I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Yup, we all know the man and the monologue.

The days of actors and actresses getting $20 million for a movie role are over. They can get paid much more now.

Marvel’s The Avengers is a global box-office sensation, but among studio executives, it’s being hailed as much as a triumph of smart dealmaking.

According to multiple knowledgeable sources, Tony Stark himself, Robert Downey Jr. is set for a highflying payday of about $50 million once box-office bonuses and backend compensation are factored in. Two sources claim the number could go higher than $50 million once the ultimate box-office haul of Avengers is known, but another cautions that it could be years before the final number is known.

Johansson appeared in costume as actress Janet Leigh this week, donning an early ’60s-era skirt and blouse.

The first photos from The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty have been released.

Based on the short story by James Thurber, Ben Stiller directs and stars in the film adaptation, about a timid magazine photo manager who lives life vicariously through awesome daydreams where he always beats the bad guys and gets the girls, but must embark on a true-life adventure when an important negative goes missing in the real world.

This is a remake of the 1947 film that starred Danny Kaye.

“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” co-stars Kristen Wiig, Adam Scott, Patton Oswalt and Shirley MacLaine. It’s scheduled for release in early 2013.

Marvel Studios Has Two Secret Projects

Posted by ActSean on May 14th, 2012

With The Avengers breaking box office records, and sequels for Iron Man, Thor and Captain America all in pre-production, Marvel Studios has a bright and busy future ahead of them.

Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios president, is now teasing fans with two unannounced projects.

“We want to do two films a year. ‘Avengers’ is our only film this year, but in a week and a half we begin filming ‘Iron Man 3.’ By the end of the summer we’ll be working on the next ‘Thor’ film, early next year the next ‘Captain America’ film,” Feige said. “Those are the three we’ve announced so far; we’ve got two beyond that that we haven’t announced yet, but we’re working on.”

“Iron Man 3″ is due out in theaters on May 3, 2013, “Thor 2″ comes out November 15, 2013, “Captain America 2″ on April 4, 2014. So which two projects are next after that?

A third Hulk movie with Mark Ruffalo? Does Black Widow or Hawkeye get their own solo projects? Or is there some other Marvel superheroes (not in The Avengers) who haven’t gotten their movie yet? Perhaps Dr. Strange?
