Luna Lovegood Is This Girl
Warner Bros. has released some kind of Harry Potter senior picture of new cast member Evanna Lynch, recently chosen to play Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Still no word on when we'll see the shot where she's with a golden retriever, holding her saxophone.
A lot of the time, I worry what will happen to these child stars after their first role, but something tells me "Luna Lovegood" will be all right. And I'll tell her that when I see her stripping in four years.

Lucas Walks Into Alfred Hitchcock Profile
Matt Lucas, star of the British series Little Britain, will reportedly star as Alfred Hitchcock in a film with Ewan McGregor that traces the director's early life. I must say, after seeing his picture, I can't imagine someone casting him as anything other than Alfred Hitchcock. Except maybe as one of those little mutant men living in New York's sewers.
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
The sequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has been green lit and Andrew Adamson has been set to direct. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was officially announced yesterday and, considering the first has made $637.8 million worldwide so far, it's not surprising that they got the same director to work his magic again. The sequel will begin production this year and is shooting for a Christmas 2007 release. Although there's still no word on if they took my advice and decided to include a naked fairy sex scene. That's how you really get those butts into theaters these days. Naked fairy sex.
Lisa Loeb wears a bra
I'm going to be honest with you, I've never seen a single episode of #1 Single. Apparently it's about Lisa Loeb and it may or may not feature actual footage of her wearing clothes. Considering what I have seen, I'm leaning towards 'may not.'
Some more after the jump.
Harry Osborn's Role In Spider-Man 3
Over at IESB, an apparently reliable source has delivered a scoop about Harry Osborn's role in Spider-Man 3. So if you care about plot, and surprises and things, don't read this:
All the assumptions that Harry Osborn is the third villain the Hobgoblin are all wrong. Spiderman finds himself out numbered in this one. When everything seems to be at its worst for our hero, he finds himself an unlikely ally, Harry Osborn. We will see Harry battling his inner demons to make the choice between his father's legacy and his best friend.
This would seem to contradict the report last month that James Franco would be wearing make-up and appliances in his role, presumably as a villain. Unless instead of Goblin makeup, he just puts on random make-up and appliances when saving Spider-Man, which would make no sense.
I do, however, think that wearing random make-up would be a good idea for police and firemen saving people. That way, even if you're stuck in a burning building, afterwards you have a good story about how you were rescued by Richard Nixon and Dracula.
Dark Crystal Sequel In The Works
The Jim Henson Company has announced that Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Samurai Jack and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, will direct a sequel to the 1982 fantasy puppet film, The Dark Crystal. The second chapter, titled Power of the Dark Crystal, will take place hundreds of years after the original, following a mysterious girl made of fire who steals a shard of the crystal, hoping to use it to re-ignite the dying sun. I don't know how they're planning on showing this film takes place hundreds of years after the first, but I'd recommend talking to Keith Richards, who's done a stellar job of appearing hundreds of years older.
But you know who's not looking older? That hot female Muppet from the first Dark Crystal. She's still looking like Gwyneth Paltrow hybrid with a cat, which it turns out is exactly what I go for.
