    A little over a week ago, Mania.com reported from "a source" that Rachel McAdams would be cast in Spiderman 4. Today we find out this is not the case, as it was all a rumor. Entertainment Weekly recently spoke with McAdams, who denied the rumors that she was in Spider-Man 4. That’s a total rumor, I have to say,” the actress, who will next be seen in the Dec. 25 action-adventure tentpole Sherlock Holmes, tells EW. “I was hanging out in Toronto the other day and someone cam...

    ABC has released the official poster for the sixth and final season of Lost. Click the image above for the full version of the poster. This is about the only thing that will be available to analyze as the network is not going to show a single second of footage or have any discussion on details relating to the season before it begins on January 20th.

    A while back Warner Bros. offered an opportunity to essentially trade in HD DVD versions of their movies for Blu-ray copies. In that case they were charging $5 per movie and it was meant as a nice gesture to those who had invested in the now dead format.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, FX has secured the television rights to 2012 and Zombieland.

In addition to "2012," FX has acquired another Sony film that opened at No. 1 this fall, the horror comedy "Zombieland," which will be availabl...

Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, and Godzilla are previous attempts at just that. He returns with 2012 as series of events result to the destruction of the world as we know it.
