Jake Gyllenhaal as Captain Marvel

according to IMDB:

"Executives at Hollywood film studio New Line are desperately trying to sign Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal as Captain Marvel in Shazam! The studio is looking to bid on a big franchise along the lines of Batman and Superman and think the movie, which is based on the DC comic, is the perfect project. A source tells the New York Daily News, "They're ready to spend up to $200 million to get it started." Sources say director Peter Segal and his fellow producers want to sign the star before Spider-Man director Sam Raimi can get to him. Raimi is reportedly on the lookout for a new Spider-Man after current star Tobey Maguire recently said he is ready to move on and let someone else play the role."

the music in the film becomes an imaginary character

the film cuts away all the glaze we think is there and reveals what real people truly are, exceptional.

300 the movie

it opens today,
march 9, 2007

on this day

it was 44 years ago, on this day. i first saw light...

imagine yourself, a delicate yet persistent bud. your instincts tell you to wait, when the time is right you will push all of yourself out. the world will see all of your colours, cherish your beauty and embrace your survival.

last night was cool, dark and lonely. you were patient, hopeful of a new day. a day that might be filled with different things, new ideas, unknown understandings...

as the sun begins to rise, the brilliant light dances across your crisp outer skin. inside you can feel the movement, sense everything around you. up as you know, is the way out. follow the light. you search deep within for the strength and ambition to take these first steps...

here it is, long last. it's a new day for all of us.

and you thought the light would be there, endlessly.

The 11th Star Trek film

Star Trek film gets release date

The 11th Star Trek film, to be directed by Lost creator JJ Abrams, will be released in the US on Christmas Day 2008, Paramount Pictures has announced.

The film, which will focus on the early lives of Captain James T Kirk and Mr Spock, will begin shooting this autumn.

No further details have been announced and the movie has yet to be cast.

But Abrams - who directed the third Mission: Impossible film last year - said he wanted "to make a picture for life-long fans and the uninitiated".

"Needless to say I am honoured and excited to be part of this next chapter of Star Trek," he added.

'Brilliance and optimism'

The original Star Trek TV series, created by Gene Roddenberry, ran from 1966 to 1969.

It went on to spawn 10 feature films, numerous spin-offs and a billion-dollar industry of books, computer games and consumer products.

PREVIOUS TREK FILMS The Motion Picture (1979) The Wrath of Khan (1982) The Search for Spock (1984) The Voyage Home (1986) The Final Frontier (1989) The Undiscovered Country (1991) Generations (1994) First Contact (1996) Insurrection (1998) Nemesis (2002)

The last Trek film, Star Trek: Nemesis, was released in 2002 and featured the stars of the Next Generation TV series.

The most recent TV spin-off, Star Trek: Enterprise, came to an end in 2005.

The latest feature, which has yet to be named, will tell of Kirk and Spock's first meeting at Starfleet Academy and their first outer space mission.

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who worked with Abrams on Mission: Impossible III, have written the screenplay.

"If there's something I'm dying to see, it's the brilliance and optimism of Roddenberry's world brought back to the big screen," said Abrams.

"Alex and Bob wrote an amazing script that embraces and respects Trek canon but charts its own course."

Paramount Pictures chairman and CEO Brad Grey said he "could not be more thrilled to be back in business with JJ Abrams".

As well as directing the film, Abrams will co-produce with Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof.
