With Deadpool 2 finally running full steam ahead, and #Logan coming to a close, all eyes are now on #Fox for who will be taking on the Merc with the Mouth in 2018. We already know that Nathan Summers will be coming back to the future, and with such a loyal fanbase for the character of #Cable, not everybody will be totally satisfied.

Warner Bros. Prepares To 'Attack' Titan With Live-Action Hollywood Movie
There is some "giant" news coming out of Warner Bros. studios, as the picture powerhouse is reportedly preparing to bring #manga series #AttackOnTitan to our screens for a live-action outing. Hajime Isayama's imaginative story about a world of walled cities and fighting against carnivorous giants is one of the medium's best-loved incarnations, and alongside Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell is one of Japan's best-known exports. As well as the continuing manga series, an anime version, and several video games, there have previously been two Japanese feature-films of the story, but this would be the first time that a studio this side of the pond has tackled the source material — cue whitewashing controversy!

Sony Triggers The End Of The World By Bringing To Life The Red Queen From 'Resident Evil'
Reach for a change of panties because #SonyPictures may have just triggered the end of the world. In anticipation of the upcoming #ResidentEvil: The Final Chapter, the studio has created an AI of their homicidal computer the Red Queen. Ever since she said "you're all going to die down here," I knew I never liked that punk-face bitch. Why on Earth anyone would bring to life a bloodthirsty supercomputer is beyond me, but it screams Orwellian disaster waiting to happen. Creepy kids are enough in films, let alone when they are AIs that you then bring to life. It's a big loada "nope" from me!

Take Your Pix-ar: Disney Video Confirms Our Dreams That All Pixar Films Are Connected
Myth busted! We already know that Quentin Tarantino has his shared Tarantinoverse, but now there is an altogether more "family-friendly" way to connect your favorite films. It is a rumor that has circulated since Woody stepped out of the toybox, but now #Disney has confirmed that those #Pixar Easter Eggs that we all look out for are more than just subtle nods to the studio's eclectic history. Posted to the #ToyStory Facebook, a 2.5 minute video links every Pixar film into a shared universe. If you thought it would be impossible to link Remy the Rat to Dug the Dog, you'd be wrong!

Man Of Steal: How Jon Peters Got Paid $80 Million To Do Nothing With Superman!
While we have all heard of people being bought out of contracts, there is someone in Hollywood who really takes the biscuit. The self-proclaimed "Trump" of cinema, 71-year-old Jon Peters sits pretty in his Hollywood condo, rolling round in piles of money thanks to his (lack of) involvement in the #Superman franchise.

What A Load Of Bullocks: James Corden Joins All-Female 'Ocean's Eight'
While it may be well over a year away, the hype surrounding the Sandra Bullock-centric #OceansEight continues, while its ever-growing cast list just added bubbly Brit #JamesCorden to its ranks. After establishing humble roots on the BBC's rom-com Gavin and Stacey, Corden headed stateside to monopolize The Late Late Show, and his now infamous Carpool Karaoke, before branching out into Hollywood.

This Is A Man's World: Female Directors Are On The Decline In Hollywood
Man oh man, 2016 not only tore through the back catalogue of celebrity faces, but it was also a disappointing year to be a female director. The latest study shows that the fairer sex were behind just 7% of the year's Top 250 films, a figure that was depressingly down 2% in 2015.
