It's really hard for me to think of any way in which the first Iron Man movie could have been any cooler, which means that the second one is going to have to raise the bar a little. Luckily, director Jon Favreau is planning on strapping the bar to a jetpack. According to an interview with Collider, not only is Favreau hoping to emulate Dark Knight and shoot parts of Iron Man 2 in IMAX, but he's giving serious consideration to shooting some of it in 3D, as well. So let me get this straight: Iron Man will be really big and three-dimensional? Well, slap my ass and call me the Living Laser.

For those out there that have always wanted to see Michael Douglas in rhinestones, fur and pink (all at the same time), your dreams will come true in the not-too-distant future. Hey... Where'd everybody go? I was just trying to let them know that Michael Douglas has signed on to star in the upcoming Steven Soderbergh biopic about Liberace. It's true--Liberace himself had a lower hairline than Mr. Douglas currently does, but like I tell my boyfriend, oh my god, please wipe the crumbs off the counter. Also: It takes a real man to wear pink. Douglas will comb his hair forward, don the pink tuxedo and maybe even keep the counters clean as Mr. Showbiz for his Traffic director.

In what will probably turn out to be another in a series of rumors about Terminator: Salvation, there's a possibility that Arnold Schwarzenegger might just actually appear in the film after all. Latino Review posted a picture of the Governator visiting the Salvation set and meeting with Christian Bale. Accompanying the picture they were sent was a not-that-well-written letter from a source indicating that Schwarzenegger was on the set to provide voiceover for the visual effects team to reference during post-production. And what good is a voice without the body of the original Terminator? The source also promises that the fully rendered digital face of Schwarzenegger will be replacing that of recently cast Roland Kickinger, who plays the part of the young Arnold. The same effect was done in the Star Wars prequels to put the face of Christopher Lee on his Jedi-fighting stunt double.

A reminder to all Americans: Read the fine print. A judge in New York has just thrown out several more lawsuits against 20th Century Fox by some of the slow-on-the-uptake citizens who we all laughed at in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. The judge in the case ruled that the three plaintiffs--the driver's ed teacher who gets behind the wheel with Borat, and the two etiquette coaches with whom he sat down to dinner -- all consented to appearing in a "documentary-style movie" by accepting money for their efforts and signing releases that freed the filmmakers from liability.

The casting rumors are flying faster than the cars in front of 221b Baker Street about just who is going to be cast opposite Robert Downey Jr. in Guy Ritchie's upcoming Sherlock Holmes reinvention project. A couple of weeks ago Guy Ritchie denied rumors that Russell Crowe had been cast to play sidekick Dr. Watson, although it was quickly followed up with not-yet-denied rumors that Crowe would play Holmes' nemesis Moriarty. Now the casting rumor roulette wheel has spun again for the part of Dr. Watson and landed, rather curiously, on Colin Farrell.

MTV has managed to get its Lasso of Truth around Leonard Goldberg and Joel Silver, who are producing the first-ever Wonder Woman film. The project, which for a time had been in the hands of Buffy The Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon (Whedon claims he quit the project because of a difference between he and Silver/Goldberg), is rolling along, according the producers, who are just "waiting for the script to come in." After the Whedon debacle (Whedon was set to both write and direct), the producers are taking the "old school" route, as they call it, and waiting for a script they commissioned to come in before taking that script to interested directors.

Michael Bay's Transformers sequel, titled Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, just got devastatingly awesomer. Yes, we realize this is the sequel to the movie where a robot peed on John Turturro, but bear with us. Apparently, when we reported on the robots who would appear in the film, the one vaguely identified as "Constructicon Earth Mover" was exactly that -- a big, green dump truck. (And we mean big -- like, end of Jackie Chan's Mr. Nice Guy big.) And while they could have easily called any construction-vehicle-based Decepticon a Constructicon, it seems as if they are actually going to do what they promised, and introduce multiple Constructicons, who will merge together to form... Devastator! [Men and geeky women everywhere cheer. All other women slowly lose interest.]

French comedies are already fairly quirky and precious. So when you pass one through a Wes Anderson-shaped filter, what's the end result? Quirky, precious awesome. Anderson will be writing an adaptation of the French comedy Mon Meilleur Ami ("My Best Friend") for Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment, according to Variety. He's also considering directing it, which would make it the first remake he's ever done. And if he doesn't take the reigns as director, it stands to be the first script he's written that he didn't direct. Either way, quelle surprise!

So apparently, Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, which has inspired countless knockoff films, was actually based on a short story from 1942. And while most of those knockoffs flew under the radar, apparently 2007's Disturbia, with Shia LaBeouf in an ankle bracelet standing in for Jimmy Stewart in a wheelchair, has not, and the company that represents the deceased author's estate has filed a lawsuit against Dreamworks, according to Reuters. Apparently, they were waiting for Disturbia to make it to Blu-ray? And for Blu-ray to be declared the next generation of media player? And for all of the Disturbia HD-DVDs to go on closeout?

If you weren't one of the people who was totally befuddled by The Fountain, then you're probably waiting with bated breath for director Darren Aronofsky's next picture. Pi and Requiem for a Dream established Aronofsky as a major talent, and his next picture -- with its combination of mainstream subject matter, amazingly talented actors and Marisa Tomei stripping -- is sure to take the country by storm. That's probably why Fox Searchlight outbid all comers at the Toronto International Film Festival for the rights to distribute The Wrestler, which only last week won the Golden Lion in Venice. (Man, I wish I had a gold lion.)
