Another trailer you might be interested in, is The New Aliens Vs Predator Number, what has more footage of Predator tribes and Aliens and folks who seem to be fairly awful at the acting. Paul W.S Anderson is hardly the dream choice to be directing this long-gestating epic, but we'll reserve judgment is what The Duke would suggest.

Sure, he fucked the hell out of Resident Evil, but he did at least give us a wholly unnecessarily touch of beaver-flashing, so that maybe counts for something. I don't know.

But if you were thinking that this climate of resurrecting 80's monster types for to do more, even more hi-tech killing on the cinema means that Gremlins will be getting a sequel, you'd have to rethink your beliefs on that particular subject.

Talking to Empire, Joe Dante says that, no, there won't be a Gremlins 3.

"I somehow doubt it." He says. "The technology that drove the first two pictures is so dated now that any new Gremlins movie would have to be CGI, but I think the prosaicness of the puppetry and all that stuff we had in the first two movies really defined those pictures. Anybody who did a new Gremlins movie would have to make it as different from those two pictures as they possibly could."

Also, Empire reports that Kevin Smith won't be directing The Green Hornet after all.

Kevin; "I would like to write it but I don't know about directing, because a) I'm too lazy to direct an action movie but b) I never got into this business to make a movie like that. I got into this business to make movies like Clerks and that was the first movie I made. You look at El Mariachi, you can see what Robert wanted to do from the get-go. I had no interest in shit like that. I like movies where people sit around and talk. I never got into this business to blow shit up or make people run. I sent Harvey [Weinstein] an email saying that I think I jumped into this too soon, and I will happily write it but I can't guarantee that I will end up directing this movie. He was like, "I totally get it. Just write it and see how you feel when you write it". So that's where I'm at right now. I don't know if I have an action movie in me."

Anyone who read Smith's draft for Superman Lives will no doubt be supportive of his decision.

The Duke loves you, Kevin Smith, but that screenplay was pretty awful is the general gist of it all.
