A new writer has been hired to pen Angry Birds, the animated 3D movie version of the hit Rovio mobile game phenomenon that involves agitated avians dropping aerial attacks on a group of rival pigs.

Sony Pictures Animation has brought in Jon Vitti to write the script for Angry Birds, which is still years away from its scheduled July 1, 2016 release date.

Most people stopped paying attention to updates related to Ghostbusters 3 a long time ago, including us. Until we see some actual movement on the movie and not just talk, it’s just not worth it.

That said, news has been a tad slow, so why not do a quick update on a couple of long coming movies: the above mentioned Ghostbusters 3, and the remake of Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg’s 1982 horror classic, Poltergeist.

We just saw a brief teaser trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins, the prequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, in which Batman is squaring off with Deathstroke. Now comes the first full trailer, and it is awesome.

The trailer is a cinematic, and runs almost five minutes in length as Batman basically finds himself in a Smokin’ Aces situation one Christmas Eve. The game’s primary antagonist, Black Mask, has brought in some of the world’s deadliest assassins to try and dispatch of the Dark Knight, including Deathstroke and Deadshot.

Last month a clip from the hit show Parks and Recreation was released, in which Patton Oswalt attempts a filibuster to prevent a city council vote. Producers of the show told the actor to ramble on about something, and so Oswalt decided to ad-lib his way through his character’s vision for the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII.

Naturally the video became quite popular on the ‘net, opening the door for different takes and variations. Which brings us to today and a new video, which turns Oswalt’s speech into an semi-animated version showing what some of his ideas might look like.
