You fucking heathens.

While I was out hosting Easter egg hunts for the homeless and retarded, you all flocked to the movies to catch the Legendary Pictures/Warner Bros. remake of Clash of the Titans. The film earned  $61.4 million at the box office, an Easter weekend record.

Not surprisingly, talk about a Clash of the Titans trilogy has begun.

Director Louis Leterrier tells MTV:

I’m not saying I know what exactly will happen to Perseus in the next two movies, but I know the direction and it’s pretty exciting.

It’s ancient superheroes. You’ve got so many creatures, so many heroes, so many gods. You have Daedalus, Icarus, Percivel. Amazing stuff. You’ve got several worlds. I could spend the rest of my life directing Greek mythology movies and I would still not finish everything.

Screenwriters Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi are also eager to keep their noses buried in cocaine and hooker ass. The duo have already begun brainstorming on where to take the franchise to next.

Hay says:

There are so many small stories to mine that don’t make movies on their own, but you can weave them together and create a comprehensive world. We all hope we get to do it. It would be thrilling.

UPDATE: Leterrier and his screenwriters are out. Battle: Los Angeles director Jonathan Liebesman and writers Dan Mazeau and David Leslie Johnson are now on board Clash of the Titans 2.

Millennium Films is reportedly courting Transformers star Megan Fox to headline their much-delayed Red Sonja reboot.

Producer Robert Rodriguez, director Douglas Aarniokoski, and actress Rose McGowan, who was set to play the red-haired, bikini-clad heroine when the project was first announced in 2008, are no longer attached. McGowan, however, will have a role as an evil witch in Millennium’s upcoming Conan the Barbarian remake.

Fox’s camp has yet to comment on the Red Sonja role. The 23-year-old stunner most recently turned down an offer to play video game heroine Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot.

Up next for Fox is the Warner Bros. sci-fi-western Jonah Hex and director Mitch Glazer’s supernatural drama Passion Play.

Australian actress Jessica Marais is set to make her U.S. feature film debut in director John V. Soto’s voodoo thriller Needle. The 25-year-old stunner plays a college coed trying to survive an ancient curse.

The film’s synopsis reads:

A college student inherits an 18th Century machine with deadly supernatural powers. When the machine goes missing and his friends start dying, the student must team with his estranged brother to find the thief and stop the killings.

Fantasy fans may recognize Marais as the sexy, red-leather-clad Mistress Denna from ABC Studios’ “Legend of the Seeker,” currently on its second season.

Needle has yet to lock down a distribution deal.

Shia Labeouf admits to FHM that the second installment in the Transformers franchise sucked donkey balls. The 23-year-old actor blames the writer’s strike (yea, what’s part one’s excuse) for the convoluted story, but promises moviegoers that the upcoming Transformers 3 film will be on the money … so to speak.

He says:

There are a lot of people that liked the second one, but I hated it. I just didn’t enjoy it. I thought we missed the mark. I got confused, I couldn’t see what the fuck was going on, you know with certain robots… I couldn’t decipher what was happening. There were storyline paths that I just wouldn’t have gone down.

We were making our second movie in the middle of the writers’ strike. We had no script. We had to work with nothing. We literally had like 40 pages. And everything was sort of made on the fly. But I think this time we will be more concise, and in a definite direction where we want to take it.

I know that director Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are dedicated to making the best movie we possibly can, and we’re not going to miss next time.

Hmm. Isn’t that pretty much what Megan Fox got crucified for saying a long time ago?

The Iron Man 2 marketing push is in full effect. Fans have been bombarded with trailers, photos, and posters. But, now, Marvel Pictures/Paramount have released a promo clip made especially for those of us who watch movies with our hands down our pants.

Sure, many will say the clip depicts the public spectacle Tony Stark has become after announcing that he is Iron Man and indulging in the notoriety and fame. But, personally, I think it’s a commentary on how hot women look when they dress up like superheroes.

