'Captain America' sequel gets two directors; 'Robocop' remake castings and Lindelof on a third 'Trek' film

It looks like Marvel will hire two brothers known more for comedy -You, Me & Dupree and directing and executive producing the low-rated but strongly followed NBC comedy Community- to helm Captain America 2, beating out two earlier contenders, George Nolfi (The Adjustment Bureau) and F. Gary Gray. If Joe and Anthony Russo (Arrested Development, Happy Endings) seem like an odd choice, consider Marvel's previous selections to helm their superhero series, from Shakespearean trained Kenneth Branagh for Thor to Joss Whedon for The Avengers. And beyond the somewhat misstep with Iron Man 2, their track record is pretty good.

Universal is moving forward with a sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman, and have hired David Koepp (Jurassic Park) to write the script -which will hopefully address the first films messy storyline, horrible dialogue and hopefully provide a better payoff. Talks are also underway to bring back director Rupert Sanders. The sequel would most likely concentrate on the Huntsman character played by Chris Hemsworth, though Kristen Stewart does have options –like Hemsworth- for 2 more films. 

Samuel A. Jackson and Abbie Cornish will be added to the Robocop remake, for director Jose Padilha. The Killing star Joel Kinneman has already been cast the in the titular role, as well as Gary Oldman who’ll play the scientist who is responsible for creating the Robocop. Shooting begins in September. 

With more than a year away from the Untitled Star Trek Sequel™, writer Damon Lindleof –doing press for Prometheus- says they’re already discussing a third film in the rebooted franchise. Well, sort of: “It would be very hard to not be involved in Trek moving forward,” he told the TrekMovie site. “We certainly don’t feel that a third movie is a foregone conclusion. Hopefully the second movie turns out well and we are really happy about everything so far. So three movies, again not to do everything that Christopher Nolan does, but if you do it right it’s a good model. But that idea, whether you want to call it a trilogy or not, although I reserve the right to when we are talking four years from now to say ‘this is the third movie in our trilogy,’ but it does feel that three movies is the right responsibility for us to have the baton for before we then pass it off to the people who are take Trek to wherever they want to take it. So if this movie turns out well, would I be writing on the third movie? Who knows? But, we did talk a lot in the writing of this movie and during production about what the next movie might be and started getting excited about some of the ideas, so it would be hard to say no to that.”
