Captain America To Be Directed By… Oh. Really? That Guy?
Part of what has made Marvel's forays into feature films so exciting is the quality of director it has managed to secure for each movie. Whether it's an indie darling like Jon Favreau directing Iron Man, a theatrical powerhouse like Kenneth Branagh helming Thor or a thrilling young up-and-comer like Louis Leterrier taking on The Incredible Hulk, Marvel has always managed to impress. So, with that in mind, who has Marvel signed on to direct Captain America, one of the most iconic characters in its stable? Joe Johnston. Come on, you know, Joe Johnston. The man who directed Jurassic Park III. And, um, The Rocketeer. Oh, you know him. He wrote one episode of the Star Wars Droids cartoon spin-off in 1895. Joe Johnston, you know. Old Joey Jo-Jo Johnston. This Captain America film is going to freaking rule.

Captain America Starred In The Incredible Hulk. No, Really
The Incredible Hulk was jam-packed with cameos - Tony Stark was there, as were the ghosts of all your dead relatives asking why you were watching such a bad film. Or maybe that was just us. Anyway, once cameo in The Incredible Hulk that you might have missed was Captain America. Seriously. Captain America ...

Tom Cruise Causes Sleeper Puns to Take Over the Internet. We’re Not Happy.
Tom Cruise is continuing his run of trying to make people think he's less of a massive mental, religious freak. First he stopped jumping around like a particularly stupid chimp, he stopped going on about Scientology in public - though he did see some of his private video collection released, much to the delight/terror (delete as appropriate) of the general public - and he's seeing some rave reviews flying about for his small role in Tropic Thunder. So what next? Well, it's obvious isn't it? Star in a superhero film, and get someone like Sam Raimi on board to produce. Which is, apparently, what's being pushed for by Tom Cruise and Warner Bros, who own the rights to Sleeper - a short running comic book series from a few years back. Well, Raimi's already on board, but you get the point. And you can't fault the man's logic.
