Nobody can keep a secret nowadays. According to Slash Film, Disney/Pixar announced Peter Docter will be making a second “Monsters, Inc.” at a special session with particular buyers at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas. Even though the guests of this special session were sworn to secrecy, a number of attendees have confirmed this news, one of which is Jim Hill. Slash Film’s article mentioned that a Pixar fansite, The Pixar Blog, noticed an significant number of searches in January for items like ‘monsters 2013 pixar.’ What was interesting about these queries was that they weren’t being conducted by curious fans. They were actually coming from the Pixar.com domain.

Cam Gigandet is reveling in “Twilight” success. In fact, he is so thankful for having had the opportunity to play a vampire; he’s decided to play one again! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gigandet will join Paul Bettany in the horror Western “Priest.” The story comes from a TokyoPop comic book about a warrior priest (Bettany) who must save his niece from vampires. Gigandet’s character will be a sheriff who is half vampire. The big difference between his role in “Twilight” and this one is that this time around, he’ll be fighting on the good side. I wonder if Screen Gems is considering casting Kirsten Stewart as the niece. Gigandet tried to kill her in “Twilight;” it’d be an interesting twist to see him try to save her.

The relationship between Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal may not have worked out in “Brokeback Mountain,” but they may give it another shot. Both are in negotiations to star in “Love and Other Drugs,” based on Jamie Reidy’s nonfiction book “Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman.” Gyllenhall would play Reidy, a Pfizer salesman who falls for a woman who has Parkinson’s (Hathaway). According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox 2000/New Regency hopes to begin shooting in the fall, but still hasen’t acquired all of the necessary rights.

Javier Bardem may eat, pray and love with Julia Roberts and Richard Jenkins. According to Variety, Bardem is in negations to join the cast of “Eat, Pray, Love,” a Columbia Pictures film based on Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir. Roberts will play the author and Jenkins a Texan whom she befriends. If all goes to plan, Bardem will play Roberts’ character’s love interest.

Some of America’s favorite actors are Australian. There’s Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe and Naomi Watts. Soon we may have another young actor to add to that list, Callan McAuliffe. The 14-year-old will join Aidan Quinn, Penelope Ann Miller, John Mahoney, Anthony Edwards, Rebecca De Mornay and Kevin Weisman in “Flipped,” which will mark his American film debut. The story comes from the Wendelin Van Draanen novel about a boy and girl learning about love. The Hollywood Reporter says McAuliffe will play the young boy.

Masi Oka doesn’t only enjoy playing a hero on TV, he enjoys playing one in videogames as well. Oka came up with the idea for “The Defenders,” a film about kids who play a multiplayer video game while playing one himself. Oka, who plays MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) told The Hollywood Reporter, "You can be whoever you want to be. The question came to me: What if you had to live up to the person you created in the virtual world?" The story will involve these online gamers having to live up to their virtual characters.

“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” delayed again? Yes, unfortunately that news is true. But don’t worry Potter fans; the delay only involves the IMAX version of the film. TV Watch Online said the regular version of the film will hit theaters on July 15th, but the IMAX won’t be released until July 29th. The contract IMAX has with “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” states that if Paramount filmed portions of the movie with special IMAX cameras, IMAX would guarantee the film an exclusive four week run on the extra large screens. This arrangement was made back when “HP6” was set for a November release. If “Transformers” premieres on IMAX June 24th, it would be impossible for it to finish its run before “Potter” hits theaters.

Cinematical posted an entry about Worth 1000’s contest asking people to re-imagine their favorite “Star Wars” character using a celebrity. Click here to see all the entries and check out the image to the left to see my favorite.

You’d think this would be exciting news, but hearing that Kirsten Dunst will definitely be returning for “Spider-Man 4” is a bit of a disappointment. Dunst took a high-flying action film and made it drag. I couldn’t tell if she was just washed out or bored through the “Spider-Man 3.” Anyway, according to the New York Post, Todd Black made the announcement and divulged some other Spidey news. He said the alleged Peter Parker/Mary Jane Watson wedding will not be in the fourth film and that the film’s villain will not be Morbius the vampire as many have suspected.

Quiet Earth posted the trailer for Leslie Bibb’s new flick “Miss Nobody.” Sarah Jane McKinney (Bibb) may come across as a quiet secretary, but she’s hiding a dark and deadly secret. This is the first I’ve heard of this film, so I was surprised to see that Bibb is joined by an impressive list of talent: Missi Pyle, Adam Goldberg, Brandon Routh, Vivica A. Fox and Eddie Jemison. The film looks pretty good – in an unusual, unsettling and sadistic sort of way.
