Details have been vague in the past about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s role in Terminator Salvation. We knew he had something to do with the film, but it was unclear if he would actually appear in the film.  With his busy schedule as Governor of California, it did not look likely that he would even have the time. Well apparently, he will in fact be in Terminator Salvation – but without any camera filming new scenes with him.

Variety is reporting that his likeness will be used from the first Terminator film and re-created digitally for the film:

“9” is a new CG animated film coming out on 9/9/09 (funny, huh?) in limited release. It’s based on Shane Acker‘s short film of the same name. It was actually nominated for Best Short Film at the Academy Awards. The MTV Movies blog description of the movie is as follows:

“‘9’ follows nine ragdolls on a quest to save humanity in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.”

Hmmm…

MichaelBay.com has posted new footage from ShoWest, a motion picture industry convention. This footage is out of this world. The main scene featured is a scene with Sam and Bumblebee discussing how he has to go away for college and can’t take Bumblebee with him. And, of course, with this being a Michael Bay film it has to show off Megan Fox (you’ll see what I mean when you watch the footage). The rest is just super cool footage of the Transformers in action. Great stuff! Check out the video by clicking “Read more” below.

Previously, it was reported that Guillermo Del Toro and Peter Jackson were making two Hobbit films (debuting in 2011 and 2012), the first one focusing on the actual book and the other bridging the 60-year gap between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring.

Now, in an interview with Empire Magazine, Jackson and Del Toro have revealed that their plan is now to officially span The Hobbit over the two films, taking more time to flesh out The Hobbit. They had this to say:

“We’ve decided to have The Hobbit span the two movies, including the White Council and the comings and goings of Gandalf to Dol Guldur,” says Del Toro.

It’s here. The fourth (and likely final) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer has arrived! This movie just looks better and better with each new trailer. This almost looks as epic as The Lord of the Rings trilogy in some spots. I am now looking forward to this movie more than I was before. July cannot come soon enough!

ComingSoon.Net is reporting that Screenwriter/actor Kevin Grevioux and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans director Patrick Tatopoulos will be bringing the comic-books series I, Frankenstein to the big screen. It’ll be produced by  Robert Sanchez and Chris Patton for Death Ray Films and the project’s associate producer and co-developer will be ShockTillYouDrop‘s managing editor Ryan Turek.

I’ve never heard of this comic-book series (apparently it’s not even out yet as a comic), but the description has it sounding like sort of a dark film-noir with the Frankenstein Monster functioning to the point where he is a private investigator in a city called “Darkhaven,” and this place includes other famous “monsters” like the Invisible Man, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde and Dracula (as a crime kingpin!)

Bay also added a little awesome comment about how movie studio execs seem to be obsessed with running times for films:
