization he termed "Z" in the Amazon. He disappeared into the jungle with his son in 1925 and was never seen again. This sounds like it could be an interesting project, though my faith in Gray has been shaken since 2007's We Own the Night. I haven't heard anything about Two Lovers yet, but hopefully it'll restore some of my confidence in Gray and get me really excited about his next project.
written by Brian Michael Bendis that tells the story of a post-Untouchables Elliot Ness (who was a real person, by the way). The movie version is tentatively titled Ness, and was set to be directed by David Fincher with Matt Damon in the starring role and Casey Affleck and Rachel McAdams in supporting roles. Earlier this week, various news sites began reporting that the project looked like it might be dead in the water, with no word about if it'd go into production before the option for the story expired on December 15th. Well, it looks like this project still has a sign of life. 
a pretty adorable 46-page self-help book written by a 9-year old. The book originated as a pamphlet that the author, Alec Greven, sold for $3.00 a pop at his school's book fair. The book offers a variety of advice, but my favorite so far has to be "It is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelry but are like cars that need a lot of oil." Priceless. Or not, rather, as the rights were reportedly sold in the low-to-mid six figure range. This is why you should encourage your kids to draw and write and scribble away, just in case they pump something out that'll sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. I bet every parent with a 9 year-old is pissed as hell right now that their kid didn't think of this first.
