In this weeks Mid Week Movie News Wrap Up features:

The Ghost just got very curious; 2012 is a long way away; Josh Whedon has A Cabin In The Woods and Tom and Jerry…well you guess the rest!

In this Weeks Weekend Movie News Wrap Up::

Clint Eastwood drives to the top of the box office with Gran Torino; Ewan McGregor is Pierce Brosnan’s Ghost; Sienna Miller will not be visiting Nottingham; Morricone is not a Basterd; Moore, Neeson and Seyfried know Chloe; the Joker may have the last laugh in Batman 3 and Farrell, Weir and Harris are on their Way Back.

One of the most depressing things about writing movie news is that you see how much garbage is produced by Hollywood. Every day you look at remakes, sequels, adaptations and think – “why, Lord, why?”

Then you forget about it and move on to another equally depressing story. I’m not complaining here… well I am, but I love doing this. What keeps me excited is a day like today, when I see great news – news that might not set the box office on fire, but news that should make for an interesting film.

Today’s news?

Pierce Brosnan and Nicolas Cage will be directed by Roman Polanski in the The Ghost, a thriller based on the novel by Thomas Harris. The film will also star Tilda Swinton and Kim Cattrall.

This may not have been a teaming that I would have thought about and hoped for, but now that it’s here – I’m a very happy man.
