Charlie's
Angels:
The full-trailer for the November 3rd release of "Charlie's
Angels" is out right now, thanks to AOL

the pathetic teaser trailer released last spring.

martial arts in this movie comes from the same people
who taught Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix")
and some great shots of Cameron Diaz.

Spider-Man:
Dark
Horizons received a scoop today stating that Tobey
Maguire has tested for the role already and if all
goes well, an official announcement will be made next

around as the top choice by director Sam Raimi for

Alley
Cat:
The Comics
Continuum is reporting that a live-action movie
based on the comic of the same name will begin filming
in New Orleans this September. The film stars model
Alley Baggett in the lead role. Director Aronowitz
said that plans are to establish Alley Cat as a franchise.
"That's one of the main reasons that distribution
has not been locked down," Aronowitz said. "Everyone
they're dealing with has a different opinion of what
they want it to be. The good thing is all these opinions
are for bigger things. 'We'll distribute it a theatrically
if we can have a three-picture sequel deal.' Other
places want to turn it into a television series. So,
it's more about negotiating." The comics tell of a
young girl in contemporary times fighting against
an evil unleashed by the Marquis de Sade in the 18th
century
Tomb
Raider:
Director Simon West recently spoke to the Popcorn
UK site about the "Tomb Raider" movie,
now in production for a summer release next year.
The article states that West initially rejected the
idea of bringing the videogame to the big-screen but
"coming across James Bond in 1961." Despite never
having played the video game, West says he set about
creating "James Bond on acid, James Bond as it should
be, slightly sadistic, supercool, with a surreal element."
Indeed, West says audiences will be grateful that
he ditched the original 'Tomb Raider' script: "The
original script had scenes with people visiting the
Queen and drinking tea. It was a tragedy waiting to
happen. I did this as a public service!"
