Now it’s time for the real pirates of the Caribbean. DreamWorks will make a biopic about the legendary pirate Blackbeard. The guy who wrote Gladiator is scripting.

When there is no more room in hell, the dead will be in 3-D!!!!!! George Romero’s masterpiece Dawn of the Dead will be re-released in 3-D. In-Three, the company that is giving Star Wars the same treatment, will dimensionalize the flick.

Dorian Gray has found another way to be eternal: make movies. Ben Barnes, the British thespian who plays the titular monarch in Prince Caspian, will star as Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde’s hedonistic protagonist who never ages. The character has recently appeared on screen in the terrible League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and two movies titled The Picture of Dorian Gray.

If you’ll be in Manhattan, Parsippany, N.J. or Long Island this Wednesday, you can catch the Mets-Braves game in HD in cineplexes. T-shirts will be thrown into the stands and Mr. Met will make an appearance to help mimic the feel of a baseball game.

John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor will star in Roland Emmerich’s 2012. It should surprise no one that this is an apocalyptic thriller; Emmerich doesn’t really make anything else. His last film, 10,000 B.C., was a critical and commercial failure. 2012 will revolve around a series of natural disasters that correspond with the end of the Mayan calendar and the heroes that fight to survive them.
