    JONNY QUEST

    Who’s Jonny? Nothing like starting off the week with an El Debarge reference. Anyway, it’s finally confirmed that Zac Efron will play the James Bond-like kid. The strange thing is that it might not even be called Johnny Quest anymore. Bet that’ll go over about as well as when they wanted to change the name of Snakes on a Plane.

    X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE

    Get Real A new TV spot features what I think might be the fake-iest CGI stunt ever: check out out Wolverine flying in the air toward the copter. The bus jump on the freeway in Speed is more realistic.

    TRON 2

    Men in Tights The first photo of an actor in costume is pretty hilarious. I bet they’ll have to cover up a lot of moose knuckle in post.
