Bryan Singer May Bring Forth an Excalibur Remake
Maybe it's because I'm not completely precious about the early-'80s movie, but for whatever reason, this is a remake I actually wouldn't mind seeing made with modern-day technology. Warner Brothers and director Bryan Singer are reportedly in talks to bring Camelot, Lancelot, and Guenevere back to the big screen in a remake of the 1981 film Excalibur. Here's more:
The [1981] movie told the well-known myth, in a gritty and dramatic fashion, of the young man who draws the sword Excalibur from a stone, is mentored by Merlin, establishes Camelot, loses his wife, Guenevere, to his best friend, Lancelot, and engages in the quest for the Holy Grail.
Ryan Reynolds Nabs Green Lantern Role
Last week, it appeared to come down to three rather different guys as options for playing the Green Lantern in Warner Bros. upcoming big-budget, "full-blown space epic": Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake. Based on my poll, the majority of you thought Reynolds would be best for the role, and it turns out, the studio agrees.
Will You Wait Two Extra Weeks to See Harry Potter in IMAX?
Don't freak out — Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is still scheduled to open nationwide on July 14, but for two weeks the only option will be to see the movie on your normal movie screens (with the exception of two theaters: one in New York and one in Los Angeles).

What Was Your Favorite WB Show?
The WB network, once home of greats like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dawson's Creek, met its demise in 2006 when the CW was formed. But starting next month, the WB will be revived — this time as a website that will stream classic WB series and new content from producers including Josh Schwartz and McG.
It's not clear yet exactly which shows will end up on the site (I'm assuming the popular ones are a lock — but what about the short-lived ones like Grosse Point?) The site will also show series produced by Warner Bros.

Clooney's Brand Nabs "Crisis"

According to Variety, the movie is being re-envisioned as a dark comedy about "the dangers of exporting American democracy." The "dark comedy" bit is curious, because the excellent 2005 documentary is anything but funny.
