STAR WARS LIGHTSABER GAME
Footage of a potential new Star Wars game from Microsoft's launch conference for Kinect (previously known as Natal), reports Kotaku. Looks good until you notice that the Jedi moves first.

A slightly darker and more action packed new trailer for The Sorcerer's Apprentice over at Den Of Geek . Nicholas Cage playing himself, once again?

HERE COME GREEN LANTERN 2 AND FLASH
Warners gives the go-ahead on treatments for Green Lantern 2 and The Flash, say our chums on Total Film . We just have to hope the first film is good.

RUSH TO BE IN PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

GUILLERMO DEL TORO TO DO VAN HELSING!
