It seems that super charming Henry Cavill, duke Charles Brandon of Suffolk from the cult TV series "The Tudors" is going ahead with his movie career after the finish of the popular historical saga. You already know that he will be the lead actor in "Immortals", a mythological tale set in war-torn ancient Greece where the young warrior, Theseus, leads his men into battle with the immortal Greek Gods to defeat evil and the powerful elder gods the Titans in order to save mankind (click to see pics). After this epic premieres in 2011, you can expect Henry in "The Cold Light of Day". Directed by Mabrouk El Mechri this action thriller will see Henry Cavill as an arrogant Wall Street stockbroker who gives into his family's wishes and takes a vacation in Spain, where his family gets kidnapped and he becomes entangled with government conspiracies and must uncover his father's deepest secret to return his family to safety.
J.J.Abrams, the man who managed to resurrect "Star Trek" saga, will produce the movie adaptation of graphic novel "Boilerplate: History's Mechanical Marvel". Created by Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett "Boilerplate" is a hybrid of a graphic novel and a picture book and tells the tale of history's first robot who fought alongside Teddy Rooosevelt, traveled to the South Pole and was even involved in the silent film business in a story that spans the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Wesley Sneijder Staying With The Nerazzurri
Soren Lerby, agent of Wesley Sneijder has told that his client will not move from Italian club Inter Milan this season. The runner-up member of this year's football World Cup was previously linked with two Manchester Clubs, City and United.
However, Lerby insists there is no reason to leave, and is fully confident his man will remain at the club.
Wesley Sneijder was even linked to Spanish giant Real Madrid as former Inter coach Jose Mourinho is now in charge of the Spanish side. However, Sneijder himself at one point during the summer seemed open to the idea of returning to Madrid but it is now can be said that he is staying with the Nerazzurri.
"This is one of those years in which everything is beautiful and perfect. It's difficult that Wesley will forget everything that has happened this year," the agent told Calcionews24.com.
"He has made history and everyone is happy for that. His future? That is with Inter, there are no doubts or problems about this."

FIRST TRAILER FOR "THOR". JAMES CAMERON AND GUILLERMO DEL TORO JOIN FORCES "AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS".
The first treat for today is a new magical poster for Zack Snyder's upcoming fantasy epic "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga Hoole". The movie which tells the epic tale of an unusual world in which owls are heroes and warriors fighting for honour and peace, shot in brilliant new animation technique, is out this September with voices from Helen Mirren, Hugo Weaving, Geoffrey Rush, Abbie Cornish, Jim Sturgess, Ryan Kwanten, Sam Neill...
Second movie treat for today is an update on Guillermo Del Toro's new project. With the help of James Cameron, who will produce his next film, Del Toro will adapt "At the Mountains of Madness" a tale by H.P. Lovecraft. The movie will bring a chilling recollection of an Antarctic expedition's uncanny discoveries and their encounter with an untold menace in the ruins of a lost civilization.
Thanks to "MovieWeb" today's most delicious treat is the first exclusive trailer from "Thor" which was presented at ComicCon. Don't miss the stunning Odin's palace and court over at Asgard, which looks larger than life. Judging from the trailer I must admit I don't like any of the actors in these roles except the Thor, Chris Hemsworth himself, but the movie sure does seem like a really really really big thing coming to us in May 2011.

"DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES" TO LAST TILL 9TH SEASON. THANDIE NEWTON AND CILLIAN MURPHY IN "THE RETREAT". EDI GATHEGI IS DARWIN IN "X-MEN:FIRST CLASS"
Even though Marc Cherry, the creator of one of the best written and most charming shows ever "Desperate Housewives", said last spring that the witty show might end in the upcoming seventh season, it seems it will last till the ninth, which means we shall see three more seasons. Nothing is still certain, but according to Cherry an end date "is in negotiation". The new season, which starts this September on ABC will also bring some new characters to Wisteria Lane, and Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman ... will be joined by Vanessa Williams and Brian Austen Green (aka Mr. Megan Fox).
Last winter, I mentioned that gorgeous Thandie Newton will star in a new thriller "The Retreat" but it seems that the male lead has changed, instead of Jason Isaacs she will partner up with wonderfully talented Cillian Murphy. The two of them will play a husband and wife who rent a remote island cottage while trying to repair their marriage. One day they find a biohazard-suited soldier washed up on the beach, who warns them that everybody on the mainland has been killed by an airborne virus. That's when the psychological game and twists begin.
And "X-Men: First Class" has got a new cast member. Edi Gathegi from the "Twilight" saga, will play Darwin, a mutant which has the powers of self-protection and continuous circumstantial evolution, which allows him to adapt to any situation like growing gills if put underwater, or gaining night vision if too dark. Gathegi joins James McAvoy as Professor Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Caleb Landry Jones as Banshee and Lucas Till as Havoc, with Kevin Bacon as a villain.

MEET KATE WINSLET'S NEW BOYFRIEND LOUIS DOWLER
So what's the best revenge after a women gets divorced from her husband because he cheated on her: maybe starting a sizzling and super steamy relationship with some sinfully gorgeous male top model who is at least ten years younger than her ex husband? Well, that's exactly what our lovely British rose Kate Winslet has done. After her marriage split from movie director Sam Mendes earlier this year, Kate wasn't crying her heart out for too long. The Oscar-winning actress has been going out with a hunky top model Louis Dowler for a few months now and they have become inseparable. Louis is her age (32) and is most famous for the Burberry fashion campaign he did with Kate Moss. Kate has been married two times and both of her husbands were much older than her so the choice of this six-foot tall and strikingly handsome model is more than interesting one. People who know him describe him as a down-to-earth guy who could give piece and security to Kate Winslet. It's interesting that Kate has shot a new miniseries this year called "Mildred Pierce" in which she plays a middle-class housewife who divorces her husband and goes on to raise their children on her own. Strange coincidence isn't it? After divorcing Mendes, Kate took their son Joe (6) and her daughter Mia (9) and they moved to New York. Are you cheering for Kate in this one?
Sol Campbell Signs For Newcastle United
Sol Campbell has signed for Newcastle United on a one-year contract. Campbell was a free player after his contract with Arsenal ended this summer.
"At this stage of my career I couldn't have wished for a better move," the 35-year-old told the Newcastle website.

Diego Maradona Resigns as Argentine Football Coach
Thus ends the role of Diego Maradona as coach for Argentine National Football Team. His contract was ended yesterday (27th July, 2010). This decision was taken by the country's soccer association, AFA, because Maradona wasn’t prepared to accept changes to his coaching staff.
The Argentine Football Association’s executive committee “unanimously resolved” not to renew the deal after AFA President Julio Grondona relayed details of his meeting with Maradona a day earlier, the governing body said in a statement.
Differences between Maradona and Grondona “were impossible to resolve,” association spokesman Ernesto Cherquis Bialo told reporters in Buenos Aires. Maradona, 49, said on Argentine television this week that he wouldn’t continue in the post he took in late 2008 if the association insisted on him changing his coaching staff.
Diego Maradona had led Argentina through some impressive performances during the World Cup 2010 before being demolished by Germany 0-4 in the quarter-finals.
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE TO STAR IN SF FILM "I'M.MORTAL". RIHANNA TO STAR IN SF ACTION "BATTLESHIP"
OK two pieces of news on insanely popular singers getting movie roles. First a good one: one of the most talented music stars, Justin Timberlake, has been offered the role in "I'm.Mortal", the sf movie directed by Andrew Niccol that I wrote about last month. The story takes place in a future where the aging gene has been eliminated and immortality is granted to those who can afford it, with "time" essentially becoming society's currency. Amanda Seyfried will play a girl who gets taken hostage by Justin's character (if he takes the role), who murdered a man for his "time" and goes on the run. Now, if this really happen, Justin and Amanda could possible become the most adorable movie couple ever. Justin Timberlake has already proved a few times before that he has serious acting skills as well, giving solid performances in "Edison",
"Alpha Dog" and will star in "The Social Network" and "Friends With Benefits".
The bad news is that pop-tart Rihanna will make her debut on film in what is already considered one of the most unpromising upcoming movies - "Battleship", a sf action which takes place across the seas, over the skies and land in a battle for planet survival against a superior alien force. Taylor Kitsch will be a naval officer who leads the fight while Alexander Skarsgård will play his brother. This movie is basically an adaptation of Hasbro's naval combat board game and as some jester said somewhere around Internet today - when the aliens start attacking, Rihanna will tell everyone to get under her umbrella, ella, ella...e,e,e ... :)

