Spiderman 3:
NEWS:
The teaser will be up at Apple Trailers this afternoon around 2:30. Maybe we’ll get a glimpse of The Sandman in action and a first look at Venom. Sit back this afternoon and watch fan boys across the globe crash Apple’s site and quite possibly the entire Internet too.
PLOT (with spoilers):
J. Jonah Jameson Jr. returns from a mission from space with mysterious sample. This sample bonds itself to Peter Parker and gives him enhanced powers along with a new suit. Using his new found powers Peter must face the second Green Goblin, Harry Osborn after Harry discovered Spider-Man's true identity. Eventually Harry seeks help from Sandman, a new villain who was transformed due to radiation from an atomic bomb being tested.

Wolverine:
NEWS:
Speculations abound as to whether Wolverine’s solo movie will be a prequel (harking back to his Weapon X days or stinit in Japan) or whether it’ll take place after the events of X3: The Last Stand (which I still haven’t seen). Personally, I vote for Weapon X.
Today I caught a little glimmer of hope for the movie from one of the co-writers of X3, Simon Kinberg (who apparently will be involved with the Wolverine movie):
“Sabretooth will be in there, but I don’t know in what form. I think his relationship with Wolverine is under explored.”
But I also gathered this little load of crap from him as well:
“Hugh has lived with Wolverine for five years and he knows this character better than anybody. He knows him better than Chris Claremont or better than Avi Arad, and certainly better than any of us working on this film.”
Bullshit. Granted, Chris Claremont’s stuff has taken a less than stellar turn over the past couple of years, but he wrote Wolverine longer than anyone else has; and if anyone knows Wolverine, it’s probably Claremont.
PLOT (with serious, but highly kick-ass, possible spoilers):
The mutant Wolverine, former member of the X-Men, is back to is homeland Canada to search more clues about is past. But soon he meets a mutant criminal named Gambit, and discovered that his foe Sabretooth is still alive and now he leads a group of evil mutant who wants to use the power of the legendary monster Wendigo to rule the world. Meanwhile, Wolverine meets again his former love, but now her big brother and his yakuza wants to kill her. Wolverine and Gambit most save her with the help of... Sabretooth?
Speculation at it's best. Nothing's confirmed though. Well, except Sabretooth and a mystery character being in it...

Pirates of the Caribbean 3:
NEWS:
Possibly subtitled “At World’s End”, it will indeed have Keith Richards in it, possibly as Cpt. Jack Sparrow’s father. Johnny Depp has been lobbying to have Richards in it for a while now, and has even said that he based Cpt. Jack’s swagger, demeanor, etc. on Richards. (insert your own falling out of a tree joke here)
PLOT (with spoilers):
The age of piracy is coming to a close, but not before one final dispute is settled. Will Turner sails to the Far East to find magical charts which will help him to find Davy Jones's locker and save his friend Jack Sparrow. Jack is rescued but... Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander), demonic Asian pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat), and commodore James Norrington (Jack Davenport) have formed a wicked alliance that threatens the freedom of Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, their new ally captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and all pirates in the world. Emerging victorious requires that Jack lead his crew off the edge of the map and into the uncharted territory on the seven seas. To the Shipwreck island on the end of the world.

Watchmen:
NEWS:
Zach Snyder ("Dawn of the Dead", "300") has come aboard to develop and direct Warner Bros. long-gestating film adaptation of the 1986 twelve-issue comic series "Watchmen" by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons says The Hollywood Reporter. Alex Tse is writing the script adaptation of the film which has been in development for over a decade, gone through at least four studios and had such luminaries as Terry Gilliam, Darren Aronofsky and Paul Greengrass attached to direct. Snyder landed the job after impressing Warners with "300," an adaptation of a Frank Miller graphic novel that he directed and co-wrote that's due out next year.
PLOT:
Watchmen is a story set in an alternative 1985, where the world is ticking closer to the brink of nuclear war, and a plot to eliminate a band of ex-crimefighters is instigated, but why? and by whom? It is up to two of those ex-crimefighters to investigate the plot that seems to go beyond the unthinkable.

That’s enough for today, class. If I run across anything else worth a damn, I’ll pass it along.
