Not everyone looks good with a pasty complexion and some canine dental issues, but it’s all good when you’re playing a vampire.

You might think R-Pattz has the market cornered but before he came along with his sparkly skin and whatnot, my favourite sexy vamp was Stephen Dorff’s Deacon Frost in Blade.

After that, I really thought we’d see Dorff taking on the big roles for years to come, but somehow he got lost in a cinematic wilderness and ended up making a string of duds. But now, according to Variety, he’s signed on for Tarsem Singh’s War of The Gods and Hollywood might remember who he is.

Dorff will be playing master thief Stavros that will help Theseus defeat the ancient Titans from taking over power from the Greek Gods.

He’ll be joining Twilight star Kellan Lutz in the Greek war epic. Slumdog Millionaire beauty Freida Pinto and Iron Man 2’s Mickey Rourke will also star.

The House Bunny and Scary Movie star Anna Faris has signed up for Private Benjamin, a remake of the Goldie Hawn classic comedy.

Risky Business Blog reports that Faris will take on the title role in a modern re-telling of the original. The movie follows a high society woman who joins the army after her husband dies on their wedding night during sex.

The character was never a dumb blonde, something Faris is used to playing, but more of a fish-out-of-water, having no idea what army life would be like.

Private Benjamin will be the second Goldie Hawn movie remake announced this month after I previously reported that Jennifer Lopez will appear in an Overboard revamp.

New Line is behind the movie and is apparently keen to dig into the goldmine that is 80s cinema for remakes; they’re also going to be giving new life to Vacation and Police Academy.

Does Anna have the chops to carry this off though? Underneath the madcap comedy routines she’s used, to there’s actually a good actress but she’ll have a way to go before she can top Goldie. Private Benjamin may have earned itself three Oscar nominations but I don’t have high hopes for the remake.

Chuck Dixon is set to pen a miniseries comic to accompany Sylvester Stallone’s action flick The Expendables.

There will be four issues in the series and will follow the same characters that appear in the movie. Dixon’s previous work includes Batman, Conan and The Green Arrow characters so he’s well versed in tough guys and heroics.

Dixon told Newsarama,

“The Expendables is a collection of professional soldiers who share a history of dangerous military adventures. In the great tradition of these kinds of the stories, each of the guys has a specialty. Martial arts, handguns, explosives etc… This limited series is a prequel that shows them on an earlier adventure. Lots of violence committed by guys who, while not morally ambivalent, they are certainly morally expedient. The restraints are off a bit more here. The action more bloody. The settings more realistic.”

When asked what his favourite image is from the comics, Dixon replied,

“Mickey Rourke, by himself, fighting a small army of thugs sent to kill him by a Mexican drug cartel.”

Screw the comic, I want to see that on the big screen!

I don’t to get my hopes up just yet but I thought you ought to know that there are conversations going on right now about a possible 3D conversion for all of the Harry Potter movies.

And I’d only just calmed down from hearing that the Deathly Hallows will be in an extra dimension. I must stress that it is NOT confirmed that we’re getting a completely 3D series, but it’s a possibility.

MTV spoke to Potter producer David Heyman about a 3D conversion.

Those discussions haven’t yet happened, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time. You know what? I actually shouldn’t say that. Who knows? It would be great. You can never tell. I hope so.

Well that gives us a 50/50 chance, right? Not everyone is jazzed about the constant 3D conversions of movies but come on, wouldn’t you want to see the Basilisk from The Chamber of Secrets in 3D? Or the Triwizard tournament tasks from The Goblet of Fire?

Admittedly, the CGI effects in the first few movies weren’t amazing and could do with a touch up but still, it would be cool to have all the movies in 3D.

On converting the Deathly Hallows Part I, Heyman seems confident that it’ll look fantastic in 3D.

Frankly, we are still in the process of discussing methodology, but clearly one of the advantages we have is that we have quite a long time before the release of the film. So we have quite a lot of time to work and hone and hopefully perfect each and every sequence. We are not on a compressed schedule. This is something that was built-in very early on, and we think we will achieve the very best quality we can.

If you’re wondering why they didn’t shoot in 3D in the first place then Heyman’s got the answer.

I think that there’s no question that shooting a film in 3-D is a great thing. I think it was just impractical.

It would have taken much, much too long. Shooting in 3-D is slower. Some people say shooting in 3-D is the only way to go, and some people are more open to the other. It’ll be interesting as it develops to see whether shooting in 3-D becomes the norm or not, because clearly it’s more expensive, partly because shooting takes longer.
