Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski has jumped ship and will not be working on the fourth installment of the series. He is going to direct Bioshock.
How will this affect the fourth Pirates movie? I guess we won’t know until its released, but it can’t be a good thing when the director for the last three films walks out on you.

Will Smith is back, but what’s changed since Hancock and I Am Legend?
The answer? A lot. Smith has returned from his hiatus with a new drama film, 7 Pounds. The last movie of this drama that Smith starred in was The Pursuit of Happyness, which has been in the SquidFlicks to-be-reviewed list for some time now.
7 Pounds is from the same director of The Pursuit of Happyness, and since the first was a hit, I really think that 7 Pounds has great potential. Smith has been riding a streak of top-grossing movies for quite a while, and I don’t think the gravy train will end here.
The premise of the movie is that Ben Thomas (Smith), an IRS agent with a secret helps seven totally random strangers change their lives forever. All he asks for in return is that they never contact him or ask any questions, and that they answer when he calls for them.
Sounds like a great story to me, what do you think?

According to current buzz in the film industry, the fourth installment of the incredibly funny series, The Naked Gun, will not be screened in theaters, and will remain a Direct to DVD release only.
I find that this is a sad ending to a great comedic series featuring Leslie Nielson, star of other comedy franchises, notably the Airplane series. At least Paramount has green-lighted the project and has allowed work on a sequel to continue, even under the condition it will be published. Perhaps if fans make enough noise, a theater version *could* surface, but that’s unlikely.
The movie is a part of Paramount’s new direct-to-video initiative called Paramount Famous Prods. We’ll see how this turns out, since many of the planned projects are only tied in name and not in actors/staff.

Summary
Excerpt from the official Speed Racer movie site:
[From writer/directors Larry and Andy Wachowski, the creators of the groundbreaking “The Matrix” trilogy, and producer Joel Silver comes the live-action, high-octane family adventure “Speed Racer.”
Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized—the legendary Rex Racer—whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill.
