Sure, we miss Matt Damon… but they couldn't have picked a better replacement!!

Our love affair with Jeremy Renner and how awesome he is has been growing exponentially as time passes, so we're so glad to see him here in proper ass-kicking form for the new flick in the Bourne series: The Bourne Legacy!!

Check it out above and tell us that it doesn't look completely rad!

Plus as an added bonus we also get Edward Norton, Albert Finney, and Rachel Weisz!!

We've been waiting for this for like TWO YEARS!!

Check out the INcredible trailer for Wes Anderson's next flick: Moonrise Kingdom!

Looks like classic Wes Anderson, but with some inneresting casting choices! So excited to see how Bruce Willis and Edward Norton do!!

Watch it above!

PS — We love Roman Coppola (who writes with Wes)! When will he ever follow up directing CQ??

Good choice!

Last we heard about the upcoming Bourne movie, Jeremy Renner was cast as the new lead, and Rachel Weisz was up for the role of the next Bourne girl!

Now, both Renner and Weisz are confirmed for the movie, and Ed Norton is in negotiations to play the bad guy.

Ed is always at his best when he taps into his dark side in movies, such as American History X and Fight Club, so we def think he'd be great in this role. Let's hope he gets it!

What do U think about all the Bourne casting choices? Do U agree with them?

Whoops! Were you supposed to spill those romantic beans, girl? We think not!

While attending an event in NYC, Courtney Love announced to sources that she was happy to hear that Ed Norton had finally popped the question to his girlfriend of six years, film producer Shauna Robertson. Thing is, until she mentioned, no one had known anything about it, but it didn't stop her from sharing her thoughts on her former fiance's upcoming nuptials. He revealed that Ed asked Shauna to marry him three weeks ago while the pair traveled to India and Courtney insisted that they better get started on growing their family not that they are official. She explained:

"Wow, it's about time. He's 41, they've been together for six years. He needs to have babies. I wonder what kind of ring he got her? He bought me a ruby."

Rubies are nice…diamonds are forever! Hopefully, that's what will be dangling on her finger when the duo clear up this little announcement for Court's.

Though the moment might be spoiled, we're still really happy for them. Congrats, you two! Live long and happily together!

We'll be interested to see how this goes!

Mark Ruffalo will be playing The Hulk in the upcoming Avengers movie and he opened up about starring in one of the most highly anticipated comic book movies to date! Here are some HIGHlights:

On being introduced at Comic-Con:

"It was very exciting — and I realized I had some pretty big shoes to fill. Those were my heroes up there! I was a comic book fan growing up. I loved The Hulk and The Avengers — it’s just strange to be entering that world as an actor. I never would have imagined that before.

"I was very, very nervous. I didn’t know what to expect. That’s as close you’re going to get to being a rock star as an actor. The fans — they have very strong feelings toward their comic book heroes."

On Bruce Banner, The Hulk's human alter ego:

"He’s a guy struggling with two sides of himself — the dark and the light — and everything he does in his life is filtered through issues of control. I grew up on the Bill Bixby TV series, which I thought was a really nuanced and real human way to look at The Hulk. I like that the part has those qualities."

On Marvel's split with Ed Norton:

"I’m a friend of Ed’s, and yeah, that wasn’t a great way for all that to go down. But the way I see it is that Ed has bequeathed this part to me. I look at it as my generation’s Hamlet."

We wonder if Ed feels the same way!

Are U looking forward to seeing Mark as The Hulk?

Seriously?

Mark Ruffalo is supposedly in talks to take on the role of The Hulk in the upcoming Avengers film now that Ed Norton is out of the picture.

We don't really see it, but he's a pretty good actor so maybe he could pull it off!

Thoughts??

Wowsa!

Marvel Studios and actor Ed Norton are going at it after the studio announced the actor wouldn't be reprising his role of The Hulk in the upcoming film The Avengers!

Marvel's president of production Kevin Feige released the following statement:

“We have made the decision to not bring Ed Norton back to portray the title role of Bruce Banner in The Avengers. Our decision is definitely not one based on monetary factors, but instead rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members.

"The Avengers demands players who thrive working as part of an ensemble, as evidenced by Robert, Chris H, Chris E, Sam, Scarlett, and all of our talented casts. We are looking to announce a name actor who fulfills these requirements, and is passionate about the iconic role in the coming weeks.”

Talk about insulting! Ed's rep responded to Feige to tell his side of the story:

“This offensive statement from Kevin Feige at Marvel is a purposefully misleading, inappropriate attempt to paint our client in a negative light. Here are the facts: two months ago, Kevin called me and said he wanted Edward to reprise the role of Bruce Banner in ‘The Avengers.’ He told me it would be his fantasy to bring Edward on stage with the rest of the cast at [Comic-Con] and make it the event of the convention. When I said that Edward was definitely open to this idea, Kevin was very excited and we agreed that Edward should meet with [director] Joss Whedon to discuss the project. Edward and Joss had a very good meeting (confirmed by Feige to me) at which Edward said he was enthusiastic at the prospect of being a part of the ensemble cast.

“Marvel subsequently made him a financial offer to be in the film and both sides started negotiating in good faith. This past Wednesday, after several weeks of civil, uncontentious discussions, but before we had come to terms on a deal, a representative from Marvel called to say they had decided to go in another direction with the part. This seemed to us to be a financial decision but, whatever the case, it is completely their prerogative, and we accepted their decision with no hard feelings… We know a lot of fans have voiced their public disappointment with this result, but this is no excuse for Feige’s mean spirited, accusatory comments. Counter to what Kevin implies here, Edward was looking forward to the opportunity to work with Joss and the other actors in the Avengers cast, many of whom are personal friends of his. Feige’s statement is unprofessional, disingenuous and clearly defamatory. Mr. Norton talent, tireless work ethic and professional integrity deserve more respect, and so do Marvel’s fans.”

We're siding with Ed on this one — that comment from Marvel was pretty unnecessary!

But The Hulk bombed anyway, so why bother reprising the role?

What do U think?

Courtney Love has decided to take a break from hating on Lily Allen and turn her focus on ex-boyfriend Ed Norton.

The Tweets are a tad hard to decipher, so the best we can do is to guess that she thinks Ed owes her $300,000 and she has every intention of getting the FBI involved if he doesn't give her the money.

There is also something in there about Brad Pitt, Enron, and "Thirsday."

Bless her heart!
