Robert Rodriguez's SHORTS? Plus news on GI JOE, WOLVERINE, THE BOX, BRUNO and more!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. There's a fantastic article up at Variety that details all the flicks that the studios have gotten ready pre-strike. So, there's a detailed list of what the big flicks are at all the big studios that are sure things, not effected by this strike. CLICK HERE TO READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE! The bullet hits are: -GI JOE is a go at Paramount with Stuart Beattie's script and AVATAR's Sam Worthington the likely lead (sorry AB King, no mention of Sly involved... so you don't need to send email 4873 saying he should be... okay?). -Robert Rodriguez has a mystery project called SHORTS (maybe a short film compilation ala FOUR ROOMS? Just a guess) at Media Rights Capital. -Media Rights Capital is also funding Richard Kelly's The Box, Sacha Baron Cohen's BRUNO and Ricky Gervais' THIS SIDE OF TRUTH, although only BRUNO has studio distribution through Universal. -Land of the Lost, State of Play, Death Race remake and The Wolfman are among those that made the cut at Universal. -Wolverine is locked and loaded at Fox, with a rewrite from Jamie Vanderbilt and Scott Silver. May 2009 release. There are more, but those were the big ones. Be sure to read the Variety article! Seems like Sam Worthington is going to be a pretty big player in the future of geek flicks, doesn't it?
