WARNER BROS. WANTS KARL URBAN AS BRUCE WAYNE IN THEIR NEW AND SECRET "BATMAN" TV SHOW. GERARD BUTLER TO GO ON A SF ADVENTURE IN "AFTERBURN". THE FIRST "GREEN LANTERN" TRAILER

Here's a great piece of news for all the Butlermaniacs among my readers (and I know there are thousands of you): HOLLYWOOD SPY's best British gent, Gerard Butler is negotiating to take the lead role in AFTERBURN, the sf adventure based on Red5

Comics graphic novels which are set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic Earth whose Eastern Hemisphere was destroyed by a massive solar flare. The story centers on treasure hunters aiming to extract such items as the Mona Lisa amid competition from rival hunters, mutants and pirates. Methinks, Gerry Berry is the right man for this kind of business!

One of the hottest rumors yesterday says that after the finish of THE DARK KNIGHT saga in cinemas, Warner Bros. is planning to move Batman onto the small screen in a new weekly BATMAN TV SHOW which would revolve around billionaire Bruce Wayne

and his further adventures in Gotham City as The Dark Knight. The show would also see Joker's return to Gotham. Now, the hottest news is that Warner Bros. apparently wants Karl Urban (HOLLYWOOD SPY'S most underrated actor) or a similar type of actor in the role of Bruce Wayne. The show, off course, won't happen before the THE DARK KNIGHT RISES premieres in 2012.

And it's finally here, the treat of the day - GREEN LANTERN trailer has been officially released yesterday. Tell me what you think about it. I adore the costume :)

COOL NEW POSTER FOR DANIEL CRAIG'S AND HARRISON FORD'S "COWBOYS AND ALIENS". WILL DAVID HAYE, WORLD BOXING CHAMPION, BE THE NEW AND BLACK JAMES BOND?

Check out the first poster for next summer's fantasy western COWBOYS AND ALIENS. Starring Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, Jon Favreau and Keith Carradine, the film follows a stranger (David Craig) who stumbles into a desert town called Absolution which doesn't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on

its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force.

With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents-townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors-all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.

And since we've mentioned Daniel Craig, it's interesting that he might not be in a new JAMES BOND film. Due to his busy schedule already filled with new projects, MGM is currently considering a replacement since they want to start production next year. The latest one to actively and loudly pursue the lead role is no one else but David Haye, a famous boxer and a world heavyweight champion, who wants to become the first black JAMES BOND. According to "MovieWeb" this is a similar situation with the one from this summer when Donald Glover wanted to become the first black SPIDERMAN, but he lost the role to Andrew Garfield. I'm not sure about you, but somehow I think Haye as Bond would announce the total downfall of the whole franchise.  No elegance, no acting skills, no dashing charms - he's just nowhere near 007.

LUCAS FOSTER TO PRODUCE EGYPTIAN EPIC "ARMS OF THE SUN" ON NEFERTITI AND DRAGON EPIC "TEMERAIRE" BY PETER JACKSON. NEW ROLES FOR HAYDEN PANETTIERE & CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY

One of the most successful producers Lucas Foster (famous for blockbusters such as EQUILIBRIUM, MR. AND MRS. SMITH, JUMPER), who has recently been negotiating to shoot some of his future project in Serbia's PFI studios, is also planning to shoot THE ARMS OF THE SUN, an ambitious epic based on the romantic adventure novel by Roberto Zacco, who wrote a trilogy about the ancient Egyptian pharaohs but this book is focusing on Nefertiti, the first royal to advocate belief in a monotheistic religion and one of the most mysterious Egyptian rulers. The $30 million film could be shot in different exotic locations around the world including Morocco and Dubai, and hopefully in Serbia as well.

Lucas Foster also has in his future plans the making of fantasy epic TEMERAIRE, an adaption of Naomi Novik's saga about a British captain Will Laurence, who captures a French ship, where he discovers an unhatched dragon egg in the hold – a gift from the Emperor of China intended for Napoleon. When the egg hatches, he is forced to give up his naval career to become captain of the dragon he names Temeraire. Peter Jackson said a few years ago that he wants to direct this one in the future.

And to spice up the boring Monday, here's the part when I publish a story on some bad films just as an excuse to thrill your senses with some hot pics of hot hot people: gorgeous Hayden Panettiere

will star in DOWNERS GROVE, alongside Rebecca De Mornay, a film set in a high school in Chicago where every year, one senior dies a bizarre death before the end of the school year. Panettiere's character fears that she's the next victim. Equally gorgeous Chad Michale Murray will star in a horror film HAUNTING IN GEORGIA, as a husband of a young family which moves to a new house and gets beleaguered by ghosts and a terrifying mystery that haunts the new home.
