It looks like there’s just too much choice out there for director Tony Scott. The Top Gun director has several projects lined up to go – but he can’t just decide which to shoot first. There’s only one thing for sure, and that is that it looks like he’s out of the running to direct Wolverine 2.

The veteran helmer is pondering the John Grisham adaptation The Associate, which has Shia LaBeouf lined up to star; he also has his long-gestating Hell’s Angels film, which also has LaBeouf onboard alongside Mickey Rourke. There’s also Potzdamer Platz, which would also star Rourke. Still with me?

It’s hard to believe that we are now into December. It seems like only yesterday I was talking about the big summer releases – and now we are looking forward to next years big movies.

This weeks Weekend Movie News Wrap Up features the obligatory box office wrap up as well as:
