Tom Hanks and his production partner Gary Goetzman want to turn Green Day's "American Idiot" album into a new movie.

The concept album has already been turned into a hit stage musical and now Hanks and his Playtone partner want to put it on the big screen, according to Internet reports.

Playtone was the company behind hit Abba musical "Mamma Mia!"

The "American Idiot" stage show opens at the St. James Theatre on Broadway later this week after scoring sell outs and success in California.

Popeye movie coming in 3-D - Edmonton Journal

Posted: 23 Mar 2010 11:48 PM PDT

Popeye's famously massive forearms will bulge larger than ever when the squinty-eyed sailor makes his return to the big screen in 3-D.

Variety magazine reported Tuesday that a deal has been reached to release a new animated movie starring the flinty seaman, his longtime love interest Olive Oyl, nemesis Bluto and adopted child Swee'Pea. No date has been announced for the movie's release.

The film will be made by Sony Pictures Animation with its Image-Works division handling the computer graphics.

Popeye was last seen on the big screen in 1980 when comedian Robin Williams starred in a live-action version directed by Robert Altman.

Created by E.C. Segar, the animated character Popeye first appeared in the already established Thimble Theater comic strip in 1929. Introduced as a walk-on character, Popeye eventually became the strip's star.

In each episode of the cartoon, the iconic sailor invariably succeeds in getting himself or his associates out of a jam, but only after consuming a can of spinach, which magically gives him herculean strength.

EWAN MCGREGOR LANDS LEAD IN MADONNA MOVIE? - New Kerala

Posted: 23 Mar 2010 11:09 AM PDT

Scottish actor EWAN MCGREGOR has landed the lead role in MADONNA's movie about late British royal KING EDWARD VIII, according to reports.

The Material Girl is stepping behind the camera for a second time to direct a historical drama based on the former King, who abdicated in 1936 so he could marry twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson.

And the Trainspotting actor is set to play Edward in the upcoming movie, reports Screen Daily.

McGregor will join Vera Farmiga, who is slated to play Simpson, as well as Abbie Cornish, who has also been linked to the project.

Madonna made her directorial debut in 2008 with Filth and Wisdom, which was panned by critics.
