I'd like to start this week with a question: just where the fuck is Hollywood going? How much is too much? Now, some things look fun, but again, it all seems to hinge on the same stories that were told a million times before.

Hollywood Reporter let us know that a brand new movie, based on the Tomb Raider video game series, is going into production and, according to the story, the project is set to commence pretty soon (almost immediately, in fact...).

So, thoughts on the first proper Man of Steel trailer? And while you're at it, here's Tom Cruise in a new sci-fi, the title of which sounds exactly like the fourth installment in The Elder Scrolls series, while the visual style of the movie resembles Mass Effect. Lol, and we mustn't forget this!

Back in 2010, Legendary Entertainment bought the rights to make a flick based on BioWare's sci-fi action game, Mass Effect (Well, the last one was an action game anyway. RPG? Forget it!). However, writer Mark Protosevic (worked on Thor, I Am Legend) will no longer be penning the script...

Yep, renowned Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon has joined the cast of Bethesda's upcoming stealth-themed shooter, Dishonored. Amongst the cast are other well-known movie names such as Brad Dourif ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest")...
