If you did not know that Sony Pictures is working towards the production of a brand new He-Man movie, then you obviously are not one of the 462 supporters of the Change.org petition to have a new Masters of the Universe movie be put into production.

We previously showcased and discussed the radically weird costume concepts developed for Tim Burton's aborted Superman Lives project, which was -- for Rao knows what re

Those saddened by the Spider-Man film franchise's seeming loss of Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane needn't weep. The actress remains busy singing and dancing...in a blue wig and sailor outfit. Gamma Squad caught the actress' latest project, which was directed by McG of "Terminator Salvation" shame (and "Supernatural" fame) as part of Tate Gallery in London's "Pop Life" exhi
