 Master storyteller, friend and cast member of Comedy Central's Chappelle Show, Charlie Murphy (his brother's name is Eddie), is saying there is no hope left that Dave Chappelle will continue filming the third season of his hit sketch show. For whatever reasons, Chappelle Show is over, bitch. Half of the third season was filmed before Chappelle bugged out.

 Samuel L. Jackson has agreed to produce and star in a live action version of the Japanese manga cartoon, Afrosamurai, created by Takashi Okazaki. The story follows an Afrosamurai roaming the country in search of his father's killer. The film is set to go into production next winter or spring. No word on who will direct. The illustration isn't the actual character from Afrosamurai, but rather, a funny drawing. Meet the real Afro by clicking over.

 A few days ago we reported on the OC's Mischa Barton and her inability to keep her boobs covered in front of cameras. Now Jessica Alba pics a wedgie or possibly digs sand out of her bathing suit and cameras are there to capture the magic on film. During geek news slumps, it's important to enjoy a brief distraction or two from your usual distraction. Link courteousy of Goldenfiddle.com.

 You might have known, or might have guessed, that a film version of the audience pleasing musical (based on Mel Brook's 1968 film) was already in production. Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane star, Uma Thurman and Will Ferrell costar in the film which was shot entirely on sound stages in New York city last spring. USA Today scored a set visit and talks movie musicals with the cast.

 Yep. It's remake city over in Hollywood and Nicole Kidman has signed on to star in Invasion, a remake of the classic, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Get ready for the word "Pod" to take on a whole new annoying commercial connotation. Art house director Oliver Hirschbiegel (the acclaimed foreign Hitler flick, Downfall), will direct.

  There's a new Zorro flick coming out and we can help but wonder why. No really, why? It stars Antonio Banderas (shocker) and Catherine Zeta Jones (must have been a huge check). And Terry Gilliam's, Brothers Grimm, has a new "international" trailer.

 According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Dukes of Hazzards flick, starring Johnny Knoxville, Jessica Simpson and that other guy, sucks. Not that you didn't already know that from seeing the bad trailers or reading all of the bad reviews that have been online for a few months. Read the Hollywood Reporter review to see how bad it sucks.

 Sure it's been online for almost a week, but that doesn't change the fact that some of you probably haven't seen it for the second and/or third time yet. For those of you who don't know, Serenity is the film version of Joss Whedon's short-lived show, Firefly. Whedon directs the feature. Dig it.

 Awh snap! Just when you thought there was more X3 hate, Superman Returns love, or Fantastic Four bashing to be had, out pops a famous boob to change things up a bit and remind us that boobs can be just as exciting as comic book adaptations and new trailers. The OC's Mischa Barton can now be added to that nutty bunch of boob slipping celebs.

  Bret "Bitch" Ratner has cast little known actress, Ellen Page in the role of Kitty Pryde in X-Men 3. ?The Pryde role was to supposed to have gone to Lost's Maggie Grace, but Ratner put a stop that good idea before it became a reality. X-Men 3 has been shooting in Vancouver and San Francisco over the past week and geeks believe that means a teaser trailer for the Thanksgiving holiday season is in the works. Actual shooting begins in August.

 A decent looking trailer for the remake of John Carpenter's The Fog, has surfaced, then disappeared, then re-surfaced online for the past week or so. Seems like it's here to stay (for now). It stars Smallville's Tom Welling and Lost's Maggie Grace. It opens this fall.

  Rumor Has It, has a history. ?It used to be the untitled quasi-sequel to the 60's classic, The Graduate. ?Weeks into production, the original director, Ted Griffin (writer, Oceans 11), was fired and softball director Rob Reiner (Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle) was brought in. ?Zathura is a quasi-sequel to that favorite flick of your mother's, Jumanji.

 Filmforce has the first-look DOOM teaser trailer that premiered at the 2005 Comic Con a few weekends ago. ?Doom stars Dwayne "The Roc" Johnson and opens this fall and looks damn lame. Does anyone in Hollywood remember the Alien franchise? ?Or, in the case against the idea that video games make good feature-length movies, does anyone in Hollywood remember the Super Mario Brothers movie? That flick was wack beyond recognition.

 Superman Homepage.com has on-set pics of Kevin Spacey and Parker Posey from Superman Returns. Both Posey and Spacey look great. Be warned, Superman Homepage is getting hammered with hits at the moment.
