There Can Be Only None as Ryan Reynolds Exits 'Highlander' Reboot
For the longest time, the Highlander mantra "There can be only one" held true when it comes to Summit Entertainment's reboot. Ryan Reynolds had been the only one attached to the long-developing picture for quite some time, even though the film has had numerous other creative talents attached at various stages. Justin Lin and most recently Juan Carlos Fresnadillo eyed the director's chair, while a plethora of writers, including Twilight scribe Melissa Rosenberg, have taken a crack at the script. But now that "one" is down to "none", as The Wrap reports Reynolds has departed the project.

'Prometheus' Sequel Moves Forward; Ridley Scott May Not Direct
After the lukewarm reaction to Ridley Scott's Prometheus, it wasn't clear if Fox would be willing to move ahead with a sequel. For that matter, it wasn't certain if Scott had it in him to tackle another trip into Alien territory, especially since he's already developing a sequel to Blade Runner and has The Counselor opening later this year. But it does sound as if the film is alive and well, it just may not happen with Scott behind the camera.

'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' Pushed Back To August 2014
Robert Rodriguez led Sin City fans by the nose for seven years, promising a sequel every few months until people just kind of stopped expecting it. And then finally the film was happening, and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For was set for this October, just a month after his Machete Kills. But those who have been waiting this long will have to wait awhile longer, like practically an entire year, as the film has been bumped to August 22nd 2014.

Sony Sets Release Dates for Third and Fourth 'The Amazing Spider-Man' Movies
Sam Raimi is probably somewhere chuckling right now. As you know, he was intended to take his Spider-Man franchise into a fourth film, but that idea was canned and it instead became Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man reboot. Always planned as a trilogy, Webb is currently at work on the sequel which hits theaters in a year. But in what can only be a sign of confidence, Sony has set release dates not only for a third film, but for a fourth. We'll see if it ever reaches that far.

Jennifer Lopez Joins Chilean Miner Film, 'The 33'
Despite the unseemly nature of a Chilean miner drama being developed before they were ever rescued, The 33 is definitely happening and has even gathered some impressive talent. Patricia Riggen (Under the Same Moon) is directing, with Antonio Banderas, Martin Sheen, and Rodrigo Santoro already on board. The latest addition is the biggest star yet, as THR reports Jennifer Lopez has signed on.

Tony Danza Gets Dirty in the First Clip from 'Don Jon'
Tony Micelli my how you've changed! In this first clip from the upcoming Don Jon, a film about a young man (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who lives a hyper shallow existence and sets out to find something more gratifying, we get a look at the father/son dynamic between Jon and Jon Sr. (Danza). I have to imagine this was, at least partly, inspired by one of the Jersey Shore fist pumper's early days...except for the redemption part, that's totally fiction.

Why I'm Not About That 'Man of Steel' Life
So Man of Steel came out and made a gang of money this
weekend. Like a hundred and twenty-five million or still, this movie has seemed
to become the most divisive movie of the year so far. With its certified rotten critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and with a lot of super vocal
fans on social media loving it or hating it and arguing back and forth the division is clear. See, I was asked to write this piece because I hate Man of Steel.
Now, to preface I've been vocal to many
people that I’m pretty much done with the superhero movie, 2012 burnt me out on
the genre. Like, real talk, after Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises what else is
there to say now? Well, for me, at a minimum all the 3D spectacle and bombast has
become played out. I want a bit more, something else to explore. So the following are my reasons for not liking Man of Steel, from a personal point of view.

New Trailer for 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones' Starring Lily Collins
The summer seems like the worst possible time to try and launch a new YA adaptation franchise, especially with so many having failed recently. But that's not stopping The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones from hitting theaters at the tail end of the season, although it has considerably less momentum behind it than Beautiful Creatures or The Host, both of which turned out to be box office disasters. So what does 'Instruments' have to offer that those don't? The latest trailer doesn't do such a good job at answering that question.
