Martin Lawrence Talks Bad Boys III
In an interview with MTV, Martin Lawrence discussed the chances of Bad Boys III and that both Will Smith and Michael Bay are interested in the project. Until now it was believed that the cost of signing both Smith and Bay could be prohibitive to another Bad Boys sequel though a script has been in the works in hopes that things would come together.

Review: The Losers
The Losers is based off a comic, but make no mistake, this is no Kick-Ass.Ă‚Â Carrying a PG-13 rating the action is more centered on the usual explosions and gun fights and the language is tempered.

Kick-Ass Narrowly Wins at the Box Office
Kick-Ass was able to scrape by How to Train Your Dragon for the top spot at the box office this weekend. The comic book adaptation pulled in just under $20 million, beating out Dragon by just $200K. That movie continues to drop at an extraordinarily low rate as word of mouth has carried it well since release. Kick-Ass hopes for similar results in coming weeks. The internal multiplier (Friday vs the weekend total) for Kick-Ass was 2.64 which is encouraging for a movie of this nature and show...

‘Mighty Mouse’ Reboot In The Works
The La Times' 24 Frames Blog is reporting that Paramount is working on releasing a reboot to the popular cartoon Might Mouse. The project, based on the vintage cartoon about a crime-fighting super-mouse (which will surely get a modern spin) has been in development for several years at Paramount and its Nickelodeon Movies label. A number of writers have taken stabs at a script over that time, including the Gunn brothers (Brian and Mark), who also count the "Journey to the Center of Earth" se...
