Sometimes the scoops that we receive aren't exactly big and beefy. By that, the sender tells us a piece of important information but it's just a sentence worth of news, a small piece of newsworthy gossip but is it enough to write a whole article about?

Well, that's why we've decided to combine two separate scoops into one write-up. Both were sent by different scoopers on opposite sides of the planet and both are worthy of mention. So without further adieu:

-- As of this week, we're told that 20th Century Fox's bid-budget FANTASTIC FOUR movie is looking for a production office location in Vancouver, Canada -- which would mean the rumored $100+ million dollar production would shoot in the same city where X-MEN 2 lensed two years previous, and where BLADE: TRINITY is shooting now.

-- Another scooper told us what the filmmakers of SON OF THE MASK were working on recently. The production was shooting scenes in the dining rooms of Sydney, Australia's Eye Hospital last week. The MASK sequel is indeed lensing in Sydney and stars Jamie Kennedy, Alan Cumming, Bob Hoskins and Traylor Howard.

You can check out the complete chronicle of development for both films by following the links to the appropriate Development Heck pages at the bottom of this article.

[Thanks to our two peeps for using their digits. Hope to hear from you again soon!]
