News, Rumors & 100% Grade-A Internet Bullshit - November 5, 2009

- Audiences can continue gracing the beard of Zach Galifianakis as my Movie Moan pal Ed Hocken put it. The Hangover star will provide the voice of Humpty Dumpty in Puss in Boots according to THR. Seems like the Shrek spin-off has been in development forever now. Not that I care about this. That series lost me at the third one. Go ahead and laugh, but everyone loved the dumb ogre when the first two films were released.
- 20th Century Fox is finally getting off their ass and marketing Avatar to the masses. A TV spot aired during the World Series last night. The good folks over at Latino Review have the commercial in question for your enjoyment. Talk about misleading people – you’d swear this was another Aliens by the way it’s painted here.
- Thank God. To think, I was afraid studios were wasting everyone’s time with the most mundane of ideas. Deadline Hollywood has it that Sony now has a film version of the board-game Risk in development.
- Pajiba has received word that Chris “Captain Kirk” Pine will headline The Blade Itself. In fact, the actor has been attached to the adaptation of the crime novel since before Star Trek opened last May. He’s said to be meeting with a potential director soon-ish. Keeping his work-load full of non-genre movies before doing the Trek sequel? Pine is indeed a smart man.
- David Goyer clarifies what to expect from this new Ghost Rider film to MTV. It won’t be a reboot as originally speculated, but a sequel set years after the original. Hence why Nicolas Cage is returning. We can also expect it to be more realistic – you know, like Casino Royale. Does that mean Johnny Blaze will have his balls beaten?
