Tough news, Dragonball fans:

James Marsters, who plays the villainous Lord Piccolo in the live-action version of the anime series Dragonball, recently told the Japanese magazine Jump Square that there are plenty of changes in store for fans of the original show.

"Definitely the story of this movie is different from the original, said the actor. "But it’s a necessary change because we need to condense the long story of the original for a movie."

Another bad sign for the Dragonball purists is Marsters' admission that "some characters in the original don’t appear in the movie... Though there are differences between the two, I think it is all right if the core part of Dragonball remains."

Do you agree, readers? Are you looking forward to this big screen adaption?

It’s the end of the world as he knows it, and Woody Harrelson feels just fine, the veteran actor laughed, revealing exclusively to MTV News that he has a starring role in Roland Emmerich’s apocalyptic “2012,” which he will begin shooting shortly in Vancouver.

“I don’t know why they thought of me,” Harrelson chuckled. “But I like the idea.”

It’s an idea that we have thanks to the Mayans, who predicted the world would end on December 21, 2012, taking with it everything we know and love up to and including time itself. That means earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, the end of days. Believe it, said Harrelson - even if in no one else does, confessing that his character is a sort of modern version of the Greek Cassandra, a prophet nobody believes.

“I play a guy who’s been talking for a long time, the whole world thinks he’s crazy,” Harrelson said of his character. “But he’s been talking that there’s gonna be hell to pay for what’s been going on ecologically and everything.”

Also starring John Cusack, Danny Glover, and Amanda Peet, “2012” heralds the apocalypse a bit early, hitting theaters in 2009.

What do you think of Harrelson taking a role in “2012”? Excited for the movie? Sound off on your thoughts below.

It's safe to say movie goers can't get enough news from the cast of The Dark Knight.

With that said, here's another interview with Aaron Eckhart. The actor that plays Harvey Dent/Two-Face in the film recently spoke to The Wall Street Journal. Here are highlights:

WSJ: When you're acting in a comic-book movie opposite a guy wearing a caped costume, is it hard to resist going over the top?
Eckhart: I took a day or two to look around and see what everyone else was up to. Sometimes you're not sure what the tone of the movie is, especially if you have to be acting with the Batman or the Joker. Heath really set the tone of the film and how dark it was. Still, there were a lot of questions. How big do I go? Do we play it for laughs?

WSJ: Even if Heath Ledger hadn't died, people would be talking about his performance. What signs did you see that something special was coming from him?
Eckhart: I saw it the first time he started reading. Heath had gone to the wall to be in the picture. We'd have to do makeup at the same time, and he would really use that time to get into the character and do the voices. Everyone was aware of what Heath was doing. When Gary Oldman is paying attention, you know that something special is happening.

As the big screen adaption of Where the Wild Things Are continues to face trouble, The Los Angeles Times spoke to Warner Brothers President Alan Horn to go on the record about the troubled project, specifically director Spike Jonze's efforts to make it work.

"We've given him more money and, even more importantly, more time for him to work on the film," Horn told the newspaper.

Horn continued:

"We'd like to find a common ground that represents Spike's vision, but still offers a film that really delivers for a broad-based audience. We obviously still have a challenge on our hands. But I wouldn't call it a problem, simply a challenge. No one wants to turn this into a bland, sanitized studio movie. This is a very special piece of material and we're just trying to get it right."

Where the Wild Things Are, of course, is based on the wildly popular children's book by Maurice Sendak.

As previously reported, Mike White has finished and turned in the script for a School of Rock sequel. Now, it sounds as though Paramount Pictures liked what it saw.

According to Variety, the studio is moving forward with the follow-up that has Jack Black reprising his role as rock star wannabe/substitute teacher Dewey Finn.

The sequel already has a tentative title: School of Rock 2: America Rocks. Reportedly, it picks up with Finn leading a group of summer school students on a cross-country field trip that delves into the history of rock 'n' roll and explores the roots of blues, rap, country and other genres.

The original School of Rock was a box office smash for the studio, costing just $30 million to make and earning $131 million worldwide.
