Weekend round-up: Spider-Man, Daredevil and Smurfs

Here's another instalment of the inexplicably popular Weekend round-up, where we trawl through the week's news and highlight those stories that didn't otherwise make it on . This week: more Bourne, more Kill Bill, more American Psycho?

Superbowl ad #1: New footage for The Last Airbender. I had no faith in Shyamalan at all after The Happening, but I'll be damned if this doesn't look cool:

Zachary Quinto, otherwise known as Star Trek's new Mr Spock or Sylar from Heroes, has been linked to play famous composer George Gershwin in a biopic about his life. Spielberg is producing and may even direct the film himself.
Matt Damon has announced that there have been problems getting together a script for the next Bourne film, so "there'll probably be a prequel of some kind with another actor and another director before we do another one."
Rumours have been flying that both Zac Efron and newcomer Logan Lerman (star of Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief) will be taking over the Spidey costume. I guarantee there'll be two different names in the frame this time next week.
Here's a new trailer for Clash Of The Titans which shows there is more story to the film than just a bunch of monsters rocking out:

Steven Knight, screenwriter of Eastern Promises and drafts of the upcoming Shutter Island, has been hired to write an adaptation of the new Dan Brown novel, The Lost Symbol. No word yet as to whether Hanks and Howard will return to the series.
Unsurprisingly, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen and Land Of The Lost are top of the list with the number of Razzie nominations this year.
Johnny Depp is planning to direct a documentary about Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. Apparently his admiration for the death-defying musician runs deeper than basing Jack Sparrow on him.
A leaked image of a character design for the upcoming CGI/live-action Smurfs film, and it looks... well, what did you expect?


A creative team has assembled to adapt American Psycho into a stage musical. No, I can't imagine it either.
A writer has been hired for a reboot of Daredevil. I know how we all feel about reboots, especially so soon after the original, but I think this could be good - this cool superhero never really got a fair shot first time round.
Superbowl ad #2: More Robin Hood footage, this time with even more shouting, horses, and arrows:

Daryl Hannah has claimed that there will definitely be a third Kill Bill film and that her character, Elle Driver, will be in it. "He always meant it as a trilogy," Hannah says of Tarantino – hard to believe seeing as the eponymous mission was accomplished in just two films.
Trailer for the upcoming The People Vs. George Lucas, a documentary discussing Star Wars fandom:

There's a fifth Fast And The Furious movie on the way – titled Fast Five, because apparently they're no longer furious.
