When I heard that Seth Rogen would be starring in "Green Hornet," I was a little surprised. Ok, downright shocked. He just doesn’t seem like the superhero type, but maybe he’s got a new take on the classic hero. 
Now Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Cameron Diaz is in talks to co-star opposite Rogen in the movie. Nothing is firmed up at this point, but Diaz is one of those actresses I can see in pretty much any type of movie. I mostly think of her in romantic comedies, but she seems to jump genres fairly easily.

“Watchmen” is coming to DVD and Blu-ray on July 21. Did you see the movie? It got mixed reviews, but I liked it well enough, though don’t recommend it for kids younger than 16. Read my review here.
The film follows a group of superheroes who are being killed off one by one, and have to come back together after being estranged to face down evil. Here’s a clip of what I like to call “the big blue naked guy” to refresh your memory:

After playing Capt. Kirk in the upcoming "Star Trek," I imagine Chris Pine could pretty much have his pick of roles. And it looks like he might be playing yet another hero – Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, a DC Comics superhero.

The movie is scheduled to begin filming in Australia this September. Any thoughts?

I saw “Watchmen” today with my 14-year-old son and three of his buddies. We all loved the movie, and all agreed that it’s ripe for a sequel.
PonderPop sat down with director Zack Snyder, who talked about making a movie out of one of the most popular graphic novels ever. He also reveals whether people should read the graphic novel before seeing the movie – a comment I made to the boys today. “Watchmen” is currently in theaters now. Have you seen it? What did you think?

A few weeks ago, it was reported around the Web that Mickey Rourke was in talks to play a villain in "Iron Man 2" – supposedly, the role of Crimson Dynamo. But in a recent interview with MTV, Robert Downey, Jr. gave a different story:
"That’s actually incorrect," Downey said, when asked if Rourke was being considered for the role of Crimson Dynamo.
When asked if Rourke was up for the role of Whiplash, Downey said, "I can neither confirm nor deny that. Or maybe it’s some semblance of both. Here, I can tell you everything about the story, …read more

The second trailer for Alan Moore’s “Watchmen” is online now. Directed by Zack Snyder, the graphic novel-turned-movie hits theaters March 6, 2009. Looks darn intense, doesn’t it? I think it’s going to make all the other superhero movies - “Wolverine,” “The Spirit,” “Punisher: War Zone,” etc. - look like a walk through Candyland.
