As their planned production date slips ever closer, Sony are now hunting around for a cast for Men in Black 3. Will Smith's Agent J is already there and Josh Brolin looks increasingly likely to play a young Tommy Lee Jones, but what about Yaz? He's a new character. And he may be played by Jermaine Clement.

Yes, Sony are circling Flight of the Conchord's funny man Jermaine for their new Man in Black, with Sacha Baron Cohen also on their wish list. The script, from Tropic Thunder's Etan Cohen, seems promising enough to keep this tired franchise moving forward. But with Clement or Baron Cohen on board, MiB 3 could well mark a return to the first film's form. 

Let's just hope Jermaine's wearing his business socks. Because when he's down to just his socks, you know what time it is: it's business time. Oh yeah...

IRON MAN 2! IRON MAN 2! IRON MAN 2!

Sorry, I'm a little excited by this new trailer. After all the glitz and glamour of the Academy Awards, it's hard to be impressed by another snazzy suit. But this suit belongs to Iron Man. Does your suit fire rockets, fly through the air, and come out of a briefcase? Tony Stark's does. And you can see it in its full-on graphic novel glory in this new trailer.

There are bits we've seen before, with Mickey Rourke's whips, Tony's grand-standing for the crowds, a short sequence at the Monaco Grand Prix. But Sam Rockwell? Scarlett Johansson? The briefcase suit? These are new treats for our retinas. And they look good. Thought you were excited by Iron Man's sequel? In 2 minutes and 28 seconds, you'll be positively gagging for it.

Read on for the shiny explosive video.

The world was surprised when Ridley Scott announced he would be making another Alien film. But now Shadowlocked have revealed that this prequel will be in 3-D.

Interviewing Roger Christian - art director on Star Wars and Alien, to mention a few - he confirmed to Shadowlocked that Alien would be facehugging their way out of the screen: "Ridley's doing the next Alien in 3D." It sounds like Ridley's next to ride the 3-D gravy train, but Roger isn't concerned:

"Ridley told me some of his ideas. He has a very clear understanding of where this should go. They kind of stopped dead one of the greatest horror franchises there's ever been, and it had legs to go on. So I'm hoping he'll revive another three."

Now Roger isn't officially involved in Alien 5 - expect that to change soon - but he's clearly excited about the prospect of 3-D Aliens. Then again, it's hard not to be intrigued by the potential blend of HR Giger's freaky nightmares and the studio's three-dimensional money making. "If ever I went back to designing, the only film I would ever want to design is Alien, if Ridley re-did it." That whole immersive argument ain't entirely convincing, but if Ridley gets Roger on board, maybe we might have something good on our hands.

Well, the stars were out in force, dresses and statues in tow, and overall the Academy Awards went to the right people. Sure, Colin Firth and Carey Mulligan didn't win, but they were never going to. The award everyone was watching out for was Best Film. Would it go to Avatar or The Hurt Locker? Well, the answer was a pretty resounding Hurt Locker.

Yes, the Oscars this year showed that money can't buy you awards (although it can buy you a lot of blue people), as Kathryn Bigelow walked away with a well-deserved and historic win for Best Director, as well as taking the Best Film Oscar too. Picking up technical nominations like Editing and Sound along the way, everything was pointing towards a clean sweep of the board. And it pretty much was.

The others all went as expected, with the major surprise being Best Foreign Language Film, which went to The Secret in Their Eyes instead of A Prophet or even The White Ribbon. And despite Jason Reitman's wins at other ceremonies, Best Adapted Screenplay chose Geoffrey Fletcher's full-on adaptation of Precious (Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire) instead. Maybe it was the title that did it.

Trailer

Lewis Carroll's loopy classic gets a Tim Burton tinkering in this unfamiliar take on a family favourite. Alice (Wasikowska) is a girl on the brink of a marriage proposal - from a snobby idiot with red hair. Now 19, she's a strange creature, at odds with society. Convinced her half-forgotten childhood trip to Wonderland was all a dream, she soon falls back down the same rabbit hole to a very different place. This isn't Lewis Carroll's Wonderland. Oh no. This is Tim Burton's Underland.

We all do it. Get a little paranoid about our partner's promiscuity. And we all take the logical step of hiring a prostitute to seduce said spouse. Right? Well, that's what Catherine (Moore) does. Concerned about David (Neeson) and his flirty ways with women, she calls up Chloe (Seyfriend) - your friendly neighbourhood strumpet - and pays her to pick up her husband. Can you say mentally unbalanced? Catherine can.
