In Bruges ★★★★☆

Bruges, the most well-preserved medieval city in the whole of Belgium, is a welcoming destination for travellers from all over the world. But for hit men Ray and Ken, it could be their final destination; a difficult job has resulted in the pair being ordered right before Christmas by their London boss Harry to go and cool their heels in the storybook Flemish city for a couple of weeks. Very much out of place amidst the gothic architecture, canals, and cobbled streets, the two hit men fill their days living the lives of tourists. Ray, still haunted by the bloodshed in London, hates the place, while Ken, even as he keeps a fatherly eye on Ray's often profanely funny exploits, finds his mind and soul being expanded by the beauty and serenity of the city. But the longer they stay waiting for Harry's call, the more surreal their experience becomes, as they find themselves in weird encounters with locals, tourists, violent mediev

Transformers 2 will be Superbad!

Entertainment Weekly <http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/...> says Jonah Hill might be giving the F-bomb a rest for a few months, whilst working with Steven Spielberg.

The "Knocked Up" and "Superbad" star is in talks to star in "Transformers 2", says the site. Quite a departure for the portly young comic, whose made a name for himself in sex comedies (in which he utters such memorable lines as "I'll be like the Iron Chef of pounding Vag.").

' Hill (Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) will provide the comic relief as a sidekick to Shia's Sam Witwicky. (A source tells EW.com that he'll play Sam's college roommate, but DreamWorks won't confirm.)'', says the site.

Tom Cruise wants his own 24

Tom Cruise may be set to star in another - he already has one; "Mission : Impossible" - spy franchise, according to Variety <http://www.variety.com/> .

Though United Artists won't confirm that Cruise will star (It sounds like he will), it sounds like it's designed for him. It's also known that the studio has been looking for a commercially-viable franchise for the actor.

"24" co-creator-exec producer Joel Surnow will develop the film, with "Casino Royale" helmer Martin Campbell directing. Surnow will write the film with Michael Loceff, a "24" co-exec producer.

"This is an original concept that both UA and I feel will have an impact creatively and commercially," Surnow said.

Favreau on that Iron Man cameo Updated!

Comic Book Resources <http://www.comicbookresources.com/?p...> say the Nick Fury cameo may still be in the movie! Explain? ''One thing missing from the film was the much-touted end of movie scene with Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury. I understand from British Film classification sources that the scene is in the print that they've approved for general release, but not in premiere or preview screenings, so as not to spoil the um.. surprise... bugger. Anyway, he's recruiting for a group called The Avengers.'' What?! They kept it from journalists and the A-listers? how dare they!

Brandon Routh talks Superman sequel

<http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movie...> that he hopes to back in the blue and red tights next year.

''I expect that we'll be working early next year. I know that Bryan [Singer] has pretty much finished out "Valkyrie" and is back in the states and is zeroing in on the story that he wants to tell. Once that arrives it's going to move pretty quickly. I think that everybody is getting excited. It's been three years now, really. It's hard to believe that it's been long, but everyone is getting jazzed and ready to go again. I certainly am", the "Superman Returns" star says.

Routh hopes that in "Superman : The Man of Steel" (the tentative title of the sequel) the big guy gets to smack somebody. ''Well, I think that something that audiences are looking for - and I certainly am, too - is for Superman to actually be able to lay a punch on someone or something. I was filming and I thought, "I haven't really hit anything. I feel like I'm going to need to let some of this anger out." So I'm happy that I think that's going to be a central part of the sequel, getting a good villain that we can actually have physical altercations with.

McConaughey P.I?

Matthew McConaughey as Magnum P.I?

That's who Entertainment Weekly <http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/...> says has been offered the lead role in the long-gestating film version of the classic 80s TV series starring Tom Selleck.

Hmmm...

I don't hate this idea as much as I thought I would..... and I can't work out why. My blood isn't boiling at all. You'd think I'd have thrown my laptop through the glass door next to me by now (if only because I'm such a fan of Selleck)... But I haven't.

...Maybe it's because they were talking about Ben Affleck playing the TV crime-fighter at one stage, and then
