It was only a matter of time before Slash got involved with the movies. I just thank God it wasn’t a cameo role in Austin Powers. But this is good. He’s only gone and started up his own horror movie production company. TREAT!

Oz the Great and Powerful, the forthcoming Disney prequel to The Wizard of Oz, will be directed by Evil Dead supremo Sam Raimi.

All parents have a list of films they don’t want their children to see. Mother and Father would rather not put up with the aftermath; nightmares and potential bed-wetting. But get over it Ma and Pa, what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Note to Chloe Moretz’s mum, if your precious child is hard enough to play a killer vampire, a bit of horror ain’t gonna hurt. So unchain the telly, if you please.

Peter Jackson has finally been confirmed as director of the two overdue film adaptations of The Hobbit. As if you didn’t know.

Just two days ago we reported that Emma Stone was being rumoured for the role of Mary Jane Watson in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot, leaving the role of primary love interest, Gwen Stacy, up for grabs. Well, it seems those rumours were wrong; Emma Stone will not be playing Mary Jane Watson. She will, however, be playing Gwen Stacy! Does that make sense? Our brains hurt.

We all heard the rumours last month that director Darren Aronofsky was thinking about taking on the sequel to the underwhelming Wolverine. Well kids, it seems like the myth has become fact.

Much like The Sugababes (we start most news stories with that statement), it could be that the final Bourne product ends up looks absolutely nothing like its first incarnation. We’ve heard today that writer Tony Gilroy has taken over from Paul Greengrass as the director of Bourne: Legacy, and there’s no Matt Damon confirmation in sight. Lordy.
