"Hitman 2"

The news- Spanish helmer Daniel Benmayor is set to direct "Hitman 2" for 20th Century Fox although at this point it is unclear as to whether or not Timothy Olyphant will return as the bald assassin for another go 'round after the first film, which earned around $100 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. I consider the film to be a failed video game adaptation, so I don't know what to think about a sequel yet.

"Mass Effect"

The news - "Mass Effect" is probably my favorite Xbox 360 (I'm a sucker for RPGs and it is a great game), yet I'm not jumping for joy about a film adaptation...yet. Legendary Pictures, which will produce the project for Warner Bros, is in discussions with Mark Protosevich ("I Am Legend," "Thor") to draft a screenplay.

"Captain America: The First Avenger"

The news - Dominic Cooper ("An Education") is cast as Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark, for "Captain America." We got to see some of Howard Stark in the recent "Iron Man 2" played by John Slattery, but Cooper will be playing a younger version of the character and will most likely be working with Nick Fury in the film set during WWII.
