In many occupations there are unwritten requirements. I mean, you can’t work in a bakery if you don’t like baked goods, but I’m sure the job advertisement doesn’t state “must love bread”. However, were you making a film where the main characters are hobbits (short and slightly podgy creatures with hair from ankle to foot), and you want to half the scaling down effort, then why not advertise for what you require? Heightest? Hey, this is Hollywood.

Alex Winter, who played Bill in ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’, has confirmed that a third instalment is in the works.

Kubrick mega-fans listen up! Rarely seen film Fear and Desire is set to be released on DVD . So, you can stop watching the ten-minute segments on Youtube, save up your pennies (it’s said to be a valuable film) and treat yourself to the newly restored version. Warning, the tag line is “Trapped…Four Desperate Men and a Strange, Half-Animal Girl”. Sounds wild!

With Nolan meeting with directors for Warner Bros.’ upcoming Superman project, Man of Steel, the shortlist of his favoured possibilities has become public. And it sounds super!

Creepy, shmoozing teenager, Justin Bieber is not only taking over the radio waves but he’s all spread his sacharine smile on our screens too. He’s chatting to his new mate, Will Smith who must have been charmed by Bieber’s innocence (he doesn’t fool me, he knows exactly what he’s doing) and has decided to make a film based on Bieber’s life. What life?? Isn’t he like twelve??? What could he have done with his life? I’m hoping for a 50 Cent, Get Rich or Die Trying type thing.

Ah, Scarlett Johansson in Iron Man 2, AKA Black Widow. She kicked, she twirled, she wore a skin-tight jumpsuit! But is her character ready to go solo, or is it just the testosterone in the air?

Joaquin Phoenix has returned to Late Night with David Letterman to explain his infamous 2009 appearance.

Hayden Panettiere playing the convicted murderer from a horrific and controversial case that is barely over? It’s the film “too soon” became a phrase for.

It seems that Rachel Weisz is sick of being known as the beautiful and determined pursuer of good. Be grateful, Rachel, worse things happen at sea! But rather then play an evil witch, perhaps in the upcoming Harry Potter film, she’s gone for a sexy number. Well, I guess the fat and ugly characters can wait. You gotta grab the spicey roles whilst you’ve still got your metabolism and your own teeth.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Natalie Portman are reportedly to direct and star in a new version of classic fairytale Snow White. Hmm…
