Sources have told the Hollywood Reporter that Chris Evans has been offered the part of Steve Rogers and his alter ego Captain America. However, neither Marvel nor the actor have confirmed or commented on the situation.

But he’s already Johnny Storm! Well I’m no Fantastic Four movie fanboy (if they even exist), so hey I don’t mind, but most likely there will be some criticism about that from somewhere. Still he joins a long list of would be Captain America’s including: Michael Cassidy, Chase Crawford, Patrick Flueger, Garret Hedlund, John Krasinski, Scott Porter, Chris Pine, Wilson Blethel and Mike Vogel.

One thing that’s hurting Evans’ possibility is that he is shooting the romantic comedy “What’s Your Number” with Anna Faris. This movie and Captain America both shoot this summer and it would be impossible to do both at the same time. But seeing that it’s Captain America and it comes with multi film deals I think it shouldn’t be that hard for him to decide.

The LA Times is reporting that top executives at Fox, including Fox owner Rupert Murdoch, are eager to sign a deal with O’Brien.  However, a couple of key things still need to be addressed.

One thing is the price tag. At NBC, O’Brien was given a budget for the show of $90 million annually. Fox wants to bring that sum to $60 million and increase it from there if the show becomes successful.

Another, bigger problem is the time slot. Fox’s late night programming is made up of local news followed by reruns. For example, here in Los Angeles following the news at 10 is The Simpsons at 11, The Office at 11:30 and King of the Hill at 12 and 12:30. This is different all around the country but some Fox stations have licensing agreements that don’t expire for two years to air these reruns. This means that a late show would air in different time slots: either 11 or 11:30 or in some cities, even later. Not until these rerun contracts have expired would they be able to air a late night show at the same time.

Jason Maltby, a top ad buyer states “Without a uniform start time, it would be hard to get traction for a show and hard to promote it. Saying, ‘Check your local listings’ doesn’t have the same ring to it as saying, ‘ The Tonight Show at 11:35 p.m.’ ”

If Fox and Coco aren’t able to reach a deal, then O’Brien plans to look to cable. Meanwhile, he is set to start his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour in April. “It was either a massive 30-city tour or start helping out around the house.” Good choice Coco.

I'm with Team Coco.

I realize that Marathon is actually not quite Halo, but those of us that have beaten Halo 3 on Legendary and have a combination of WAY too much time on our hands, and WAY too much outdated and useless knowledge realize that Master Chief is TOTALLY the BA dude from Marathon.

Five Word Game Reviews!

Dear Readers, here’s a contest. Whoever has the best five-word-review of a game gets my eternal adoration. Also, people you don’t know on the internet will fall in love with you because you’re funny.

Thanks for reading, and look out for my God of War III review VERY SOON!

This is the eighth season of 24 and because of the declining ratings and rising costs it was reported that it may be its last. Yes, it looked like 24 was destined to become another canceled Fox show. However, 20^th Century Fox has approached NBC about picking up 24 if Fox decides to cancel it. An insider at NBC stated “There’s definitely some interest.”

The 24 execs had been planning on making a 24 movie for a long time, but couldn’t while the series was still on the air. So if it does get canceled and NBC doesn’t pick it up then Jack still might have a chance for a comeback.

But is it a lost cause? Did 24 get so bad that there’s no way of making it as good as it used to be? Only time will tell.

Unfortunately, your time may be up Jack.

While working on the third Batman film, David S. Goyer, Nolan’s long time collaborator, brought up the topic of Superman. If you’re not familiar with Goyer, he wrote the screenplay and story for Batman Begins, story for The Dark Knight, is working on the story for X-Men Origins: Magneto, plus a whole lot more. According to Nolan:

“He basically told me, ‘I have this thought about how you would approach Superman.’ I immediately got it, loved it and thought: That is a way of approaching the story I’ve never seen before that makes it incredibly exciting. We’re approaching it in a not dissimilar way in terms of trying to find an incredible story in a way that audiences can engage with it the way they engage with contemporary action films, I think David’s approach is a very good way of doing just that.”

As a result of this idea, which Nolan is keeping hush about, Goyer is now beginning to write the screenplay with Nolan close by.

What about Batman? Nolan had this to say:

“Without getting into specifics, the key thing that makes the third film a great possibility for us is that we want to finish our story, and in viewing it as the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story. I’m very excited about the end of the film, the conclusion, and what we’ve done with the characters. My brother has come up with some pretty exciting stuff. Unlike the comics, these things don’t go on forever in film and viewing it as a story with an end is useful. Viewing it as an ending, that sets you very much on the right track about the appropriate conclusion and the essence of what tale we’re telling. And it harkens back to that priority of trying to find the reality in these fantastic stories. That’s what we do.”

So it looks like we’re only getting one more Batman movie out of Christopher Nolan. But if the new Superman is a hit, then maybe a crossover film between Batman and Superman could be a possibility, like Marvel and The Avengers movie.

When asked about the cast for the third installment of Batman, Nolan stated that key surviving characters from the first two films will be returning and will be played by the same actors. When asked about the villains, Nolan kept his mouth shut but did say for a fact that Mr. Freeze will not be one of them. That’s kind of weird don’t you think? Why would he just single out Mr. Freeze?

Sorry Mr. Freeze, we won't be seeing you anytime soon.

If these don’t seem like a lot of details, well they aren’t, but that’s all he had to say. This is probably due to the fact that these movies are way too early in development to reveal anything big. And besides, it wouldn’t be fun to know everything all at once would it?

Another reason for the little amount of details is that Nolan is busy in post production with his newest movie “Inception” starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Inception opens in theaters on July 16 and if you haven’t seen the trailer it looks VERY good. See for yourself.

Having been let go before Activision was due to give them a royalty payment, West and Zampella claim that Activision breached its contract and then “seized control of the Infinity Ward studio.” “Activision has refused to honor the terms of its agreements and is intentionally flouting the fundamental public policy of this State (California) that employers must pay their employees what they have rightfully earned,” alleges the pair’s lawyer.
