LOBO"Sherlock Holmes" has defeated "Lobo." According to The Los Angeles Times, director Guy Ritchie has left "Lobo" to work on a fast-tracked sequel to "Holmes." They talked with Joel Silver, producer of both projects, who says, "The studio wants us and Guy to focus on making another 'Sherlock Holmes.' So I think we're going to be doing that. But we're seeing what happens with this. Everybody is analyzing everything. It's all kind of happening right nowas we talk. 'Sherlock' is sitting at just about $400 million in worldwide gross and showing itself to be pretty effective and pretty strong. So we're trying to see if we can do something quickly with another 'Sherlock Holmes' movie. We have some ideas and some good story points." Silver speculates the film will find another director.

Starring Ryan Reynolds, release date: June 17th, 2011THE AVENGERSIn the following quote, Marvel's Kevin Feige let's slip an important bit of "Avengers" news from an interview with SFX for their March issue (via Superhero Hype): "My only concern is that when we launch a franchise--whichever character's franchise that may be--it should stand on its own two feet... So by the time 'The Avengers' comes in 2012, it's not just a team superhero movie with a bunch of characters with powers. It's three people - four including the Hulk; five including Nick Fury - who you've seen before in other movies, coming together for the very first time." This would appear to be confirmation of the Hulk's appearence on the film. Of course, once this makes the rounds, it'll probably get downplayed or denied.

According to Heat Vision, Warner Bros will push the release date of the film back one week to April 2nd, but will convert the film for 3D projection. "Conversion expenses have been coming down, so each film will cost just $5 million to change into 3D. Warners also will absorb an additional $5 million expense per pic to pay for 3D glasses for exhibitors handling the movies," they write. While I have some problems watching movies in 3D, I'll always be willing to give it a go for a movie I'm looking forward to and "Clash of the Titans" is one such movie.Starring Sam Worthington, release date: April 2nd, 2010PRIESTDirector Scott Stewart tells Sci-Fi Wire that while the film version is set in the future, it has a connection to the Korean comics upon which it is based.

New episode: Janurary 29th, 2010HUMAN TARGETHere at CBR, we spoke with Jackie Earle Haley, who appears on the show as Guerrero, a shadowy fixer in the world of Christopher Chance. "One of the things that's interesting about him is that it's hard to tell exactly where his loyalties lie. But I think, over time, we'll start to realize that this guy does have a philosophy. He's the kind of guy that understands the world we live in and how it really operates. He gets things done," says Haley

Airs: WednesdaysMASS EFFECT If you need me the rest of the day, I'll be playing Mass Effect 2. I've already played forty minutes or so and it's pretty spectacular. Just the graphical upgrades and the revamped look of the Normandy are breathtaking. Through some promotions and gift card schemes, I got the special edition which comes with the first issue of the "Mass Effect: Redemption" comic book, hopefully I'll find sometime to read it in between sessions with the game.
