NEWS AND GOSSIP FROM THE SET

The Captain America movie has gone through another rewrite and is now ready to shoot - "We're definitely going to shoot it in a different way than any of the other Marvel pictures have been shot. What I'm trying to do is look at the comics, mostly the new ones, mostly the Brubaker series, and to interpret that sort of visual style into a film in a way that I think has been tried before but it always looks like it's a little too on the nose. It looks like, 'Oh, they're shooting a comic book movie.' I want to try something a little bit different." Joe Johnson, director

Early reviews on The Wolfman are mostly negative - The first reviews of this film are popping up, and they're mostly pretty damning — and full of spoilers. It's compared to, among other things, Ang Lee's Hulk, and one reviewer urges you to watch a Syfy original movie instead.

The 1970's monsters, the Silurians will be returning to Doctor Who - The stories have got a bit darker. I play twins, and they're big lizardwarrior women. They're one of the Silurian tribes that have been undisturbed under the earth. And of course we get disturbed. It's the first time I've worn prosthetics but I'm still recognisable if you know me well enough. But there'll probably be lots of people going, 'Who the hell is that?' Actress, Neve Mcintosh

The Archive can reveal that John Carter of Mars will be shooting in the UK next week.

The rumours that MGM/Sony or whoever owns the rights this week, are looking to re-cast the role of James Bond have been denied. The Archive thinks that given the mess that was QOS, maybe there's no smoke without fire.
