Read in today's Sydney Sunday Telegraph that Warner Bros has delayed the release of the next Harry Potter movie Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, based on the sixth book in the series, from November this year to July next year.

Earlier this year it was announced that the movie version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows based on the seventh and final in the book series will be divided into two parts. Part 1 will be released in November 2010 and Part 2 in May 2011.

All three films have been or will be directed by David Yates.

I have read that Johnny Depp has signed on to play Tonto in a new Lone Ranger movie. George Clooney is in talks to play the Lone Ranger.

Johnny Depp has also signed on to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a fourth Pirates of the Carribean movie.

I take it there are no Native American actors who can play Tonto.

Terrance Howard has been dropped from Iron Man 2 because apparently he was asking for too much money.

He has been replaced as Jim Rhodes by Don Cheadle, his co-star in Crash.

Kenneth Branagh will direct the film version of Thor.

He accepted the assignment as he withdrew from directing in his West End production of Hamlet:

"Branagh has been forced to withdraw [from Hamlet] due to commitments to a new film based on the Marvel comic book character Thor."