Sussex Cricket Fans Hit by Meteorites?
Jan Marszal, 51, and Richard Haynes, 52 with two pieces of meteorites
Two English cricket fans claim that they were hit by meteorites when they were watching a county cricket match between Middlesex and Sussex in Uxbridge when it hurtled towards them. Jan Marszal, 51, and Richard Haynes, 52 were the two Sussex fans that claim such incident.
One piece struck Mr Marszal on the chest, while the other bounced on the boundary board. They described the rock landing five yards inside the boundary, before breaking in two, with one part bouncing up and striking Marszal on the chest.
Mr Marszal, an IT consultant, said: "'We were sitting at the boundary edge when all of a sudden, out of a blue sky, we saw this small dark object hurtling towards us.
"'It landed five yards inside the boundary and split into two pieces.
"One piece bounced up and hit me in the chest and the other ended up against the boundary board." (as reported by Uxbridgegazette.co.uk)
Meteorite expert Dr Matthew Genge said: "It would be the first fall in the UK since 1992."

Now if you like to watch music talent shows, this might interest you: you already know that two possible candidates to replace Simon Cowell in "American Idol" jury are two good guys Harry Connick Jr and Chris Isaak, but it seems that another (but a bad) one is lobbying for this role as well: believe it or not it's Donald Trump himself. Meanwhile, over in the UK, Simon Cowell has to find someone to replace Cheryl Cole (a British pop singer better known as a footballer's wife who can't really sing), who is recovering from malaria, in the jury for "X Factor". It seems that her place will be taken by the super stunning beauty and amazing singer Nicole Scherzinger.
Something that might excite my boys and I just had to show it to them is the exclusive new poster for the upcoming CW show "Nikita" (a reboot of the old show with Peta Wilson), which shows the main actress Maggie Q all sexy and steamy, which is why the tag-line for the show is "Looks Do Kill". Starting this September with Maggie Q and Shane West, "Nikita" will follow the adventures of a girl which was in her teen years rescued from death row by Division, who faked her execution and told her she was being given a second chance to start a new life and serve her country. Little did she know that she was being trained as a spy and assassin. Check out the teaser for the show as well:

