I've posted this on several threads already, but here it is again,
On a seperate note, it seems that Jarrod is on vacation but Mania seems to be leaving out some headlines and rumors that deserve some mention
1- Guy Ritchie is J.Silver's choice to direct Sgt.Rock from DC comics.
2-Kick Ass comic is in pre-production already.
3-Cap's shield makes a cameo in IronMan.Check the still on Latest Maniac's Updates
4-Another site is reporting that Marvel will invest 150 to 300mil on Thor and it will be the most "fantastic" Marvel adaptation to date and Pitt is the name being tossed around for the role.
5-"Hancock" is doing reshoots in NY. Usually bad news this late in the game. The film has failed to get a pg13 rating two times and isn't testing well so far.
6-Here is a link for some semi-nude shots of Megan Fox...http://www.wwtdd.com/post.phtml?pk=6142
7-Transformers 2 is rumored to be heading for the 3D treatment
8-The one that's eating at me the most, this is just a rumor, but some sites are saying that Matt McConaughey is being considered for Captain America