Enjoy (via Apple):

Iron Man 2 is directed by Jon Favreau and stars Robert Downy Jr., Scarlett Johansson,  Mickey Rourke, Samuel Jackson, Don Cheadle, and Gwyneth Paltrow. The film flies into theaters on May 7.

Resident Evil: Afterlife director Paul W.S. Anderson and stars Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter were on hand yesterday at the Wondercon convention in San Francisco to premiere the first official trailer for the latest sequel in the hugely successful Resident Evil series.

Check it out (courtesy of MySpace):

Resident Evil: Afterlife was shot with the same “3-D  fusion camera system” used by James Cameron on Avatar.

Said Anderson:

We spent more money than ever before on the film. They allowed me to go shoot in Tokyo, in Los Angeles, we shot in Canada, we even shot in the snow and ice in Alaska.

Almost a year ago today, James Cameron was kind enough to screen a large chunk of Avatar for us. It was still a work in progress, but… the camera system that Cameron built to shoot that movie was absolutely remarkable.

It was providing 3-D imagery that was so much more sophisticated and was of a higher quality than anything I had ever seen before in the world of 3-D. That was when I decided our movie had to be in 3-D and we had to use that camera system to shoot it.

Ali Larter, who returns to the franchise as Claire Redfield, sang Milla’s praises.

She said:

I was so excited to come back. Milla brings so much style and so much class to it, and she kicks ass like no other… Girls aren’t always cool. And I come there and we just have a lot of fun together. We’re laughing and we love figuring out our stunts and really getting dirty in there.

Jovovich has played the role of Alice in the Resident Evil series since 2002.

She enthused:

It’s Resident Evil, man. You get a chance to do a really great story and have fun. It’s like going to Disneyland or going to Magic Mountain. It’s fun to make a movie where you’re flying and you’re kicking butt and you’re training and you’re doing so much stuff that you would never do.

Resident Evil: Afterlife arrives in 2-D and 3-D in theaters on Sept. 10. To date, the franchise, based on the bestselling Capcom video game, has grossed over $378 million worldwide.

Easter weekend is upon us and that means big brunches, lunches, and dinners with the family … unless, of course, you’re an unloved heathen destined to burn in a lake of fire. With these wonderful meals, however, comes weight gain. But, don’t worry. You can shed those extra pounds by utilizing your gaming console.

It’s been medically proven that playing highly involved action games like Dead Space, Medal of Honor, and any racing game will cause your body to flex its muscles, most notably the sphincter. This will keep your ass tone.

Just take a look at this demonstration:

Watching this demonstration over and over again can also help build up your right bicep. So, eat up and enjoy the weekend.

Warner Bros. has released the first official trailer for director Vincenzo Natali’s (Cube) long-delayed sci-fi morality tale Splice, starring Adrien Brody (Predators) and Sarah Polley (Dawn of the Dead) as ethically-compromised geneticists who successfully splice human and animal DNA to create a hybrid female named Dren.

Take a look:

I don’t know a lot about science, but I think things would have gone better for everyone in this movie if Brody and Polley’s characters had simply followed the John Hughes formula of Barbie doll + game of Life + bra on head = Kelly LeBrock. Just saying.

Splice arrives in theaters on June 4. To see images and read an interview with director Vincenzo Natali, click here.

Psst. Have you heard?

“Gossip Girl” Jessica Szohr is starring as a bikini-clad coed in director Alexandre Aja’s upcoming Piranha 3-D remake. The 25-year-old actress also works a sexy two-piece in the new “Rock Your Shine” marketing campaign for Ocean Pacific.

Personally, I was never a fan of OP. I am, however, down with O.P.P. Yeah, you know me.

These are shots of Bradley Cooper and Abbie Cornish in New York filming scenes that involve lots of running for director Neil Burger’s upcoming thriller Limitless.

Based on the book by Alan Glynn, Limitless is the story of a struggling copy-writer (Cooper) who finds financial success after stealing an experimental pharmaceutical drug called MDT-48 that makes people smarter, but slows down their perception of time.

Cornish plays Cooper’s wife in the film. Robert De Niro costars as the heavy out to get Cooper’s character. Check out this gallery:
