MOVIE NEWS

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 4 & 5
In a new interview with 'Newsweek' magazine, Johnny Depp hinted that he could return as Captain Jack Sparrow in even more Pirates sequels, saying: "He's a blast to play. I'll be in a deep, dark depression saying goodbye to him. I'll keep the costume and just prance around the house, entertain the kids. Maybe Pirates 4, 5 and 6. If they had a good script, why not? I mean, at a certain point, the madness must stop, but for the moment, I can't say that he's done."

30 DAYS OF NIGHT
Josh Hartnett (Pearl Habor) will headline the movie adaptation of graphic novel smash-hit 30 Days Of Night for 'Columbia Pictures'. The film, based on Steve Niles comic, has been adapted by screenwriters Stuart Beattie and Brian Nelson, and tells the story of a secluded Alaska town called Barrow, where the sun sets and doesn't rise for over thirty consecutive days and nights. During this darkness, a group of vampires descend on the helpless time to feast� with the only help being the town's Sheriff (Hartnett) and Deputy, a husband and wife who torn between their own survival and saving the town they love�
Shooting will begin in early August in New Zealand (of all places!). 'Ghost House Pictures', created by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, are producing the movie.

DRILLBIT TAYLOR
Owen Wilson is set to star in the high-concept comedy Drillbit Taylor for 'Paramount Pictures', says 'The Hollywood Reporter'. Steven Brill (Without A Paddle) is in talks to direct the movie, which is based on an original idea by John Hughes. The movie revolves around two high school freshmen who are targeted by the school bully on the first day of the school year. The boys hire what they think is a low-budget soldier of fortune (Owen Wilson) to protect them, but he turns out to be anything but...
The film will start shooting in September in Los Angeles, for a summer 2007 release.

WRONG TURN 2
Henry Rollins and Steve Braun are set to star in Wrong Turn 2, being directed by Joe Lynch for '20th Century Fox'. Rollins plays a host and producer of his own reality TV show entitled "The Ultimate Survivalist", which features six contestants be thrown together for six days in a simulated post-apocalyptic wasteland. Located in a remote part of West Virginia, the contestants discover that they really are in a fight for survival against a family of hideously deformed, inbred cannibals�

JACKASS: NUMBER 2
'Paramount Pictures' has revealed that Jackass: Number Two is set for release on 22 September. The sequel to the 2002 hit, based on the infamous 'MTV' TV show, will again star Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera, and the rest of the Jackass team �- all putting themselves in harm's way for our amusement.

KAVALIER & CLAY
Michael Chabon, the Pulitzer Prize winning author for his book The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, has posted news on the big screen adaptation on his official Blog: "The fate of this project -- whether it will move at last from the nebulousness of pre-pre-production into really-truly pre-production, with a budget and cast and everything, will be decided on or around 12 July 2006. Miss Natalie Portman is a strong likelihood for the part of Rosa; other casting is ongoing, as are work on the script (a lot of cutting) and tests conducted by a number of top-drawer animation studios (for the comic book elements). Quick answers (as of this date): Golem: yes. Antarctica: yes. Gay love story: yes. Ruins of World's Fair: no. Long Island: no. Orson Welles: no. Salvador Dali: yes. Loving reference to Betty and Veronica: no. Stan Lee: no."
Stephen Daldry is attached to direct the film, about two young cousins who create a comic-book superhero named The Escapist. The boys help usher in the golden age of comics, and through the years, The Escapist encounters adversaries similar to real-life figures...

VANTAGE POINT
Sigourney Weaver (Aliens) is in talks to join the cast of Vantage Point, says 'The Hollywood Reporter'. Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, William Hurt and Forest Whitaker already have signed on to the thriller, to be directed by Pete Travis from a Barry Levy script. The movie chronicles an assassination attempt on the U.S. president (Hurt) and is told from five points of view, unfolding in 15-minute increments.
Weaver will play a TV news producer for a network who will do anything to get the story.
