  • Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is officially wrapped. According to a quick note on Bay’s website, the principle photography is done, which puts them on track for a June 26th 2009 release. [FilmSchoolRejects]
  • Looks like they’re going to remake 13 Tzameti, a huge indie hit in 2005. Allegedly Ray Winstone and Ray Liotta are joining Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham and Sam Riley in the English-version remake which will be written and directed by the original writer/director, Gela Babluani. [Variety]
  • Wanted co-writer Chris Morgan told MTV that he might be writing a sequel to the film. “The point is to continue the journey that Wes (James McAvoy) started in the first film. Wherever he ended up at the end of the film, now it’s time to move him forward.” [Spill]

  • The best African American Presidents in TV and movies in honor of our new President of the United States, Barack Obama. WOOHOO! Check out the list here. [Spill]
  • Some sad news. Jurassic Park Author Michael Crichton died today. The writer was only 66 year-old and “died unexpectedly,” the release said, “after a courageous and private battle against cancer.” He helped to create the TV show “ER” and wrote the best-sellers “Jurassic Park,” “The Andromeda Strain,” “Sphere” and “Rising Sun.” He will be missed.
