Ghostbusters 3:

Bill Murray doesn't know much about the new Ghostbusters sequel storyline, but he really wants there to be a female ghostbuster. This may or may not be part of a scenario where the old gang hands off the mantle to a new group of ghostbusters, but either way, Murray thinks there are some funny women out there, who could join the crew. Start the write-in campaign for Tina Fey now! [MTV Movies]

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen:

New photos of the shooting at the "Boneyard" don't reveal much, except a whole mess of military planes, and Bumblebee on set. More pics at the link.[Mentallapse via Seibertron]

Our sister blog Jalopnik also had some pics of the shooting, and put a name to the Chevy Beat: it'll be a Transformer known as Skids. More pics at link. [Jalopnik]

Another eyewitness says Sideswipe and the blue Chevy Volt were also there, along with the red-and-green Chevy Trax. And they filmed a scene with a giant sheet of metal (possibly a stand-in for something) with a booming voice coming from it that sounded like Megatron or Jetfire, sounding really pissed off and loud. [Transformers Live]

Quarantine:

Wow, this movie sounds better and better. Star Jennifer Carpenter says she has tons of scenes where she runs around screaming, and the director kept telling her "More! More!" She plays a news reporter, who's doing a puff piece on local firefighters but then gets trapped in a building with a bunch of people suffering a mutant strain of rabies. [Sci Fi Wire]

And here are some more cast interviews. [IGN]

Lost:

So why do all of the Oceanic Six have to return to the island? It's not a mystical thing, it's pure science, according to Ben actor Michael Emerson. And now sources are claiming that the reason all six of the escapees are needed is because they must fan out to a set of Dharma Initiative stations all over the planet. These stations are the key to getting back to the island, which has been transported in space and/or time. And we may already have seen one of these stations before. [E! Online]

Meanwhile, the show is casting a character named Hajer, a Tunisian local "doctor" who may not have a medical degree, but has the experience to cope with whatever the harsh desert throws at him. He has a tough bedside manner but knows how to get the job done. [SpoilersLost]

Heroes:

Jack Coleman, who plays HRG, says his partnership with Sylar will get broken up during the "Villains" story arc, but they'll come back together in a dramatic way towards the end of the arc. Their partnership is a major part of the "Villains" storyline. And it doesn't sound as though HRG is ever going to be getting superpowers, except maybe temporarily. [BuddyTV]

In Monday's episode of Heroes, Peter Petrelli is so desperate, he can't even afford a shirt any more. And this upsets his mom. Luckily, he gets to have homoerotic incesty violence with his bro Sylar. Here are the pics to prove it. [Heroes Spoilers]

And here's a new promo that shows Arthur Petrelli in his full naughtiness. [Filipino Video Blogger]

Smallville:

This year, Chloe is caught between her good-girl Jimmy's bride persona and her dark side, which is drawn to Davis Bloome and wants to destroy stuff, because of the Brainiac inside her. You won't see as much of Clark and Chloe investigating stuff together — it'll be more Clark and Lois doing that. And Chloe definitely does marry Jimmy, but it's rumored that she dies and gets resurrected afterwards, or something. [TV Guide]

My Own Worst Enemy:

Here's a look into the cast of the new show about the guy with a faulty microchip in his brain, put there by the same guys who put a spy database in Chuck's brain. (I wonder if the two shows will ever cross over?) Sorry, video is U.S.-only, because NBC hates foreigners. [NBC]

Life On Mars:

The show's seventh episode will be called "The Man Who Sold The World." [SpoilerTV]

Sarah Connor Chronicles:

Remember those script pages for episode 13 we reviewed yesterday? More information about that episode has come up, by way of another casting call. The show is definitely casting a "crossdresser" character named Mark/Eileen, who is totally convincing as a woman, and looks good as a dude. (This is the person who says at one point that "they" killed Mark, and freed him/her up to stop living such a repressed life. Presumably meaning the machines.) We also meet a "kindly hypnotherapist" named Barbara, a warehouse clerk named Ed Winston, a religious leader named Pastor Jonas and a science nerd named Pete. [SpoilerTV]

Knight Rider:

Here's the official description for episode seven. We reviewed a huge chunk of this episode's script a while back.

