Writer/director Cameron Crowe exclusively told High Noon he is putting the final touches to his next feature project, Elizabethtown. Cameras will roll in January for the romantic comedy, which stars Spider-Man's Kirsten Dunst and Demi Moore's toyboy Ashton Kutcher.

Crowe tells us: "I think they're both playing slightly different characters than they usually play. Ashton's playing a kind of an introspective, poetic guy who's experienced great loss in his family. Kirsten's a working class woman who's looking to find a little magic in the world. The two of them find each other and surprisingly, despite a tragedy that's happening around them, they find out how important and fun life can be. I just think it will be surprising and funny and a world to get lost in. That's my favorite thing in movies, when you just kind of get lost in a whole other land. So wish me luck!" Er, good luck Cameron...

Nostalgic TV series turned into movie #788974: Dimension Films, the Miramax off-shoot that's produced, among others, the Scream and Spy Kids franchises, is gathering the best doctors in the country (cheap writers, we mean) to bring The Six Million Dollar Man TV series back to life.

The show starred Lee Majors as crash-victim astronaut Steve Austen, "a man barely alive", who is put back together with bionic legs, arm, and eye, enabling him to run, jump, lift, and, er, see, better than everyone else. He then becomes a handy government agent righting wrongs. Dimension believes the perfect duo to bring the robot-fest to the screen would be Jim Carrey in the title role and director Todd Phillips, who's currently finishing off another TV classic, Starsky & Hutch.

Little know fact: Sandra Bullock played a bionic teenager in the 80s TV movie Bionic Showdown: The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman. She probably won't be in the Carrey caper but she will be returning in a sequel to Miss Congeniality. The Hollywood Reporter, in a stunning revelation, announced: "Marc Lawrence has written a script centering on Bullock's character, Special Agent Gracie Hart". High Noon says well done to Lawrence for managing this difficult aspect of the screenplay...

Matrix star Laurence Fishburne pulled "a Russell Crowe" at the press day for The Matrix Revolutions by refusing to talk to Internet journalists. As reported previously on this very site, Russell Crowe has banned the entire world wide web from even whispering the name of his new film, Master And Commander.

It's obviously catching. Despite being scheduled to do interviews with online reporters, Fishburne bailed on the journos who'd turned up to interview him. He surprised Warner Bros staff by telling them he wouldn't talk to online reporters just seconds before he was due to start. He then took the red pill and disappeared up his own arse (we reckon). Meanwhile, Matrix maestros Andy and Larry Wachowski are turning to the internet to keep The Matrix alive by developing a game incorporating themes from the films to go online next summer. Don't expect good navigation...

...You're not singing anymore. In fact, you're laughing. At the news that Elijah "The weedy one in Lord Of The Rings" Wood is to star in "Hooligan" - a drama (get this) about footy thugs in Britain.

He'll play a disgraced Harvard undergraduate who moves to London and is inducted into hooliganism by the sculpted, self-possessed blonde kid from Nicholas Nickleby (Charlie Hunnam). And the award for funniest/thickest movie idea goes to...
