The Hollywood Reporter announces that Jenna Dewan ("Step Up") and Luke Goss ("Hellboy 2") will star in a movie version of the comic book series "Magdalena." Gale Anne Hurd's Valhalla Motion Pictures, Platinum Studios and Top Cow Prods. are producing the project.

Goss will play Kristof, an agent sent by the secret organization that has been the guardian of the lineage.

The Hollywood Reporter announces today that Wesley Strick ("Cape Fear," "Doom") has been hired to pen the remake of "A Nightmare on Elm St.," which is currently under development at New Line Cinema. Warner Bros. is hoping to get the film out in time for the 25th anniversary of the original.

Starting in 1984, the "Nightmare" franchise told of a child killer named Freddy Krueger who was killed in a fire and came back to haunt teenagers in their dreams. Filmmakers are hoping to make the new film darker in tone and will dive deeper into the psychology of dreams and Krueger himself.

Richard Brener, Walter Hamada and Dave Neustadter are producing the project.

Variety reports that "X2" and "Superman Returns" director Bryan Singer will produce for Warner Bros. a feature film project based on the comic book series "Capeshooters." Singer will oversee production via his Bad Hat Harry production company.

J.P. Lavin and Chad Damiani will pen the screenplay. The project is based on an upcoming comic creation by Rob Liefeld, the former Marvel Comics artist who left to become co-founder of Image Comics.

"Capeshooters" tells of two slackers who become paparazzi to the superheroes. They find themselves in danger when one of the superheroes they photograph turns out to be a secret villain.

Variety reports that Peter Berg will produce and possibly direct a film adaptation of "Hercules: The Thracian Wars," based on a five-part comic miniseries by Steve Moore.

The comic debuted in May and is described as a fresh take on the Hercules story.

Universal Pictures will distribute the film and will co-finance the project with Berg’s Film 44 and Radical Pictures and Spyglass.

Variety reports Michael Rymer (TV's "Battlestar Galactica") has been tapped to direct a feature film version of "Witchblade," a picture based on the fantasy comic book.

The comics tell of a gauntlet with a special jewel that gives powers to anyone who owns it. The series debuted in 1995 and spawned a TV series on TNT.

Platinum Studios, Top Cow Prods. and Arclight Films are managing the project.

File this under the "rumor" folder but the British tabloid The Sun reports that Tom Cruise is being asked to return to the "Top Gun" franchise for a "Top Gun 2."

According to the tabloid, a script outline has been written, but the sequel depends on Cruise, 46, saying yes.

An insider said: “The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor — and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot.”

Cast: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, Luke Goss, Jeffrey Tambor

The scariest scenes in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" have to do with director Guillermo del Toro’s penchant for mutated insects. Multi-legged and teethed, a hoard of these arachnids, go onto attack the league of creature superheroes and human agents. The human agents are vulnerable – clobbered and chewed on by hundreds at a time till they’re skinned alive. Yikes. Shut your eyes or get ready to feel the shivers.

Cast: Eddie Murphy, Gabrielle Union, Elizabeth Banks, Scott Caan, Ed Helms

If Eddie Murphy is decidedly fixed on making movies for the kiddie market than it’s fair enough to say that he’s done a lot worse than "Meet Dave." Harmless and even mildly clever at times, this vehicle lets Murphy indulge in the better of his physical comedian qualities. Murphy is a miniaturized alien who is the captain of a spaceship constructed in a human form. The spaceship also looks like Murphy. The expansive crew of mini-people act under Murphy’s command to control and operate his body. This lets way for Murphy’s gift of physical humor, looking odd and out of place as this dysfunctional spaceship unaccustomed to Earth customs.

It's simple and conveys the central theme of the film: YES. Above is the teaser one-sheet poster for "Yes Man" starring Jim Carrey, Bradley Cooper and Zooey Deschanel. The comedy-drama is based on the book by Danny Wallace and is inspired by Wallace's self-imposed mission of simply saying "yes" to everything that comes his way. "Yes Man" opens in theaters December 19th.

We have links for you for the trailer "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People" starring Simon Pegg, Danny Hudston, Kirsten Dunst and Megan Fox opening October 3. In this comedy based on the memoirs by Toby Young, the film tells of a smalltime, bumbling, British celebrity journalist who is hired by an upscale magazine in New York City. In spectacular fashion Sidney enters high society and burns bridges with bosses, peers and superstars.
