Transformers 4 Release Date
The fourth installment of the Transformers movies has been in the planning stages since the end of Dark of the Moon. Michael Bays original contract was over and he ended the series so nobody else could continue what he started. Little did he expect to be back for a fourth.
The fourth movie is going to be a cross between a reboot and a sequel, it will have the surviving characters with a new story. Cybertron has now been destroyed and the Decepticons have nothing left to fight for.
The current rumor is the next movies will feature the rebirth of the Decepticons and introduction of Unicron.

How to Be the Photograph
There was reason to expect some personal revelations when the musician and writer Patti Smith took the stage at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on a Friday evening in early December. She was there to talk about Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz, the photographer and indefatigable promoter of modern art whom O’Keeffe married in 1924. An exhibition upstairs in the Tisch Galleries—showcasing the works of art that O’Keeffe had selected from Stieglitz’s private collection and given to the Met in 1949, including some of his erotic photographic portraits of O’Keeffe herself—was the immediate occasion for Smith’s appearance, along with the publication of the first volume of letters by O’Keeffe and Stieglitz, which Smith carried onto the stage like a bible, festooned with yellow Post-it notes.
EXCLUSIVE CLIP: Angela Bassett and Loretta Devine Reunite In ‘Jumping The Broom’
A true reunion is in full swing when two of ‘Waiting to Exhale’s favorite divas — Angela Bassett and Loretta Devine – come together during an early scene of the Bishop T.D. Jakes-produced romantic comedy, ‘Jumping The Broom,’ which hits theaters May 6. In the film — directed by Salim Akil (‘Girlfriends,”The Game’), Paula Patton plays a well-to-do corporate executive who has had no luck finding the right man. Laz Alonso‘s sharp and debonair Brooklynite-turned-Wall Street VP may be the answers to her prayers — literally (she made a promise to God to not sleep with another man until she’s married).

Red Skull in the Avengers
With the script being leaked and the film being so close to being released it would look highly unlikely the Avengers movie could have any secrets.
We last saw the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) at the end of Captain America : The First Avenger where he mysteriously gets teleported out of the crashing plane leaving Steve Rogers in the ice. Undoubtedly to return in one of the later Marvel movies.
From the current set of rumors it looks like the Red Skull will appear in the Avengers, this time not after just a cosmic cube to rule the world but the Infinity Gauntlet of Thanos with the power to rule the universe.
The rumor comes from a recent listing from HeroClix
