Let's Put A Smile On That Face: Fan Artist Imagines Jackie Earle Haley As The Joker
As the cackle of the Joker makes its way from the pages of DC's comic books and to our screens once more, fans can't help but "smile" at the opportunity to see a darker take on the criminal clown. Martin Scorsese is already circling a #Joker origin movie, with Leonardo DiCaprio as a firm favorite to slip into the purple suit, but who else could play the Clown Prince of Crime?

I 'Wonder' Why? Kate Beckinsale Reveals Why She Didn't Play Wonder Woman
These days, Kate Beckinsale may be remembered as the blood-sucking Selene from Sony's Underworld series, but could you ever imagine her suiting up to play the comic book legend that is Wonder Woman? While Gal Gadot ditched the tights and took Diana Prince to our screens for the DECU, Warner Bros. nearly lassoed Beckinsale for the role in the early '00s. With that Amazonian physique and screen-heroine personality, Beckinsale would undoubtedly have been a popular choice for the role, but why did it never happen?

A Vaughn Again Hero: Matthew Vaughn Wants To Direct A Fantastic Four Reboot
There is one name that you just can't seem to escape from in Hollywood, and it's that of Fox's golden (circle) boy Matthew Vaughn. After waving his directorial magic over the likes of Layer Cake and Stardust, Vaughn biggest endeavor was to overhaul the X-Men following 2006's maligned The Last Stand. Seeming to find his niche, Vaughn has continued to excel in the genre of comic books and graphic novels, but what could be next in his sights?

Oh, I Just Can't Wait To Be Queen: Beyoncé In Final Talks To Star And Sing In 'The Lion King' Remake
I think you should "listen," because there is some potentially huge news coming straight out of the jungle for Disney's live-action adaptation of The Lion King. As the cast snares big names like Donald Glover, a returning James Earl Jones, and latest additions Alfre Woodward and John Kani, there is still one major role left to fill for #JonFavreau's modern interpretation. As one of the hottest tickets in town, the question on everyone's lips is who will be playing Simba's prowling playmate Nala? While the two start as friends and then end as lovers, Nala is key to the plot of #TheLionKing, however, an outside name has found herself moving to the front of the pride.

Yabba Dabba Don't: Seth MacFarlane Is Finally Giving Up On His 'Flintstones' Reboot
They say that a rolling (Flint) stone gathers no moss, but what on Earth is going on with everyone's favorite modern Stone Age family? After the dino-mite success of Hanna-Barbera's '60s cartoon, The Flinstones has struggled to move with the times. Those of us who grew up in the '90s will remember Brian Levant's campy live-action movie from 1994 that starred John Goodman, Rosie O'Donnell, and Halle Berry. #TheFlintstones was a like it or lump it affair, which scored big at the box office and was followed by the inevitable prequel/sequel, but Viva Rock Vegas sent the series back to the Stone Age in 2000.

I'm On The Egerton Of Glory: Taron Egerton Wants A Huge Star To Join 'Kingsman 3'
It really is the "spies" the limit when it comes to securing big Hollywood names for Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman movies. The recent release of Kingsman: The Golden Circle being a prime example, and going off-piste from Mark Millar's graphic novels, The Golden Circle took liberties to create its own cavalcade of colorful characters known as the Statesmen. Bulking the already impressive cast with the likes of Jeff Bridges, Halle Berry, and Channing Tatum, Vaughn certainly upped the star factor from 2014's first film.