This the year for St George?
Once again St George are sitting on top of the NRL ladder but the question remains how they will play in September during the finals. Last year they were in the same position and bowed out in straight sets. Will this year be any different?
The salary cap scandal that engulfed the Storm means they are out of the running. Otherwise they would be in fourth position and a serious contender for the title. Currently in second spot you have Penrith, behind them you have the Tigers, Manly and Roosters.
Interestingly enough each of those teams won the title in the past decade so they know what it takes in order to win won. The Broncos are always up there but currently they are in ninth spot. They are on 22 points which is level with South Sydney.
This past round there were some interesting results. Gold Coast defeated St George by a point in extra time. Melbourne defeated Penrith and Souths took out the Warriors in a high scoring game. Manly defeated the West Tigers in a spiteful encounter while the Broncos and Roosters are still to play.
Round 21 is going to throw up some more interesting matches. Parramatta host the Roosters in what should be a fierce match. What will be a huge game is the one which sees the Broncos host the Dragons. Over the years, the two have played some intense matches. Obviously Wayne Bennett coaching the Dragons gives the game an extra dimension. He was very successful at the Broncos and for a long time symbolized the team. He is now at the Dragons trying to bring them their first title in over 30 years.
He is already a huge legend of the game but should Bennett be responsible for breaking the drought for the most famous club in the competition, he will be the greatest of all time. At the moment, there is a lot of betting action on the Dragons but on the other hand, people are wary of them collapsing in the finals.
Adding more to the Dragons and Broncos rivalry is the two grand finals they played in consecutive years in the early 1990s. The Dragons just weren’t able to get over the line and continued their years without anything to show for it. Also you have players who have played for both clubs such as Gorden Tallis and Wendell Sailor.

MLS Kansas City Wizards Stuns EPL Manchester United 2-1
Kansas City Wizards 2 v/s Manchester United 1
Kansas City Wizards's Sunil Chhetri against Johhny Evans of Manchester United
Kei Kamara's Winning (2nd goal for KCW)
Wow!..Kansas City Wizards has made their fans proud. Two goal from Davy Arnaud and Kamara helped them to stun EPL Manchester United 2-1, and that too playing with 10-men for 50 minutes. In the 40th minute of the game KCW's Jimmy Conard was shown the red card and so the MLS team was reduced to 10 men. Jimmy Conrad was shown a red card after his sliding tackle on Dimitar Berbatov in the penalty box. Dimitar Berbatov scored from the spot kick in the 40th-minute for MU, while Davy Arnaud scored in 11th minute and Kamara scored 2 minutes from the breather.
India's Sunil Chhetri was called upon by KCW's coach Peter Vermes in the final 20-minutes of the game. But, one can imagine the role of a striker when his team is down to 10 men. But nevetheless, Sunil kept MU defenders on their toes and kept them busy with his opportunistic solo runs.
A reported crowd of 52,424 turned out on Sunday to watch the Kansas City Wizards defeat Manchester United at Arrowhead Stadium.
Sunil Chhetri...we as Indians are proud of you. You have made your country and club proud. Good Luck with MLS future.

ZACHARY LEVI MIGHT BE THE NEW SUPERMAN. FIRST FOOTAGE FROM MEDIEVAL EPIC "IRONCLAD"
Now, since Mark Ruffalo officially got the role of Hulk and Jeremy Runner will be Hawkeye in "The Avengers", the world needs a new superhero movie casting mystery. So, here's a charming one: talented comedian Zachary Levi from "Chuck" has openly admitted he would like to be the lead star of the new "Superman" reboot.

Great news from the ComicCon in San Diego people: my own favourite Karl Urban has confirmed yesterday to "MovieWeb" that he will take the lead role in the remake of the sf blockbuster "Judge Dredd". Directed by Pete Travis and coming to cinemas in 2012, "Judge Dredd" will be set in the Third Millennium where a powerful and efficient hybrid of the police and judicial system has given birth to group of new guardians of the law with the power to dispense instant justice and punishment. These judges are law enforcer, jury and executioner at the same time.
Another news that might excite some of you is that Joss Whedon officially confirmed yesterday that he will, after all, really direct "The Avengers", a movie which will gather together some of the biggest superheroes such as Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk ... The film is set for 2012 release.
And a few days ago I gave you the first picture from Zack Snyder's ("300", "Watchmen") 2011 film "Sucker Punch", but today I have six absolutely amazing character posters from the movie which will follow a girl who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather and lobotomy. She ends up in mental institution and while there she starts to imagine alternative reality. She plans to escape from that imaginary world but to do that she needs to steal five objects before she is caught by a vile man. These stunning posters show her and the five very unique girls which will join her in the adventure.
