Cameron, Hitler Rumours

Two huge projects are being talked about online today, but both are so early in development it's best to take all of this with not only salt but patience: Automatons AICN has posted a special report on a project that's the brainchild of writers Ed Solomon ("Men in Black") and Chris Matheson ("Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"). Seems the pair have already recorded all the dialogue for what they hope will be a stop-motion animation project that they've been developing for over a decade now. The plot follows two giant self-aware robots built in WW2 to kill Hitler, only too have ended up stuck on the ocean floor for the past 60 years. Meanwhile Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo have escaped from their own secret cryo-chambers and decide to do a knock-off play version of "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown". Amongst the voices already recorded - Jack Black & John C. Reilly as the robots, Sylvestar Stallone as Mussolini, Billy Bob Thornton as The Holy Earth Father and John Cleese as Adolph Hitler.

James Cameron's Sci-Fi Project Moviehole reports that James Cameron’s next flick, a mega-budgeted $200 million dollar 3-D movie, is coming together nicely. Brian Cox [“Manhunter”, “The Ring”] is apparently a certainty to have a role in it. Cox’s role is likely to be a lead. Cameron also wants some even bigger names for some of the parts - certain action heroes of the 80's in fact. "I think (the movie) is going to be huge, and it's going to be a huge enabler for the 3-D experience," Cameron said at this month’s Large Format Cinema Association conference and festival. Some sources say the film may centre on Man’s first trip to Mars, but Cameron has yet to announce the storyline. Thanks to 'Karachi' & 'AB King'
