The new lady werewolf series is still in development, but the script comes from Superman Returns and X2 screenwriter Michael Dougherty.

Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts, Pushing Daisies producers, are on board to supervise Dougherty, and since it's being described as a quirky fairy tale, they seem like a great fit.

So this would be the next in the long line of werewolf projects coming out next year. What, is the mainstream public sick of Vampires already? With The Wolfman, Twilight's wolf-centric New Moon sequel and the werewolf that should be joining the pack on True Blood, werewolves are becoming the next vampires. I'm just not looking forward to the after-feasting gab session that these ladies are certain to have.

"OMG I totally bit Mark, and now I have to tell him he's going to be a werewolf but we're not talking because he bought me filler flowers for my birthday," says the annoying one.

"Who cares? Just bite around, because I'm the slutty one," says the slutty one.

"Why do you people depend on men for food anyway? I hunt NYC rats and homeless people at night, so it's not all messy," says the gay one.

"ZOMG cupcakes are totes out, doughnuts are in, my waistline can't keep up with midnight slaughters and homemade doughnuts," says other one.

Cackles fill a chic bistro in the West Village.

End Scene.

Silver bullets for everyone!

<![CDATA[An Entire Planet Of Jet Li's Bitches]]> The only awesome moment in The One, starring Jet Li, comes at the very end of the movie. (So don't click if you haven't seen it.) An evil version of Jet Li has been hopping from alternate universe to alternate universe, killing other versions of himself so he can absorb their energy and become a superbeing. Then he comes to "our" Earth to kill his last remaining counterpart. It's mostly an excuse for scenes of Jet Li fighting a painfully obvious stunt double while Jason Statham scowls. But the ending rules. Spoilers ahead!

As punishment for his dimension-hopping, serial-killer ways, the evil Jet Li gets sent to the Stygian Penal Colony in the Hades Dimension. It's an evil planet in an evil universe. You just know that no planet in the Hades Dimension could possibly be a nice place. All the other inmates size him up and decide that he's got a pretty mouth (which he totally does), but Jet Li announces that they will all be his bitches. (He has incredible stamina.) And then we pan back to some truly incredibly conceptual design of this barren prison planet with a gray spaceship flying overhead. All of a sudden The One looks like a real scifi movie. And then it's over.
