Any remaining confusion about where "The Wolverine" would fall in the "X-Men" saga's chronology—is it a straight sequel to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine?" Is it a standalone film?—has seemingly been cleared up by its latest trailer, posted below. In it, Wolverine/Logan is haunted by dreams (or are they?) of the ostensibly late Jean Grey, as played by Famke Jannsen. The last time we saw Jean Grey, if you'll remember, was as she was being murdered/mercy killed by ol' Mega Sideburns at the end of the otherwise execrable "X-Men: The Last Stand." 

Rating: 4.5/5 stars

According to Deadline, Liam Hemsworth has agreed to star in "Aurora Rising," a sort of modern-day "Top Gun" in which a surfer dude becomes a crack fighter pilot. Hemsworth would play said surfer-turned-pilot,​ who, after apparently "acing" a potentially hairy first combat mission, is granted the opportunity to test the next generation of fighter aircraft. Naturally, this occurs simultaneously as an international incident heightens tensions in the region.

Only time will tell if this proves more "Top Gun" or more "Hot Shots!" Although it does make us wonder what happened to that planned "Top Gun" sequel that we keep hearing rumors about. Will "Aurora Rising" beat it to the punch? Does "testing the next generation of fighter aircraft" mean Hemsworth will actually be piloting a drone from his parents' basement? If so, could this ultimately prove more "War Games" than anything else? We'll bring you the relevant details when available, but in the meantime, ain't it fun to speculate?
 

Can we call this "1656 Hours?" According to Deadline, Antonio Banderas has agreed to join "The 33," a dramatization of the events surrounding the infamous mine collapse that trapped 33 Chilean workers underground for 69 days in 2010. Like the Oscar-nominated "127 Hours," "The 33" seeks to put famous faces to its real-life protagonists, and accurately portray their triumph over adversity—and, uh, very large rocks.

Martin Sheen and Rodrigo Santoro have already signed onto the film, giving the film an eminently respectable cast if not one that'll draw in all those lucrative pre-teens with their free-wheeling allowance money. Banderas will reportedly play Mario Sepulveda, who earned the nickname "Super Mario" during the ordeal. Given that there are approximately, oh, thirty odd other roles yet to be cast, it seems safe to assume many more such announcements moving forward. We wonder what other talents the project will attract... Any ideas, Hitlisters? As always, let us know in the comments. More details as they become available...

Indicating that, yes, this is apparently still not a joke, The Hollywood Reporter is, er, reporting that Rovio Entertainment has hired "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill" writer Jon Vitti to pen their upcoming "Angry Birds" adaptation. The ostensibly 3D animated film—which will somehow dramatize the act of catapulting mute avian kamikaze wrecking balls at flimsily made if elaborate structures populated by evil green pigs—is expected out July 1, 2016, or far enough into the future that "Angry Birds" might still not be a thing then, and all those involved, including studio Sony, might come to their senses and, say, not do it. After all, while flicking a bunch of mute avian kamikaze wrecking balls at flimsily made if elaborate structures populated by evil green pigs might be a fun thing to do, is it really the solid basis of a movie?

What do you think, Hitlisters? Would you actually consider it fun to sit around watching this for two hours? Or are the filmmakers going to have to go to extreme lengths to add depth and, you know, story, to the whole enterprise, before making it worthwhile? And is three years enough time to figure all that out? As always, let us know in the comments, or tell us on MSN Movies Facebook or MSN Movies Twitter.
 

It's been a while since we've seen any new promotional material from the upcoming future-classic, "Anchorman 2." What the heck have Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, and Paul Rudd been up to, beyond actually making said sequel? From the looks of this latest teaser, the answer appears to be "not much," and/or "coming up with new catchphrases," which is, of course, an essential part to every sequel.

What else does this latest clip tell us? Well, it appears as though Carrell's Brick may have a more prominent role this time around, as would only be fitting for a star of his (increased) caliber. The other guy in the cowboy hat? Eh, not so much. As far as plot goes, however, this teaser is as bereft of any details as the film's last, initial teaser. It seems we'll have to wait longer to see what kind of hijinks the gang will get involved with.

Until then... What do you think, Hitlisters? Check out the teaser, posted after the break, and let us know what you think in the comments...
 

Signaling that Hollywood is in full-on "shamelessly cater to China,d the fastest growing market in the world" mode—and that Bingbing is an astonishinly common name for Chinese actresses—the producers of "Transformers 4" have reportedly added newcomer Li Bingbing to the sci-fi sequel's cast. This comes on the heels of Fan Bingbing—presumably no relation—popping up in "Iron Man 3" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past." When will the madness end?

Bing: Li Bingbing | 'Transformers 4'

Probably never. Or at least not until the Chinese government lifts its mindbogglingly complex restrictions on foreign productions entering theaters there. As is, only a certain number of foreign films are allowed to enter the Chinese market every year. Films that are produced in China—or even partly produced in China, like the aforementioned "Iron Man 3"—face no such restrictions, or at least much more lenient ones, and therefore typically enjoy much broader success in that territory. And it can be lucrative. "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" made $160+ million in China alone. The time may still come that all studio movies are produced in China, leaving Hollywood to carry on making only pretentious indie flicks, starring the aging vestiges of its past glory. Kind of like what England does now. Until then... More details as they become available.
