Drops Some Details,Big Screen CAPTAIN AMERICA Director and Does the world need a Superman (movie)?

Today's big news was of course the announcement that Warner Bros is in fact going ahead with yet another Superman reboot. That's not terribly surprising, as various litigation involving the heirs of Superman creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel has made it of paramount importance that Warner Bros gets a new Superman film off the ground by 2011. But what is genuinely shocking is that Chris Nolan has been brought on to apparently 'oversee' the film. He's not (as of yet) directing it,
And the equally good news is that the Chris and John Nolan and David Goyer seem to be off and running with a third Batman picture, one that will be made on their schedule and at their discretion. But really, is Warner that stupid to presume that the work Nolan did on Batman makes him appropriate for Superman? Does anyone think that Superman Returns disappointed (in relation to expectations and its $270 million-budget) because it wasn't dark and gritty enough? Superman Returns underwhelmed because it was a confused film, unsure whether to be its own thing or a direct sequel to the Richard Donner Superman (and arguably, the Richard Donner cut of Superman II).
While doing the press rounds for his newest film "The Wolfman," which opens in theaters this Friday, director Joe Johnston obviously knew he was going to be bombarded with questions regarding his next film.

A guy with Johnston's impressive resume, which includes directing "Jurassic Park III" and "Jumanji" and doing visual effects work on the original "cc trilogy and "Raiders of the Lost Ark," knows you don't sign on to helm a movie like "Captain America" without the expectation of being asked about it at every possible opportunity. It's a pretty safe bet the nuggets of information released during his batch of interviews were carefully screened and selected tidbits meant to whet the appetite of anxious fanboys. An amuse-bouche, if you will
You couldn't do a modern-day Captain America," Johnston said, "and then go back and tell the World War II origin story."

The film will be bookended with scenes set in the present day that presumably will set the stage for "The Avengers" movie.

"That's the way this story ends. [Cap] is...at the end of this film, he's been brought back and been unfrozen, revived and he is definitely a fish out of water. He's a 1942 guy in 2012...it's going to be a lot of fun."

The Onside Kick, Tracy Porter’s Haircut, and the Saints Cheerleaders:Super Bowl Musings and Tracy Porter’s Hair Cut PHOTOS!

,
Left to right: Pick-six hero Tracy Porter shaved the Dome onto the back of his head, Drew Brees kisses his wife, Saints cheerleaders are giddy, and Drew Brees hoists his kid into the confetti-strewn air.

Sean Payton coached a brilliant game. He said he came up with the idea for the onside kick at halftime. Wonder if this is something he’d been planning for two weeks. A reach? Perhaps. Hear us out:

1) Payton took the ball first. The Ravens and Jets, which have better defenses, gave Indy the ball first. If you come into the game thinking you might drop an onside kick to open the 2nd half, you obviously take the ball first.

PHOTOS! Here again are pictures oft Tracy Porter’s Super Bowl hair cut. Saints’ Tracy Porter Super Bowl hair was covered on LALATE in the 2nd quarter Sunday. The Lombardi Trophy hair cut followed up a Pacman cut (above) just weeks before. By the 2nd half, Porter delivered one of the best plays ofSuper Bowl 2010.

In the end, Porter’s hair predicted it right.

large in spotlight Tim Tebow’s ego grows and What was your favorite commercial?

Former Florida Gator Tim Tebow is fast, powerful and makes a great deal of noise — and he has had his fair share of publicity. Whether he is crying on national television or nuzzling coach Urban Meyer, the nation is fascinated by him.

However, many of us have had enough of the controversy over Tim Tebow’s much-anticipated Super Bowl ad Sunday night and his unending off-field commentary.
Did your favorite win?

No, silly, not the New Orleans Saints (who did win) nor the Indianapolis Colts (who did not). We're talking about the important stuff for this morning's coffee-break gabfest. Who produced the best commercial for Super Bowl XLIV?

Was it one of the annual powers such as Budweiser, Doritos or GoDaddy.com? Or did an underdog sneak to the top, such as 2009's "Crazy Pets" spot for Pedigree Food For Dogs -- its first attempt at cashing in on Super Bowl fame.
The most pregame hype went to Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam, for their 32-second statement on abortion. The controversy was that the (actually quite subtle and, truthfully, a little cheap-looking) message was against abortion, as Pam Tebow had been advised by some physicians to have an abortion to protect her health. She (and all Florida Gators) were glad she chose to give birth. Tim Tebow made it clear that he was happy, too.
