• Batman. Superman. And Wonder Woman?  Yup, the sequel to this year's Man of Steel is bringing in the big guns with Ben Affleck as the Dark Knight and now Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.  The Israeli actress has previously appeared in The Fast and The Furious 6.  The makers are really laying down the plans for that eventual Justice League movie. Batman vs. Superman releases on July 17, 2015.
• Speaking of The Fast and The Furious, the seventh movie in the super-hit franchise has halted production after the tragic death of one of its leads, Paul Walker.  The film was due to release on July 11, 2014.  
• Veronica Mars, the movie, is coming to theatres in America on March 13, 2013 exactly one year after its amazingly successful Kickstarter campaign that allowed the movie into existence.  The film starring Kristen Bell, Jason Dohring as Logan, Enrico Colantoni as Keith Mars and plenty of fan favourite characters reprising their roles, picks up ten years later as Veronica returns to Neptune to help out Logan as he's accused of killing his girlfriend.  Now, let's work on those international release dates, yes?
• While director Woody Allen is set to receive the Cecil B. DeMille award at the Golden Globes on January 12th, he will not be showing up to receive it as his custom with award shows. Instead, actress Diane Keaton (Annie Hall herself) will receive the honor on his behalf.
