IRON MAN 2

Tentative release date: May 2010

What’s it about: The man in that cool iron suit is back for another round of cool-fest! Iron Man 2 is set six months after the events of the first film. Tony Stark is out in the open, having revealed his identity as Iron Man and the public attention has taken its toll on him. Meanwhile, things aren’t looking too good at Stark Industries; as the government is working to co-op his infamous armour. A powerful competitor named Justin Hammer also threatens Tony’s business, and a new enemy named Whiplash is hot on his tail.

What you need to know: Both Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow reprise their roles as Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Mickey Rourke will be playing baddie Whiplash and the sexy starlet Scarlett Johansson dawns the role of Black Widow. But the coolest bit about this movie is that the equally-awesome War Machine, an Iron Man look-alike/sidekick will be joining forces with our favourite hero to whoop some nefarious butt!

The American film production company DreamWorks has revealed that it has licensed the rights to adapt Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell cyber-police manga into a 3D live-action film. The story of an elite paramilitary unit in future Japan has already been adapted into three animated films and two television anime series. DreamWorks has released the second animated Ghost in the Shell film, Innocence, in North America. DreamWorks also released Millennium Actress and produced Transformers, another live-action science-fiction film with Japanese roots.

Variety reports that Universal and Sony also negotiated for the rights, which the Production I.G anime studio was pitching for the manga’s original publisher Kodansha. What turned the dealmaking in DreamWorks’ favor was co-founder Steven Spielberg’s enthusiasm for the project. The entertainment trade newspaper quotes the acclaimed director and producer: “Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite stories. It’s a genre that has arrived, and we enthusiastically welcome it to DreamWorks.”

Avi Arad (formerly of Marvel Studios as well as of the Spider-Man and X-Men movie franchises), Arad’s son Ari, and Seaside Entertainment’s Steven Paul brought the project to DreamWorks and will produce. Jamie Moss (Street Kings, Last Man Home) has been assigned to script the project.
