Just some interesting things I've just discovered. Hot off the press I think. Give me your thoughts, opinions, and whatnot. If you have any other rumors and whisperings from Hollywood, this would be a good place to post it. Might be a sticky. And excuse the bad formatting. It's copy and pasted...eh, fixed most of it. 
-------
Karyn Kusama is in final talks to direct Paramount and MTV Films' Aeon Flux, a live-action film based on the MTV animated short series.
-------
American publisher of manga style comics, Antarctic Press, along with Sentai Studios, will be releasing a combination Ninja High School comic / PC RPG starting this December.

Jennifer Garner is considering playing the part of She-Ra in a proposed new live-action Masters Of The Universe movie.
------
Warner Brothers has announced that Halle Berry will play Catwoman in the film of the same name.
-----
Jennifer Garner will reprise her Daredevil role in an Elektra spinoff movie.

Lauren Shuler Donner, who is producing a proposed third X-Men movie, told the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper that she's also planning a fourth film centering on Hugh Jackman's Wolverine character. "The ideal thing will be to
do Wolverine after X-Men 3, and that's what we plan to do," Donner told the newspaper. Donner added, "We'll probably develop Wolverine at the same time, but we'll do X3, then we'll do Wolverine."

The ArnoldFans.com Web site reported a rumor that John Milius, who is developing the sequel film King Conan: Crown of Iron, is eyeing the professional wrestler Triple H, aka Paul Levesque, to replace California governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role. "Triple H might be a better and grittier fit" than other replacements for Schwarzenegger, who will likely put his film career on hold for a while, the site reported. "They also like his acting and believe he is the perfect age to show the transition from a younger Conan (flashbacks) and could also play the Gray-bearded Conan." Milius and Triple H are reportedly already working on a new action movie called Journey of the Deadman. The site also reported that Milius will be doing an NPR radio interview this week and may discuss his decisions regarding the future of King Conan.

The Dark Horizons Web site reported a new rumor that a long-hoped-for-and long-denied-third trilogy of Star Wars films may be back on the drawing board. Citing an anonymous "insider source," the site reported that a sequel trilogy "might happen." Star Wars creator George Lucas originally told journalists that his plan was to create three trilogies of films: the original one that included the first Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, a prequel trilogy and a sequel trilogy that would pick up the story after the events in Jedi, consisting of Episode VII through IX. Subsequently, Lucas said he never intended to do the sequel trilogy. But now, the source told Dark horizons, "apparently there is some talk, even to the point of [Steven] Spielberg-who was interested in doing [Star Wars: Episode II-Attack of the Clones] at one point-stepping in for Lucas, who may want to write, but probably won't want to direct." The source added that
it's possible Lucas could strike a deal with writer/director Frank Darabont, who is writing the script for the proposed fourth Indiana Jones movie, to write the sequel scripts.
A source told TheForce.net fan Web site that Lucasfilm Ltd. has registered the domain name www.revengeofthesith.net, a title which corresponds to an
early draft of the script for the upcoming Star Wars: Episode III. Ownership of the name does not necessarily mean that the title is confirmed, however. Lucasfilm registered several unused domains prior to the release of
Star Wars: Episode II-Attack of the Clones. But the domain registration combined with reports that the title Star Wars: Episode II-Revenge of the Sith had appeared on at least one version of the script suggest that it is a working title, according to the site.
