Guy Ritchie leaving Lobo for Sherlock Holmes 2

"Thisssss sucks!" As my favorite, Chris Farley so eloquently put it in Tommy Boy. It looks like the comic book adaptation, Lobo, took a hit today. Guy Ritchie was slated to direct the film, but has opted out in order to start on the sequel to Sherlock Holmes. 'Sherlock' did so well at the theaters, and continues to, that the studio, producers and Ritchie himself are eager to get started on the sequel.

A few weeks ago we mentioned that Robert Downey Jr. was leaving another comic book adaptation, Cowboys & Aliens, in order to get started on 'Sherlock' 2. So the news of Ritchie following suite, is not a HUGE surprise. Does it make me sad? Yes. Will I still see Lobo with another director? Yes. The comic book is great and has so much potential on the big screen. We'll have to wait and see who the studio elects to direct the picture. But we'll let you know when it happens.

Mortal Kombat 3 really is going to be made

Remember when we told you about Mortal Kombat 3 being made? Well, even we thought it was just a rumor that would fizzle out, but it hasn't. The internet is a buzz with news that it will start production sooner than later. I was a fan of the first two films and the video games which inspired them. I'm not saying a sequel is the best idea in the world, but it actually makes sense.

Of all the fighting games, one could argue that the characters in Mortal Kombat are very unique; that they would make for better characters in movies. One could also argue that almost all fighting games translated into film have been debacles. Again, I'm open to a third film and would probably wait to rent it, but we'll see. So either way, a part three is coming, who will you root for?

Quickie: Jonah Hill's Cyrus trailer, from Sundance, great!

Hahahaha, this looks great. Jonah Hill official selection into Sundance, called Cyrus. John C. Reilly finally finds a women he can talk to you, maybe even fall in love with, that woman is Marisa Tomei. Only thing she HASN'T told Reilly is that she has an adult son named Cyrus, played by Jonah Hill. Comedy ensues when Reilly and Hill go at it. Yes, it is reminiscent of Step Brothers, but has an interesting enough story to make it different. Watch it for yourself and tell us what you think!

Quickie: Someone I've never heard of cast as Conan the Barbarian

Jason Momoa? Anyone ever heard of him? Me either. I guess he was in one of the "Stargate" tv series. Anyway, he's been cast to play Conan, which is set to start filming in March! Wow. That gives this guy 10 weeks to get buff like our California Governor, Aaanold was.

I don't really care about this news, because at one time the project was to be directed by Brett "The Worst Director in the world, behind Bay" Ratner. I said it! Yeah I said it!
