Summit Entertainment isn’t talking at this point, saying only, “No decision has been made and as we have said all along, we are continuing to work with Stephenie Meyer to bring ‘Breaking Dawn’ to the big screen.”

Yeah, that’s not really saying anything, is it? The cynical part of me thinks that two films would make way more money than one, so that would be a reason for the powers that be to do it that way.

Those of you familiar with the books, does it seem like a smart move to split ‘Breaking Dawn’ into two movies? And if so, where would you split the film?

“I’m waiting for Paul,” Damon said at the “Invictus” premiere. “And he’ll come back when there’s a script.”

Word on the street is that Greengrass reportedly quit the fourth installment of the “Bourne” franchise this week over a disagreement with Universal Pictures about the screenplay written by Damon pal George Nolfi.

Well, they can’t exactly have a “Bourne” movie without Jason Bourne (Damon), so I’m pretty sure it’ll be worked out one way or another.

Greengrass directed “The Bourne Supremacy” and “The Bourne Ultimatum.” Doug Liman directed “The Bourne Identity.”

Not much is known about the film, but we know it centers on three teenagers who journey to the elusive Area 51 Air Force base in the Nevada desert. No matter how much is written or filmed about that area, people will always be intrigued. What DOES go on there anyway?

Maybe we’ll never know for sure, but Latino Review got their hands on a script/outline hybrid, revealing:

“It’s basically a scene-by-scene breakdown with a list of various props, actors and the general interactions between the actors and their surroundings.  There is no written dialogue, but within the action descriptions are general ideas that the actors will be using to improvise their lines with on set.  Unlike Paranormal Activity’s single location, ‘Area 51’ is far more expansive in its setting.”

But what about the villains we already know and love? Like Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin? Ok, sure he “died” at the end of the first “Spider-Man” movie, but he managed to appear in the two sequels as an apparition in a mirror, seen by his son, Harry.

While Dafoe says that “no one’s called” to ask if he’d be in the upcoming “Spider-Man 4,” he’s not ruling out the idea.

“I think it’s possible,” he said in a recent MTV interview. “But I haven’t heard anything.”

There’s also the fact that Harry — played by James Franco — is probably out of the picture after his death in “Spider-Man 3.” But like Dafoe says, anything is possible.

Now they might be teaming again, because rumor has it they’re in talks to star in a remake of the 1949 classic “The Third Man.”

Here’s the plot: After arriving in post-WWII Vienna, Holly Martins learns that his friend Harry Lime, who invited him, was involved in a car accident. When Martin starts investigating the death, he finds out more than he bargained for.

“Eastern Promises” writer Steven Knight is rumored to be writing the film, but no director is attached yet.

In the original, Joseph Cotten played Holly, and Orson Welles played Harry. No word on which character DiCaprio and Maguire would play, but it sounds like a great crime thriller ripe for a remake.

George Miller has written, directed and/or produced all the “Mad Max” movies, and he’s at it again. Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are rumored to be in talks for “Mad Max: Road Fury,” looking at a 2011 release date.

The Hollywood Reporter is now reporting that the movie will film Down Under next year in Sydney and outback New South Wales. Warner Brothers yanked “Green Lantern” off the continent, so maybe this movie and its $100 million budget will help to fill the void.

It’s unlikely that Mel Gibson will be returning, at least not as Max, but ABC is putting Sam Worthington out there as a replacement.

Yeah, I can see that. What about The Gyro Captain, though? They’ll have trouble finding a suitable replacement for Bruce Spence.

The thriller hits theaters Oct 16, 2009, and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, disturbing images, mature thematic material and brief sensuality. It also stars Amber Heard, Sherry Stringfield, Jon Tenney, and Paige Turco. It looks darn creepy!

First, we learned that Tom Cruise was out and Sam Worthington was in. Then director Bharat Nalluri was out, and is yet to be replaced. Now The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Charlize Theron is out, and Angelina Jolie in talks to replace her.

Let’s hope they can figure it all out by the time filming starts. The film is a remake of a 2005 French film, and follows a tourist persuaded by Interpol to go undercover and trap a former lover who’s now suspected of being an international criminal. Worthington is the traveler, while Jolie would be the femme fatale: "one part seductress, one part action heroine." Yeah, I can see that.

I would imagine that producers Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Jonathan Glickman must be getting a tad nervous at this point.

In the Elle interview, Holmes talks about fashion, Tom Cruise, and the possibility of a vampire movie in her future. Yeah, she has that sort of dark look that would do well in a supernatural movie.

On the other hand, the other actor in the running, Rupert Grint of “Harry Potter” fame, actually looks more like the prince. Who would YOU like to see in the role?