A CRIMINAL COUPLE WITH CONGRESSIONAL TIES THREATENS TO REVEAL THE SECRETS OF KNIGHT INDUSTRIES — Knight Industries is hot on the trail of a Bonnie & Clyde-esque criminal couple, only to discover their true identities have a serious impact on a national congressional race. As the mission unfolds, Mike (Justin Bruening) and KITT (voiced by Val Kilmer) are forced into action to save Agent Rivai (Sydney Tamiia Poitier).

[SpoilerTV]

Additional reporting by Katharine Duckett.

Dan Aykroyd, Dr. Raymond Stantz himself, hinted at the third coming, saying that “two sharp young writers” were working on the impending Ghostbusters 3 script. According Variety, those two writers hired by Columbia are The Office co-exec producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky.

Rumors are still flying on what kind of Ghostbusters movie this will be, though many think it's going to be a "next generation" type flick with a new crew of busters capturing ghosts in today's world.

Supposedly, the studio is hoping to bring back the entire original cast which would include not only Ray, but Dr. Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis), Winston Zeddmore (Ernie Hudson) and the classic Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray).

I am sublimely happy about the resurrection of this movie, and I hope the new script will keep in the same classic one-liner humor that gave Ghostbusters possibly one of the most quotable dialogues around. Or in the top 10 at least.

With the continued, somewhat inexplicable, success of Hancock, it seems that the only constant in Hollywood math is "(Will Smith) + (4th of July Weekend) x (Genre Movie) = $$$." Bearing that in mind, we thought that it's be kind of us to demonstrate to some stalled SF movie projects just to how to use the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (and, let's face it, wherever else he wants to be the Prince of, these days) to get their movies up and running again.

Halo
Will Smith is...: The Mysterious Master Chief.
Why This Works: Sure, in the games (and the novels, and the comic books), you never see Master Chief's face, but just as that didn't work for the Judge Dredd movie, it's not going to work here, either. Pull up that visor and let's see the sensitive man underneath who knows that war is hell and space war even moreso. Smith got an Oscar nomination for The Pursuit of Happyness, so let's see him bring the pain here. Literally.

The Six Million Dollar Man
Will Smith is...: Well, Steve Austen, obviously.
Why This Works: Isn't it time to ruin another '70s TV show with the same kind of comedy treatment that worked so well for Starsky And Hutch? Put Smith in the familiar role and let him play it for laughs - Austen's cybernetic upgrade not only gives him more strength, super-powered eyesight and the ability to run surprisingly quickly, but also the power to loosen up his uptight white boss, played by Billy Bob Thornton, continuing his streak of slumming it in broad comedies. Throw in a Will Farrell cameo and it's box office gold, baby.

Ghostbusters 3
Will Smith is...: Nerdy accountant Louis Tully.
Why This Works: So Rick Moranis doesn't want to come back to the role that made him famous? That's no problem - Replace him with an even bigger star. Here's your explanation as to how it happened: Between movies, Tully had a terrible accident that forced him to have an incredible amount of reconstructive surgery. When he recovered from the surgery, he was a changed man: Tall, attractive, charismatic... and no longer afraid of no ghosts.

Green Lantern
Will Smith is...: Hal Jordan. Admit it; you thought I was going to say John Stewart, didn't you?
Why This Works: Smith takes on the role of ladykiller test pilot Jordan, the one man who can save the world through the power of his mind. It's the next step of Smith's Independence Day role, but with the added benefit of a lack of Jeff Goldblum's scientist hacker. Plus, who wouldn't want to see Smith in this role, besides the legion of fanboys who'd get upset that they didn't pick a white actor?

Wild Wild West 2
Will Smith is...: Captain James West.
Why This Works: ...Okay, maybe this is the exception that proves the rule. Never mind.
