Michael Keaton will join Lindsay Lohan in Herbie: Fully Loaded, a new movie in Disney's venerable The Love Bug franchise, Variety reported. Angela Robinson is directing. Keaton takes the role after completing First Daughter for director Forest Whitaker.
The original 1968 The Love Bug starred Dean Jones and Buddy Hackett in a comedy about a Volkswagen beetle with a mind of its own. Tom Lennon and Robert Ben Garant wrote the new Herbie, which sets the story in the world of NASCAR racing.
Steve Carell will star as bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart in Warner Brothers' upcoming movie Get Smart, a remake of the 1960s spy-spoof TV show, which starred Don Adams, Variety reported. Screenwriter Steve Koren (Bruce Almighty) will tailor Get Smart to the comic actor.
Warner has been trying for several years to make a film of the secret-agent comedy, created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. Will Ferrell was attached last year, but he has been so busy that the project languished.
NIP/TUCK's Julian McMahon has signed on to play the iron fisted Victor Von Doom in FANTASTIC FOUR. Doom -- second only in the Marvel villain pantheon by the X-MEN's Magneto (played by Sir Ian McKellan in those films) -- Victor is a college rival of FF patriarch Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffud, KING ARTHUR), until Doom's face is ruined in an accident he blames on Richards. Since then, Doom has realized his role as the hereditary leader of a small Romanian country and his quest for vengeance against the Richards clan, all while wearing a suit of high tech armor that disguises his deformities, both physical and mental.

Matthew Lillard, who played Shaggy in the two live-action Scooby-Doo films, told SCI FI Wire that there is no hope for a third installment. "There will be no Scooby 3," Lillard said in an interview.
Lillard blamed the film's disappointing box-office performance. Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed made more than $80 million at the U.S. box office, but that fell far short of the original Scooby-Doo's $154 million haul. "The second one didn't do as well as it was expected to do, and I completely hold that to Warner Brothers' fault," Lillard said. "I think Warner Brothers made a mistake releasing it at the time they did [March 2004]. I think the movie's much better than the first movie, and I honestly thought it was going to do ridiculously good box office. But we had a bad timeslot. We had 13 movies open up in two weeks after we opened up. I mean, it did well, but it didn't do great, and it needed to do great." _________________ Toonami visual schedule - UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2015

In the wake of director Bryan Singer's decision to forgo a third X-Men film for Fox in favor of a proposed Superman movie for Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox has terminated its production deal with Singer, and Warner has signed him up, Variety reported. In addition to Superman, Singer has signed on to helm Warner's Logan's Run remake. Fox reportedly asked Singer to vacate his offices on the Fox lot in Century City, Calif.
Insiders told Variety that Singer's Warner deal is not an expensive one, because Singer only develops projects he plans on shooting and is not the sort of producer who develops numerous projects or demands a hefty discretionary fund.
The third X-Men movie is now in limbo, but insiders told Variety that Singer would be happy to be involved with the movie, even if only as a producer, though that's Fox's call. _________________ Toonami visual schedule - UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2015

A spokesman from DreamWorks confirmed to Sci Fi Wire that the upcoming supernatural sequel film The Ring 2, starring Naomi Watts and Simon Baker, has been pushed back to Spring 2005 from its original November release date because of production delays. The sequel to 2002's hit The Ring, based on the Japanese Ringu movies, ran into problems when the studio and first-time director Noam Murro parted ways in March over "creative differences."
Murro was replaced by the director of the original Ringu films, Hideo Nakata, but subsequent delays have caused scheduling conflicts with leading lady Watts, who is supposed to start filming King Kong for Peter Jackson in New Zealand this month. _________________ Toonami visual schedule - UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2015

"Nobody has approached me about the X-Men franchise," Whedon said in an interview. But, he added, "would I like to make an X-Men movie? That'd be bitchin'. And I really think that, you know, I actually really like those actors, and I really like those characters, and I think there's a lot that could be done with it, and I think it would be a romp. But I'm not setting my sights on that."

Ben Kingsley has been signed to play the vampire Kagan, the evil ruler of an army of bloodsuckers, in the film adaptation of the videogame BLOODRAYNE, opposite Kristanna Loken (TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES), the ASSOCIATED PRESS reported. The film chronicles the adventures of a half-vampire, half-human in 18th-century Romania who has the super strength of a monster countered by the emotions of a person.
Loken will play the heroine, a half-vampire, who must overthrow Kingsley's character –who is also her father – in order to save the world from the living dead. The $47 million movie is set to begin filming in Romania this month from a script by Guinevere Turner, according to videogame publisher Majesco, which released the game.
BLOODRAYNE is being produced by 1st Boll Kino Beteiligungs GmbH and Rightlight Pictures Inc. with director Uwe Boll (HOUSE OF THE DEAD, ALONE IN THE DARK), who keeps scoring with his adaptations of videogames to the big screen.

Kevin Smith is making another convenience store run.
The writer-director of Dogma, Chasing Amy, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back told the Associated Press on Friday that he has begun work on a sequel to Clerks, his homemade indie classic from 1994.
That $27,000 movie, shot at night in a store where Smith worked, chronicled the adventures of Dante and Randal, two guys who talk about life, death, sex and movies while working at neighboring stores.
The sequel picks up 10 years later.
"It's about what happens when that lazy, 20-something malaise lasts into your 30s. Those dudes are kind of still mired, not in that same exact situation, but in a place where it's time to actually grow up and do something more than just sit around and dissect pop culture and talk about sex," Smith said during an interview at his Hollywood office. "It's: What happened to these dudes?"
A new 10th anniversary DVD of Clerks debuts Sept. 7, and Smith said working on that three-disc set inspired him to write about what became of those characters.
The sequel - titled The Passion of the Clerks - is set to begin shooting in January. Miramax Films, which turned the original into a cult-hit after buying it at the Sundance Film Festival, plans to distribute the follow-up.
"It's funny, it's very raw, insanely foul-mouthed. In many ways it's the antithesis of Jersey Girl," Smith said, referring to his recent PG-13 comedy with Ben Affleck as the widowed father of a little girl.
Smith is also writing the screenplay for a movie version of The Green Hornet, but no longer thinks he will direct it. The Clerks movie has moved to the top of his to-do list.
He said he called Jeff Anderson, who played the combative video-store worker Randal, and Brian O'Halloran, who was the besieged-by-strangeness convenience store employee Dante, to run the idea by them first.
"Jeff was actually very protective of Clerks," Smith said. "Jeff was like, 'Are you sure you want to do this? That movie means a lot to people and do you want to go back?' I thought about it honestly, and it would seem chicken to not give it a shot just because I'm afraid of (messing) with the first film."
So far, he said he has gotten only positive responses from the people who have read the script, so he decided to move forward with it. Both O'Halloran and Anderson are signed on, and Jason Mewes, will return as stoner Jay, the "hetero life-mate" of Smith's stoic Silent Bob.
"I'm sure there will be naysayers who say, 'Oh my God, it's an opportunistic grab at a buck,' but it's not. We're doing it for nothing," Smith said. "We're going to do it insanely inexpensively. The budget will be somewhere between 250 grand and $5 million."
The original was shot pre-dawn, and most of the actors worked for free and then went straight to their day-jobs with little or no sleep.
"This time around we'll afford ourselves the luxury of nice 12-hour days," Smith said. "And people can get paid."
We should celebrate, but I'm too tired. My back hurts. _________________ I shake like a toothache,
