David Fincher continues building his Girl With the Dragon Tattoo army with the decision to cast Christopher Plummer as the film’s catalyst Henrik Vagner. Bit of Plummer in the morning? Don’t mind if we do…

Johnny Depp is in London to film part of the next in the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise.

In 2012 the Star Wars saga will return to our screens – this time in eye-assaulting 3D! Three dimensional Jar Jar? Meesa no likey!

“The hills are alive with the sound of music”. Oh yes they are. But, the cast of The Sound of Music, whilst still living, have not been making sweet, sweet music together since the filming of the film in 1965. Hold onto your lederhosen and warm up your vocal chords as the Von-Trapp family singers are set to perform for the first time in 45 years.

Crimety, the Sherlock Holmes 2 news just keeps on coming. Yesterday we leant (with great learning joy) that Stephen Fry was to take the role of Holmes’s brother Mycroft in the Guy Richie sequel.

Jeffrey Jones, who played Dean Edward Rooney in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, has been sentenced to 250 hours community service for failing to update his entry in a sex offenders register.

Whilst in biblical times people lived for AGES (I think Noah was nine hundred and fifty when he died), life seems to have shortened somewhat.

As the first trailer is revealed for Joel and Ethan Coen’s take on the tale that won John Wayne an Oscar in 1969, we should probably make something clear; this probably isn’t the True Grit that your dad loved.

Stephen Fry is to play the role of Mycroft Holmes in Guy Ritchie’s super-sleuth sequel, due out next year.

Mark Ruffalo will be donning one of those flattering ping-pong ball covered jumpsuits in order to wreak some havoc as the big green monstrosity. He couldn’t be happier, but he could be better informed…
