The Hurt Locker is facing some difficulties in the race up to the Oscars, difficulties I didn't really think worth mentioning, until the latest round of news today and the announcement that a producer of the film has been banned from the show.
Adding to their troubles, the film is currently being sued by a U.S. Army Sergeant who is claiming that the Jeremy Renner character is based on him and that he made up the phrase that became the title of the film, all without credit, and I assume without money.
Yet is it right that amongst all that goes on behind the scenes of the Academy Awards to secure nominations and awards that a producer has been banned for just asking voters to vote for his film?
Corey Haim, best known for his role in The Lost Boys, has died aged 38.
Christopher Nolan, as we know, has taken on the huge task of bringing Superman back to film...again, and making everyone happy this time round. Mind you, so far let's remember that he's not directing nor is he writing, he's mentoring the project.
While Christopher Nolan has been talking about Superman, he's also talked a little about the next Batman film, the third he's directed and the way he's talking it's going to be his last and perhaps the last for the Batman we know.

Now this is a short update for all you Kenneth Branagh Shakespearean adaptation fans out there, I know that audience won't be quite as big as Avatar or Tron Legacy, but hey, I'm not a for-profit group site, and I love his Shakespearean adaptations.
I saw Vincenzo Natali's film Splice and while the first half had me really interested, the second half became a joke with the audience laughing out loud at some hilariously bad dialogue and some really daft plot moments. Honestly, it had me shaking my head in disbelief at times.
While a lot of people concentrate on the loose similarities between this story and Repo! The Genetic Opera, I like to watch the trailers and decide independently whether I want to watch this film or not, and judging by the first trailer and this new one, I'm definitely interested.
I was lucky enough to see American: The Bill Hicks Story a week or two ago - I still have the review to complete and post, and it will hopefully be live before the American première at SXSW – suffice to say it's a wonderful film that does a wonderful job of presenting Bill Hicks and what he stood for.
I saw the trailer for Tron Legacy go live today, but being away from home and working non-stop the last few days I couldn't get a chance to write about it. However I did watch it, and I have to tell you it's superb.
I had heard about the disappearance of Alice Creed the other day, talking about the character and how it was totally different from anything else that Gemma Arterton had done, and then the article revealed that she was not only going to be nude during the film but that she'd spend most of it crying.
Has Iron Man 2 peaked too early? I mean the new trailer is superb, really, but the ending has me wondering if they haven't played the big bad enemy a bit too quickly.
While we're seeing a new Muppet film being made by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller, the man behind the Muppets themselves looks set to get a film made of his life. It was last year's Hollywood Black List that placed Christopher Weekes' screenplay The Muppet Man at the top of the list of the best unproduced scripts around.
We’ve been hearing about a Fright Night remake 
Welcome to another round of Filmstalker's Film Club. While we're just about to start recording Round 5, I'm only publishing Round 3. Not only is it a lot of work to do the editing, but we were interrupted for Xmas – getting our schedules together for a special was a nightmare – and the BAFTAs live on Filmstalker. Now though, we're back on track.
