SPIDER-MAN (BEGINS)And now ... the short list? The 24 Frames blog at The Los Angeles Times reports "Kick-Ass" star Aaron Johnson and "Star Trek's" Anton Yelchin are part of director Marc Webb's list of potential Peter Parkers.

Starring Chris Hemsworth, release date: May 6th, 2011OZ, THE GREAT AND POWERFULNew York Magazine's Vulture has discovered Sam Raimi has an offer to direct the Oz prequel, which will focus on the windswept carnival con-man and his elevation to Wizard. "It's unclear if Raimi will accept: Last July, he was hired by Warner Bros.-based Legendary Pictures to develop a film based on the wildly popular World of Warcraft video game," they write. Having seen Raimi act in a couple of places, I say he'd actually make a great Wizard.Release date: TBANO ORDINARY FAMILYAccording to The Hollywood Reporter, actor Stephen Collins is now a regular on the series, meaning you'll see his name in the opening credits every week. Well, provided it has opening credits. He'll also appear in the majority of episodes during the season. You may remember Collins from his eleven year stint as Reverend Camden on "7th Heaven" or his role as Commander Will Decker in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," or perhaps any of the hundreds of Lifetime movies he's made. He will play the boss of Julie Benz's character in the new series.Airdate: FallA GAME OF THRONESHBO had made a teaser for the series available.
