Ben BarnesIt's a question that we can't help but think would please the old theologian himself: Is C.S. Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia" film series dead or isn't it? First, Disney announced in grand fashion that they would film all seven of Lewis's books, with a new one coming out each May. Then the rumors started to swirl like the White Witch: Disney wanted to concentrate elsewhere, they wouldn't commit to any Narnia films after "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader," which would mean three films and no more. Producer Mark Johnson himself recently told a packed crowd at New York Comic-Con that "Treader" would, in fact, be the last voyage.

Cue the Great Aslan. No, better yet, cue one of his patented resurrections.

"There is a list," Johnson revealed to MTV News of a group of dream directors being eyed to bring the fourth Narnia book, "The Silver Chair," to the big-screen. "We have an eye on who might direct." Read more...

'Hard Boiled'It's been called one of the most violent comic books ever created, and now Frank Miller's "Hard Boiled" may finally be seeing its way to the big screen.

At one time developed as a starring vehicle for Nicolas Cage with none other than David Fincher directing, MTV News can exclusively reveal that the acclaimed three-issue miniseries is once again inching closer to a Hollywood reality, this time under the tutelage of "Spirit" producer Deborah Del Prete.

"We're talking about [it]," Miller declared to us at NY Comic Con. "I've got a really unusual way I want to do it." Read more...

"In the future, there was a nuclear war. And because of all the radiation, cats developed the ability to shoot lasers out of their mouths." So begins the story of "Laser Cats," the hilarious "Saturday Night Live" digital short from Bill Hader and Andy Samburg. Its sci-fi premise seems destined for something larger, so when we sat down with Hader at the NY Comic Con, one of our first questions was about the skit's big-screen possibilities.

His response below; for more video interviews from Comic Con -- including chats with the cast/crew of "Hellboy 2," "The Spirit," and "The Incredible Hulk," click here.

'Twilight'"This looks just right."

Our friends at Summit Entertainment premiered a mind-blowing new "Twilight" clip for the lucky crowds at New York's Comic-Con this weekend, featuring that quote from a set-visiting Stephenie Meyer. Quite frankly, we're inclined to agree.

Now, we're passing the clip on to you, along with a warning: For all of you who've memorized every line of the novels, hungered for each tidbit of info you can find on our site, and cursed every month between now and December, please make sure you're sitting down as you press play. Also, a crash helmet might come in handy. (CLICK HERE TO PLAY IT, AND RETURN TO READ THE REST...) Read more...

Hayden Christensen in 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith'If you thought the cantina in Mos Eisley was a "wretched hive of scum and villainy," well you'd better be cautious because an upcoming journey back to the "Star Wars" universe is going to reveal the "greasy, seamy underbelly of 'Star Wars.'"

That's what Steve Sansweet, Lucasfilm's Director of Fan Relations, revealed to MTV News at New York's Comic Con yesterday about the much anticipated live-action "Star Wars" TV show in development. Confirming that the show will "involve some characters we know" along with new creations, Sansweet said the show would be "of epic scale." Read more...

Heath Ledger as the Joker in ''The Dark Knight'Batman has more to deal with than just the Joker in this summer's "The Dark Knight," and now thanks to a top secret new trailer for the film that just screened at NY Comic Con, we’ve gotten our first extended look at his friend and eventual rival, Harvey "Two-Face" Dent.

The brand-new "Dark Knight" trailer was shown to a flabbergasted audience here in New York (Warner Bros. had not announced any plans to show any footage) and though we only got a chance to see it once, there’s an awful lot to chew on in this new glimpse.

- After a breathtaking shot of Batman perched high above Gotham, a voiceover from Heath Ledger’s Joker asks "Where do we begin?" Batman glides through the city. Read more...

'Seth GreenHe traveled to a galaxy far, far away last year when both "Robot Chicken" (which he co-created) and "Family Guy" (where he voices a character) spoofed "Star Wars," but now Seth Green is getting ready to join the actual George Lucas family.

"I did something on that cartoon," Green admitted to us at NY Comic Con, revealing for the first time that the "Buffy" star will be making an appearance in the upcoming "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" animated series. "I came in and did a voice." Read more...

'The X-Files: I Want To Believe' PosterIt was called "The Untitled X-Files Sequel." Then it was simply "The X-Files 2." And finally just a few days ago, the heavily-anticipated return of one of sci-fi's biggest franchises received its final title..."The X-Files: I Want To Believe," taken from the now-famous motto emblazoned across the famous poster in Agent Fox Mulder's office.

But anyone thinking the name doesn't have a deeper meaning is as misguided as the Cigarette Smoking Man.

"The title makes sense because [the poster] was really emblematic of Mulder's faith, and the struggle for his faith," stated series creator Chris Carter during an exclusive interview with MTV News at NY Comic-Con. "He doesn't believe...he wants to believe. So I think that is essentially the story we're telling. It's the story we've always told but in this case I think we really bring it into high focus."
