Actress Sigourney Weaver has shared details of her participation in two upcoming major projects - the sequel to "Avatar" and third "Ghostbusters."
Despite the death of the heroine in the film by James Cameron, Weaver confirmed that her character Grace Augustine appears in the following series, which will be removed one by one.
"Do not panic, I'll be back. Jim Cameron said that in science fiction, no one ever dies. He explained to me the next two plots of films. Ready to say that they are extremely wonderful, incredible potential. Now he only has to shoot them"- said the actress during an interview, timed to the release of film "Pursuit", where she played with Taylor Lautner.
In addition, Sigourney said about her participation in trilogy "Ghostbusters", whose shooting will begin next spring (in 2012 and scheduled to work on the project Cameron): "Until I read the script. They called me a couple of times. I know that they rewrite it. Everything I've said it hoped that my son in the film, Oscar, is old enough to be Ghostbusters. Ivan Reitman approved. Besides, I know nothing. I hope that all will be good, as we've already done two remarkable films".
In addition, the actress said that she would like Bill Murray's consent, because without him, her participation may also be called into question.
However, American viewers will be able accurately to see the star of "Alien" at the big screen in connection with the "Ghostbusters" in the near future, as the first tape of series studio decided to show, to identify the interest of viewers for the third film franchise.

Fans of novels "Ghostbusters" continue to jam tomorrow. The truth, as usual, is somewhere nearby, but this week Dan Aykroyd again raised the topic of the third movie franchise.
After several years of talk and rumors of the original Star Novels Dan Aykroyd appeared on the radio program of Dennis Miller and said that "Ghostbusters 3" will start production in spring of next year. The actor added that Bill Murray has not yet agreed to participate in the project but the creators of the third part are making every effort to persuade the intractable artist.
"Yes, we will shoot the film. And, hopefully, with Mr. Murray - said Aykroyd. - At least we hope so. We have a great script".
In March this year Ivan Reitman said: "The script is very good. All the actors read it and were delighted. We are waiting for Bill Murray to read it".
However, if Murray will continue to resist, the project can start and without his involvement. Before this, even out of the question, but now things have changed.
Aykroyd has finally shed some light on the subject of a future film. The story begins with the problems at the main characters - they can’t catch a ghost so quickly as before. So they have to recruit a team of young hunters.
"My hero, Ray went blind in one eye and can no longer drive a" Cadillac " – says Dan. - He has a sore knee, and Igon (Harold Ramis hero) did put on weight and could barely move. We need new blood, and that was constructed plot. We will give it the younger generation. "
Who will star in "Ghostbusters 3" is not reported. "We need three guys and a girl," - says Dan Aykroyd. Dan himself would like to see in one of the roles of the star series "Criminal Minds" Matthew Gray Gubler.
Will the third "Ghostbusters" have a fourth team member Ernie Hudson? In April, the actor, complained that none of the original members did not offer him a place in trilogy.
Steven Soderbergh works on “The Hunger Games”

Director of "Ocean's Eleven" doesn’t stop to amaze the film world. Once he shoots porn star in the title role, then decides to retire, in order to draw, but now he has surpassed himself. Steven Soderbergh is headed by second crew of the film "The Hunger Games."
In recent days on Twitter might find mention of the presence of Steven Soderbergh on the set of "The Hunger Games." Remember, this is an adaptation of the eponymous bestseller Suzanne Collins who composed a trilogy about the harsh world of the future, where teens are forced to take part in a deadly battle.
Director of the project is Gary Ross. Production designer of "The Hunger Games" is Eddie Mills wrote on Twitter: "This weekend we've got Soderbergh! Very cool!"
As the number of exclamation marks rolls over, it seems that Stephen really came to the shooting. But in what capacity? And then tweet illuminator Chris Blackstone helps: "Wow! Just found out that Steven Soderbergh comes to us to lead second crew! "
Sources of Playlist blog confirmed the rumors: Soderbergh and really helps Gary Ross to shoot "The Hunger Games." But again, all is not as sudden as it seems from the outside. Stephen and Gary are actually old friends. Soderbergh has produced one of the best films of Ross "Pleasantville". Another link was Philip Messina, costume designer of "The Hunger Games", who worked on many films with Soderbergh - "Traffic," "Solaris," "Erin Brockovich" and Danny Ocean's trilogy.
Given that the movie should be in theaters for 22 March next year, Soderbergh's decision to help his friend is very correct. Stephen is famous for his ability to work very quickly. Like Matt Damon said, while working on the "Contaminated", Soderbergh is mounted a picture and in 20 minutes has shown amazing material, which has been shooting for the whole day. Generally Damon sometimes talks too much, for what Soderbergh at the recent Comic-Con convention has called him a 14-year old girl.
The attractiveness of such commercial project as "The Hunger Games" for a number of snobs instantly increased. And let the second work crew does not affect the overall perception of the film, the degree of expectation of the project has actually increased.

Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau interview

Robert Downey Jr. for a time left the film set of "The Avengers" in New Mexico and visited Hero Complex Film Festival in Hollywood, where in a joint interview with director Jon Favreau spoke about both parts of the movie "Iron Man" and a looming on the horizon, the third part of the franchise, which will shoot director Shane Black.
Downey Jr.: Here's what I want to say at the outset. The most difficult question about the "Iron Man 3" is to persuade Jon Favreau to star in the film.
Favreau: If in the third part there will be not Frick, I will not participate too. If Happy Hogan will not turn in Frick, I, again, will not participate (Frick - alter-ego of Happy Hogan, a friend of Tony Stark). That's what happens with Hogan - he will marry Pepper Potts
Downey Jr. : Wait, you want both...?
Favreau: I want romantic scene with Pepper Potts (I'll be back) and I want to turn into a Freak.
Downey Jr.: Negotiations have already begun, and since then I agree with every point of the contract. Shane ... all so interesting. The fact is that when we were working on "Iron Man 2," we happened to John was a hitch - just could not figure out type of bond between scenes. In short, hung. I say, "Come on, we'll consult with Shane." We call, I told him, "Hey, Shane, we have no money," and he "Bring me some salmon and blueberries." In general, he helped us to come up with a couple of scenes then. And now it is something like the life cycle, and now Shane will direct the third "Iron Man" and asks: "And when we talk to John?" And let John now helps.
Favreau: I love this franchise, and I'm a big fan of Shane, and I hope that what I can – I’ll help, because I want the project to grow and develop. When the choice finally fell on Shane, I said, "Super, it will be interesting." Especially when you consider that the third part will be very difficult to remove any director because of the "Avengers" - in "Iron Man 3" action takes place after the events in "The Avengers."
Downey Jr.: And, again, the hardest thing in "Iron Man 3" - is to determine daily fees of Favreau. It will be gigantic. And be sure, they will pay it to him.
Finally, Downey said that after 6 weeks of work on the set of "Avengers", he did not face any problems that usually arise from him during the filming of other projects.
Downey Jr.: Well, I hate all (laughter). I do not mean fellow actors and Joss. I mean, that, looking at the prepared scene, used to say:" It is absolutely impossible, we can’t shoot, it's horrible. I can name you a dozen pictures, which was something like that, I refuse". Usually, I start the morning of my working day - I protest against what subscribed. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that I came to New Mexico in the usual frame of mind, thinking: "How are they going to cope with all these clowns? One - dressed from head to toe, the second - smashing everything around, but about the poor Mark Ruffalo generally keep quiet. "And what happened? For the past 6 weeks we do a project and I have to say that Joss Whedon has everything under control. He is damn clever and cool. And the film will be cool. I can not believe what I just said that! I never believed in this project, but now think it will be a bomb.

Dinosaurs once again attracted the attention of Steven Spielberg. Recently, the director met with screenwriter of "Thor" Mark Protasiewicz and discussed the possibility of extending the franchise of "Jurassic Park."

In 2008, the director had planned to put his version of the famous movie with Will Smith in the title role. However, the producers could not solve the problem with the rights to stage, which eventually led to stopping the project.
"Jurassic Park" on the novel by Michael Crichton, was released in 1993. Film with a budget of $ 63 million in worldwide box office collected 914 million and raised the special effects in movies to a new level. The sequel, released in 1997, earned 618 million. The third film Spielberg did not shoot, limiting producers' functions. Joe Johnston completed the trilogy with fees 368 million dollars.
With the advent of the format 3D, Spielberg got the idea to revive the dinosaurs with all the advances of modern technology.
Spielberg is now finalizing the first part of a planned trilogy of Tintin. Further, the director is going to make a film about Abraham Lincoln.
It remains to add that "Jurassic Park 4" existed in 2007, at least in the form of a script.
