I'm way behind on the news, so here's a bit of a taste for tonight's update:

>> Orlando Bloom set pics from Kingdom of Heaven

>> Cate Blanchett for Elizabeth 2? (ETA: They want to call it The Golden Age, not literally Elizabeth 2.)

>> I hate the Polar Express trailer

>> Violet and Veruca cast for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

>> Gerard Butler for Beowulf and Grendel (Vladimir: "UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!")

>> Emma Watson reveals cuts to HP&POA. ETA: Corrected link.


In more local movie news, The Lovely Emily and I have bought our tickets to the 9:40 show Friday night, and I am seriously considering dragging along a notebook. We figure there's a better chance of kids being in bed at that point and the theater being easier to get into, because we lived to regret going to the 7 pm show of Two Towers at the Summit. The most popular theater in town. ON OPENING NIGHT.
