DreamWorks Animation has debuted the first poster for Rise of the Guardians, an adaptation of the recently released books by William Joyce. The film will be directed by Peter Ramsey (Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space) and co-directed by Joyce and has already been set for a November 21, 2012 release with voices provided by Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher and Jude Law.
David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole) penned the screenplay and I’m sure one of the film’s draws will be the fact Guillermo del Toro is serving as one of the executive producers. The story follows a group of heroes — Alec Baldwin as North (Santa Claus), Hugh Jackman as Bunnymund (Easter Bunny) and Isla Fisher as Tooth (Tooth Fairy) — each with extraordinary abilities. When an evil spirit known as Pitch (Jude Law) lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children all over the world.
Considering the far off release date I’m not sure if we’ll see a trailer soon, but this poster would seem to suggest a little something more may be on the horizon. [Source]
Along with the poster below, you can also get a look at the character design for Jack Frost (who will be voiced by Star Trek’s Chris Pine) in my gallery right here.

Benicio Del Toro has pulled out of negotiations to appear in ‘Star Trek 2′.
The ‘Wolfman’ actor was in talks to play the lead bad guy in the forthcoming J.J. Abrams-directed sequel – starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana – but “monetary issues” have ended chances of him starring.
Although no details of who the character is have so far been leaked, NYPost.com’s Vulture blog claims he was set to play Khan Noonien-Singh in the much-hyped project.
The character – a genetically engineered super-human – originally appeared in the original ‘Star Trek’ TV series and ‘Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan’, and was played by Ricardo Montalban.
No actors have been named as possible successors to Benicio, but with the film due to begin shooting in January a replacement will have to be found shortly.
The sequel is set to be shot in 3-D by director J.J., while Alice Eve – best known for the role of the Irish nanny in ‘Sex and the City 2′ – is signed up to star.

Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, and Tom Hardy were back to filming some action packed scenes for their new film This Means War on a closed down freeway interchange in Los Angeles.
The actors could be seen shooting scenes involving a gun fight and a car chase. Reese, sporting a short leather jacket, also shot a few car scenes with Chelsea Handler.

Peter Weller is a pretty standup guy, so I think anything good that comes his way is well deserved. The last thing I saw him in was as Stan Liddy on Dexter. He was great on the show and I’ve been hoping to see him in a project equally as good.
Luckily, J.J. Abrams has picked up the actor for STAR TREK 2. There are no details on what the role will be. All we have so far is that he will definitely be in the film. We do know that Benicio Del Toro will not be playing Khan. Abrams himself has spoken out against the rumor saying, “Not true.” Apparently he was quite forward with that statement and seemed pretty firm on the matter. So for now, no Khan.
Alice Eve (SHE’S OUT OF MY LEAGUE) recently joined the cast as well in another unidentified role. Paramount is due to release the sequel on May 17, 2013. [Source]
