Jason Bateman not yet in for 'Hancock 2'?

Earlier this month, news came out of Hollywood that Columbia hired Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara to write "Hancock 2." It was then reported Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman would return for the sequel.

As it turns out, this is not entirely true. When speaking with Coming Soon recently, Bateman at least said no one has contacted him yet about reprising his role in the follow-up to the disastrous "Hancock."

Exclusive Interview: Guillermo Arriaga, writer and director of 'The Burning Plain'

I recently had the chance to sit down and talk to Guillermo Arriaga, Oscar-nominated filmmaker who's known for writing fantastic films such as "21 Grams," "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" and "Babel." Arriaga most recently wrote and directed "The Burning Plain," and here is what the film is about:

A romantic mystery about a woman on the edge who takes an emotional journey back to the defining moment of her life. Charlize Theron plays Sylvia, a beautiful restaurant manager whose cool, professional demeanor masks the sexually charged storm within.

Will Smith, Charlize Theron back for 'Hancock 2'

Will Smith and Charlize Theron in Hancock

I still hate the idea of Columbia moving forward with "Hancock 2," but that's how Hollywood works and I may just as well stop complaining. Today comes word the leading cast will also be back for the sequel of the terribly disappointing "Hancock."

MTV recently spoke to returning director Peter Berg ("The Kingdom," "Friday Night Lights"), who kind of confirmed Will Smith and Charlize Theron will both be back to reprise their roles. "Everybody's going to come back for a sequel," he said.

No 'The Road' in October; film postponed again!

Viggo Mortensen in The Road

At least this time, it's not a major release date change. But yes, Dimension Films has decided to move John Hillcoat's upcoming drama "The Road" from Oct. 16, 2009 to Nov. 25.

Considering this is not the first time the film is postponed, I'm not so sure it will be the last. I'll believe it when I actually walk into the screening on that day. Or not.. Well, at least it will come to theaters, right?

'The Road' gets five new clips and a bad review

The Road

I've been looking forward to John Hillcoat's "The Road" for a while now, and it looks like the film based on Cormac McCarthy's novel is still on track for its Oct. 16, 2009 release. Now five new clips have debuted online, and you can see them after the jump.

"The Road" is the epic post-apocalyptic tale of a journey taken by a father (Viggo Mortensen) and his young son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) across a barren landscape that was blasted by an unnamed cataclysm that destroyed civilization and most life on earth.
