IRON MAN

BLACK HOLE

Charles Burns' graphic novel coming to the silver screen? Is that right, CBR News?

AKIRA

JUSTICE LEAGUE: NEW FRONTIER

Comics2Film has a feature about actor David Boreanaz taking on the role of Hal Jordan for the Darwyn Cooke-inspired animated film. "Hal's an interesting character -- having been part of the Korean War, he's kind of damaged goods, but yet he's striving to get back to being himself," Boreanaz said. "I think Hal's sense of a duality is fascinating -- his holding onto his past, overcoming it, and being heroic with it. It's about coming to an understanding of where your strengths are and where your weaknesses may be -- and as an actor, to go into his dark place and work from there. I found that very appealing."

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINEThe Scene talked to stunt double Kate Newman, who talked a little about what she did in the mutant-minded Marvel movie, including driving "an old two-wheel-drive ute along narrow gravel roads at about 80kmh." "Every time you see that character in a car, that's actually me," Newman said. She also kissed Hugh Jackman's double as part of her work.

CONAN

"Conan Properties International, the creator and owner of the underlying rights to the 'Conan the Barbarian' films, is suing several parties, including Lionsgate, Edward R. Pressman Productions, Modern Times Group, and others, seeking a piece of net profits from the films."
