Watch the initial teaser trailer:
I would love to see a 4th Bourne movie and since The Bourne Ultimatum there has been a few tantalizing rumors that suggested it would be happening sooner rather than later. Here is some brief information from Matt Damon regarding the next installment. From Collider.com:
While promoting his History Channel special “The People Speak”, Matt Damon was asked about the 4th installment of the Bourne franchise and it’s not good news for fans of Damon’s alter ego. He said, “none us have kind of seen a script yet and Paul’s still cutting a movie that we worked on.”
This is disheartening news as back in October of 2008, Universal reported George Nolfi had been hired to write a script for the 4th film. But with Damon saying none of them had seen a script, one can surmise that George hasn’t finished writing it yet or no one was happy with the draft. Either way, we’re a long way from a 4th installment. As a big fan of the franchise, I’m hoping this one comes together.
This sequel to the 1980’s original seems like a pretty slick upgrade in the effects department… Add Daft Punk as soundtrack contributors and you’ve got something very interesting! Check out the teaser:
October is around the corner which can only mean one thing… another Saw movie!
Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw’s legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw’s grand scheme is finally understood. Check out the teaser:

Transformers - The Transformer ‘Universe’
Lets all keep our fingers crossed that this movie works out and doesn’t ruin a classic franchise!! Read more from /Film.com:
Speaking to the Guardian Guide, a pull out supplement that comes with every Saturday’s issue of The Guardian newspaper here in the UK, Dan Aykroyd has revealed even more details of the upcoming third Ghostbusters film.
Here’s the big quote from the man himself, detailing some of the new ideas we can look forward to:
There’ll be a whole new generation that has to be trained and a leader that you’ll all love when you meet her. There’ll be lots of cadets, boys and girls who’ll be learning how to use the neuron splitter and the inter-planet interceptor - new tools to enable them to slip from dimension to dimension.
[…]
As for the gadget, to me this inter-planet interceptor brings back memories of Aykroyd’s own attempt, a few years back, to mount a third Ghostbusters film. Here’s Aykroyd’s own explanation of that old idea, as reported by Peter in February 2007:
I wrote a script called Hell Bent, Ghostbusters go to hell basically. The premise is that it’s Manhellton. There’s Manhattan and ManHELLton. And if you can build an inter-dimensional phase system so that you can go from one dimension to another. We’ve succeeded doing that and we go to the hell side.
Back to the new approach, and Aykroyd also mentions that Bill Murray’s condition for returning was that Ernie Hudson’s previously underwritten role as Winston Zeddemore would be beefed up to put him on equal footing with the others. A class move, Mr. Murray.
[…]
Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky have been writing the new film - and judging from his comments, sharing every draft with Aykroyd. Production is apparently possible for the end of the year, so a Summer 2011 launch isn’t too unlikely.
Here it is in all its glory, the WatchMojo.com Guide to The Terminator Movie Franchise:
