Stuff I found interesting:
Deadline has the details on anti-Muslin toad, Congressman Peter King's plan to launch an investigation into Kathryn Bigelow's Bin Laden Film.

Remember Hong Kong Phooey, the 1970s Hanna-Barbera animated series about a mild-mannered janitor-dog who is really masked crime fighter, Hong Kong Phooey? There has been talk about a movie version going back to the early 1990s (that I remember). I think the success of The Smurfs film means we'll be seeing more live-action/animation films made of old Saturdamy morning series.
Well, Eddie Murphy will be the voice of Penry the mild-mannered dog in Alcon Entertainment's live-action/animated Hong Kong Phooey. For those who don't know, the late great Scatman Crothers was the voice of Penry. Entertainment Weekly has some details.

Variety reports that Disney is filling out its Summer 2014 schedule with three pictures: There will be a Marvel Studios movie May 16. Two weeks later, a Pixar film arrives on May 30. The second Marvel picture arrives on June 27. The films are unnamed, but Variety reports that Marvel has a number of projects in development, including a Captain America sequel and an Avengers spinoff.

Deadline has an exclusive: After finishing Prometheus, a kind of prequel to his 1979 classic, Alien, director Ridley Scott will return to another of his sci-fi classics. Deadline is reporting that Scott has signed on to direct and produce a new installment of Blade Runner, with Alcon Entertainment, producing with Alcon partners Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove. Alcon apparently gained control of the Blade Runner franchise earlier this year. There are conflicting reports about whether Harrison Ford, the star of the original Blade Runner will return, with some stating that he won't.

Huffington Post reports that Will Smith is working on a double comeback. I don't think Smith needs to come back from anything, but let's humor them for the sake of this story. Smith is working on his first album since 2005. He hasn't been in a film since 2008's Seven Pounds, but he is working on "Men in Black 3." Also, Shawn Levy is trying to get Smith for a remake of the 1966 science fiction film, Fantastic Voyage.
