MTV are report­ing that the movie adap­ta­tion of War­craft now appears to have a title, ‘War­craft: The Rise Of The Lich King’. The title falls in-line with a recently released NY Times best-selling book, “Arthas: Rise of the Lich King”. How­ever, they cite the source of this infor­ma­tion to be the unre­li­able and socially pow­ered IMDB​.com, which has since removed the phrase.

If we are to believe the sub­ti­tle and that the movie will fol­low in the foot­steps of the book, then the plot would revolve around Arthas Menethil,

a once-noble prince and war­rior who becomes a fear­some tyrant known as the Lich King.

I’d take this with a big grain of salt and instead wait for some offi­cial word.

Post­ing on the Don Mur­phy forums, Roberto Orci has con­firmed that nei­ther he nor Alex Kurtz­man will be return­ing for the third episode in the Trans­form­ers tril­ogy. Ehren Kruger (The Ring, Scream 3, Trans­form­ers Revenge of the Fallen) is tak­ing over from the pair.

So Bob and Alex is it true. you wont be involved this time round.
It’s true.

Sorry to hear that Roberto, really I am. Are we in good hands with Mr. Kruger? Does he know his Trans­form­ers?
He does. He really did his home­work. He’s awesome.

Stel­lan Skarsgård’s son, Alexan­der, was orig­i­nally con­sid­ered as a strong can­di­date for the Thor role, but in the end lost out to Star Trek man Chris Hemsworth. Swedish site Ystads Alle­handa report that Stel­lan has been cast in the movie, but his role is deeply secre­tive. So secre­tive in fact, the stu­dio wanted the actor to sign with­out read­ing the script; he refused until he received a copy (albeit an encoded version).

Ryan Reynolds recently appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fal­lon, where he talked very briefly about his upcom­ing role as Hal Jor­dan. The footage is on Hulu (you need to be in the US to watch this) and the gritty bit begins around the 21 minute mark. Video via SHH.

EW​.com have posted a new image show­ing Tony Stark in his Iron Man suit at a diner, pre­sum­ably Randy’s Donuts, which we’ve seen in film­ing. Accord­ing to the SDCC footage, which pre­ma­turely leaked on the inter­net, this scene will fea­ture Stark talk­ing to Nick Fury (Samuel Jack­son), Jack­son was also spot­ted in the vicin­ity of Randy’s Donuts dur­ing filming.

The sixth video from Enter­tain­ment Tonight’s exclu­sive Iron Man 2 set visit is now up. This time Don Chea­dle talks about his roles in the sequel, namely as Rhodey and the already infa­mous War Machine. Video after the break…

Spec­u­lated as early as Decem­ber 2008, and more solidly in March this year, we heard a June/July 2011 release date for Trans­form­ers 3 was on the cards. How­ever, Michael Bay rebutted these remarks, sug­gest­ing he wanted a year off from mechan­i­cal beasts to work on some­thing a lit­tle different.

How­ever, Bay has now con­firmed via his blog that Trans­form­ers 3 will hit the­aters in July 2011. He also left a mes­sage for Megan Fox,

Well its offi­cial: We have a great Trans­form­ers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012.

Today is Day One. This morn­ing started with an ILM meet­ing for five hours in San Fran­cisco. Cur­rently I’m fly­ing with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Has­bro about new characters.

P.S. Megan Fox, wel­come back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way dur­ing the pro­duc­tion of this motion pic­ture. Please con­sult your Physi­cian when work­ing under my direc­tion because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizzi­ness, intense nau­sea, sui­ci­dal ten­den­cies, depres­sion, minor chest hair growth, ran­dom inter­nal hem­or­rhag­ing and inabil­ity to sleep. As some direc­tors may be haz­ardous to your health, please con­sult your Doc­tor to deter­mine if this is right for you.

Pain and Gain is right after shoot­ing of Trans 3.
