Thanks to the magic of Twitter, Jon Favreau once again offered an "Iron Man 2" filming location report today as another business week kicked into gear in Hollywood, and on the Twitter-Wood feed as well. In addition to getting to know some film preferences from Nicole Richie and Meagan Good, Alyssa Milano chimed in with her favorite post-workout menu item, and Rainn Wilson showed off a pictures of his dog.

As usual, the feed today proved to be a smorgasbord of celeb show-and-tell with a few behind-the-scenes tips, and a lot of information you never would have picked up elsewhere, such as how Frankie Muniz feels about the city of Newark and which part of Mandy Moore's body hurt after a busy morning. I'm @brianwarmoth and this is Twitter-Wood for June 15, 2009. Read more...

FROM HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: Last week, reports surfaced that “Twilight” star Cam Gigandet would be playing a vampire on screen again in a live-action adaptation of “Priest,” a popular manga series published by TokyoPop.

But hold the phone, “Twilight” fans, it appears that tales of his blood-sucking role have been greatly exaggerated. During a press event for his upcoming film “The Roommate,” the actor said there’s been a slight misunderstanding when it comes to his “Priest” character.

The headline is 100% true. Problem is, David Cross just isn't talking. Oh sure, he'll happily drop hints and suggestive comments, but he's leaving any major revelations for series creator Mitch Hurwitz to dish out. I suppose I can respect that. No, I can't. C'mon Cross... dish already!

He had a little bit to say this weekend, when MTV's Josh Horowitz sat down with the edgy comedian at the "Year One" press junket. Nothing particularly revealing mind you; just the same sort of teasing comments to get us excited about an "Arrested Development" movie. Read more...

At this weekend's "Year One" press junket, MTV's Josh Horowitz got to spend some quality time with the always-affable writer/director/ghosbuster Harold Ramis. As most of you probably know, "Ghostbusters 3" has been on the lips of Ramis and his cohort Dan Aykroyd for quite some time.

First they were calling the video game, which releases this week(!), the "official" third "Ghostbusters" movie. Then things went a step further, with the revelation that "Year One" co-writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky are in fact working on the script for a third movie. Read more...

I'll admit, I've sort of had to put "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" out of my head these past several months. The news that its release would be delayed from fall '08 to summer '09 came as a crushing blow to plenty of fans, myself included. Now that we're in summer territory, and "Half-Blood Prince" is mere weeks away, it's time to start getting excited again. The clip premiere at last month's MTV Movie Awards was exciting enough; now we've got a bunch of pictures for you to peruse.

So peruse away, dear Muggles... just click the image below.

Believe it or not young Americans, Roy Rogers is more than just a fast food chain -- he's an icon, too. Though certainly not as prevalent today as he was many moons ago, Rogers was a popular cowboy actor in the '30s, '40s and '50s, and he was one of the biggest box office draws of his time. Now it looks like the King of the Cowboys is hitting the dusty trail once more and riding into the new millennium.

Variety has the story that 821 Entertainment and Roy Rogers Family Entertainment Corp. are planning a film trilogy about Rogers, though it won't be a biopic -- it'll be about the character of Rogers and his supporting cast. Read more...

Remember that time when I said Tony Scott had a full plate? Yeah, I do too. But what I neglected to mention the first go-around is one of Scott's more interesting projects in development -- a sequel to "The Hunger."

The 1983 vampire flick was Scott's directorial debut, and if the "Pelham 123" filmmaker has his way, he'll be returning to the property soon. The best part? It's neither remake, reboot or relaunch -- as it stands, it's directly dependent on the original. Read more...

FROM SPLASH PAGE: How do you make a sequel to a movie in which almost every main character winds up dead? According to one report from a Russian news outlet, “Wanted” director Timur Bekmabetov plans to answer that very question by bringing back Angelina Jolie and possibly others in the next installment.

Bekmabetov told RIA Novosti, a Russian news site, that he’s already begun preparations for “Wanted 2,” a sequel to the 2008 actioneer based on Mark Millar and J.G. Jones’ comic book. According to the site, the director promised the return of Jolie, despite her character’s send-off in the first movie.
