Armageddon Superbowl Trailer - Here is a link that supposedly contains the new Armageddon trailer, I'm not sure if it's real or not, but I'll download it myself and let you know ASAP:
Payback - The Official Site just released the trailer for this upcoming Mel Gibson flick, haven't seen it myself, but I hear it's quite good.
Desert Blue - Variety reports that Kate Hudson, the daughter of Goldie Hawn, has landed a lead in "Desert Blue," the next film by "Hurricane" director Morgan J. Freeman. She'll co-star alongside Brendan Sexton, Christina Ricci, Casey Affleck and Sara Gilbert. The film, produced by Michael Burns and Andrea Sperling, begins shooting Monday.
Box Office - "Titanic'' was the most popular movie in North America for the sixth consecutive weekend, as ticket sales propelled it past "Jaws'' to become the 10th biggest film in history.

Images - Found a few pictures from the upcoming movies: "The Mask Of Zorro", "Apt Pupil", "Zero Effect" and finally a picture from, uhh, "3 Ninjas: High Noon At Mega Mountain." Enjoy!
Armageddon SuperBowl Trailer - Yep, the link was in fact legit. It should download okay, even though it jammed twice when I tried yesterday. I sent it to a much better server last nigh, but they haven't put it up yet. So use the link below until it comes up on the better server:
Snow Falling On Cedars - James Cromwell, nominated for an Oscar for his supporting role in "Babe,'' has joined the cast of "Snow Falling on Cedars,'' which is set to start shooting Feb. 8 in Vancouver. Variety says Scott Hicks of "Shine'' is directing the picture, based on the bestselling novel by David Guterson. The book is about a racially charged murder trial set in the Pacific Northwest during the post-World War II era. Cromwell will play a judge. Ethan Hawke and Max von Sydow also star in the Universal project.
WW3.com? - Invaders from outer space proved boffo for 20th Century Fox in "Independence Day," and now the studio hopes to recreate that success with "WW3.com," a project based on a new threat to the world's survival: cyberspace. Wanting to fast-track the project about World War III, Tom Rothman's Fox film division has acquired the rights to John Carlin's May, 1997 Wired magazine article, "A Farewell to Arms," as source material for a tentpole event pic about information warfare.
Titanic - James Cameron looks like he's going to make big money out of Titanic. He relinquished his cut of the profits in an attempt to convince studio chiefs that he knew what he was doing even when he spent almost double the movie's budget. But now, after the movie's sales have confounded expectations and reached $400 million, it seems the studio have agreed to return to the original agreement and give him lots of money!
