Hot off the Wire

Reuters is reporting all sorts of turmoil over at Disney. There's talk that Harvey Weinstein will be leaving Miramax films. Maybe you don't like the H half of the Weinstein's because of his politics, but you have to admit one thing--the guy knows how to make great movies. Considering recent events, there's very little hope of ever seeing a decent animated film from Disney ever again now that Pixar is going its own way and if their grown-up guru disappears too I guess we'll just be stuck with great ideas like Cinderella 3 and The Mighty Ducks go to Japan.

James Caviezel as Superman? Brian Singer is still looking for his leading man.

Ben Kingsley (Ghandi) and Kristanna Loken (Terminator 3) inked to BloodRayne, a film adaptation of the popular video game about vampires.

Quentin Tarantino has some minor regrets about splitting the plot to Kill Bill, but only when it comes to vanity. I'm sure his pocketbook (and Harvey Weinstein's for that matter) has no regrets at all.

The plot is twisting once again, but this time it doesn't look good for The Village director M. Night Shyamalan. Simon & Shuster are considering legal actions due to the similarities between The Village and their children's novel, "Running out of Time." This could get very interesting but, as J.K. Rowling can attest, it's pretty tough to get pinched for plagiarism when you're raking in the big bucks.

ET is offering a look ahead at the fall movie line up here, which include, Mr. 3000, Sky Captain and the World of tomorrow, Finding Neverland, Alexander, and the Bridget Jones sequel to name a few.
