Word has it Samuel L. Jackson is playing Nick Fury in Marvel Comics' upcoming Iron Man film. The part is just a cameo, but may serve as a teaser for a full-length Fury film.

Speaking of Iron Man:

The mysterious mind behind "Dial B for Burbank" files his last post, just he did with his previous "Dial B for Blog." But, don't despair--it looks like he's got another project in the works.

Anne Hathaway talks about playing Agent 99 in the upcoming "Get Smart" film.
"We all love the original series," Hathaway said in an interview on the set in Los Angeles last May. "And you will not find bigger fans than us. And we all decided we wanted to be very respectful, while at the same time wanting to put our own mark on the film. So what we talked about with Agent 99 was rather than making her a carbon copy of Barbara Feldon's creation, we decided to respect the spirit of 99, which was that she was a fully realized woman of her time. So rather than take Barbara Feldon and put her in 2008, ... when the film comes out, we decided to make 99 a fully actualized woman of 2008. And so, as a result, I do get some zingers. I'm a little bit of a hell-raiser. And, hopefully, we also retain some of the elegance of the original character."

A big batch of Jim Henson's retired muppets are being gifted to Atlanta's Center for Puppetry Arts.
Cheryl Henson, Jim Henson’s second-oldest daughter, and Jane Henson, her mother and Mr. Henson’s first performing partner, expected to be in Atlanta on Wednesday to announce the gift: 500 to 700 puppets, including some of the first Muppets built; props; scenic elements; posters; sketches; and drawings that Mr. Henson created for shows like “The Muppet Show,” “Sesame Street,” “Fraggle Rock” and “Sam and Friends” (where the Muppets first appeared). Cheryl Henson has also pledged $1 million of her own money to the center.

Here's a fresh pic from the upcoming Iron Man movie starring Robert Downey Jr.
Samuel L. Jackson and Hilary Swank reportedly make cameo appearances in the film.
------------------------
Warner Bros. plans a big-screen film based on DC Comics' weird Western character, Jonah Hex.
Hex, known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform, was a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood.
...The filmmakers are not making a straight-ahead Western but plan to develop the character with some of the supernatural overtones in the hopes of creating a franchise.
--------------------------
Also in the works is a film adaptation of DC's Y: The Last Man series.

Comic Mix looks at how The Shadow served as a key inspiration for Batman.

The New York Times takes an early look at the straight-to-DVD animated version of Darwyn Cooke's DC: The New Frontier comic.
“The New Frontier” would be one of the first three adult-oriented DC projects to be given the straight-to-DVD treatment and will sit alongside similar full-length adventures of Superman and Batman; DVD collections of the animated television series “Superfriends,” “Justice League” and “Batman Beyond,” among others, have been popular with fans. “I was kind of floored by the call and the fact that this was being done,” said Darwyn Cooke, 45, the writer and artist behind the comic. The news came from Gregory Noveck, the senior vice president of creative affairs at DC Comics, a unit of Time Warner. The company wanted to produce a series of direct-to-DVD animated films that would, unlike its previous efforts, more closely follow the source material.
----------------------
"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," will be even bigger and more visually stunning than its predecessor, reports Sci Fi Wire.
"Narnia had been created approximately 900 years before the last film took place," director Andrew Adamson said. "This is now another 1,300 years later. Narnia has been oppressed by Telmarines for a large period of that time. So it's a dirtier, grittier, darker place than the last world was. When the kids come back in, they bring a lot of nostalgia with them, and they think they are going back to the place they knew. And instead, they've come back to a very changed world."

Some viewers weren't thrilled by the Beatles' worldwide TV broadcast of "All You Need is Love" 40 years ago--and the band was never told.
Newly released documents revealed some viewers considered the Liverpool band unworthy of representing Britain in the show, the Sunday Telegraph newspaper reported Sunday.
..."Have we nothing better to offer? Surely this isn't the image of what we are like. What a dreadful impression they must have given the rest of the world," one comment read, the newspaper reported.
Another viewer, impressed by contributions from elsewhere, said "after all the culture ... shown by the other countries, the Beatles were the absolute dregs," the newspaper claimed.
"We did not do ourselves justice," another viewer commented.
