Tron Trailer, Captain America Casting News, a Total Eclipse and...Showgirl?

By Stacie Hougland Mar 12, 2010

Tron-tastic! Tron Legacy isn’t coming out until December, but Disney released a teaser trailer for it with Alice in Wonderland and it’s online now. All there is to say is Oh. Hell. Yes.
Total Eclipse After the internet threatened to quit and walk away under the weight of a million Twihards watching the 10 second teaser for Eclipse, the 1-1/2 minute real teaser trailer is out now.
Ready for Red Skull They’re finally getting somewhere with the elusive Captain America casting. Word is Hugo Weaving is in final talks to play the character’s U.S.-hating archenemy Red Skull. Genius casting when you think how the guy was so good behind the makeup and mask in the Lord of the Rings movies and V for Vendetta, and the only reason to watch those god-awful Matrix sequels.
Freaky Guy-day Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds will be the latest to star in one of those body-switching comedies, this one called The Change-Up, from The Hangover writers. One can only hope it lives up to such gems as 13 Going on 30 and The Hot Chick.
Let the Battle Begin Avatar director James Cameron is pitting his two epic blockbusters against one another at the box office in the next few years. First Avatar will get a re-release in 3D theaters later this summer with 40 minutes of unseen material. Then, be on the lookout for a 3D version of Titanic in 2012.
Heard Through the Apevine The two-year-old Planet of the Apes prequel project, dubiously titled Caesar: Rise of the Apes, finally has a director after writer/director Scott Frank left the project: Rupert Wyatt. Who? Well, at least it isn’t Tim Burton.
”Showgirls Is My Yentl” That’s an actual quote from the woman who played Penny Slot/Hope in the camp classic Showgirls, who has her own plans to make the follow-up Showgirl, complete with a teaser trailer she directed. Though she claims to have some of the original cast joining her, my guess is this won’t get released anywhere but her living room.
