SUMMIT |
Summit Entertainment has set April 15, 2011 as the release date for their 3-D version of THE THREE MUSKETEERS. Paul W.S. Anderson directs, while Logan Lerman, Orlando Bloom, and Christoph Waltz co-star. C'mon though, shouldn't it be titled THE 3-D MUSKETEERS??? "All for one and 3-D for all!"

SONY |
Here come the Men in Black...in your face for Memorial Day Weekend 2012.

Holy threequels, Batman! Warner Bros. officially announced the release date of the most anticipated movie of the new decade as July 20, 2012. That's exactly 4 years after "The Dark Knight" grossed an unprecedented $533 million domestically and over a billion worldwide. No word yet on the cast, but expect Christopher Nolan at the helm...unless WB insists on 3-D...which Nolan has publicly opposed.
