Hollywood Goes Green

It has been reported that Ryan Reynolds has now been cast as the DC Universe's most popular Green Lantern: Hal Jordan, in the live-action film.
The big budget epic is expected to begin production in January.
Apparently, Warner Bros. chose Reynolds, over Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) and Jared Leto (Requiem for a Dream). The momentum built for Reynolds in the last week, as he was the only actor whose option was extended.

Hari Puttar: India’s Harry Potter is Home Alone

Although the name sounds similar to the world famous Harry Potter character, that is where the similarities end.
“Hari Puttar” tells of a 10 year-old boy who moved from India to England with his family. Feeling a little depressed and unwanted, Hari looks to his fantasy world friend Funtoon to help cheer him up. A family trip is planned and the family leaves in the morning in such a hurry that Hari is left behind.
Burglars decide to try to steal from the house and Hari, who was left behind with his cousin, decides to protect their valuables.
This “Home Alone” and “Harry Potter” mashup has angered many fans as well as Warner Brothers, who has decided to sue to stop the release of the movie.
Update: Warner Bros. lose suit...
