Even though the film only has a director and one actor confirmed so far, has no finished script and hasn’t even started shooting, it already has a release date locked down. To what lucky film am I referring?

According to Variety, it’s the next chapter in the Terminator saga, known by the rather long title Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. The film, helmed by Charlie’s Angels‘ McG and starring Batman Begins‘ Christian Bale, has now become Warner Brothers "tentpole" Memorial Day weekend release hitting theaters on May 22nd, 2009. It will be the fourth installment in the Terminator franchise after 2003’s Terminator: Rise of the Machines, and is still in the process of casting but is expected to start shooting May 5th in New Mexico.

This latest Terminator, part one of a planned trilogy, tells the story of an older John Connor (Bale) who leads a ragtag band of nuclear holocaust survivors in a desperate battle to stop the evil defense computer Skynet from finishing the job it started and wiping out the rest of humanity. Sounds interesting.

Many of the writers who made the original Buffy: The Vampire Slayer TV series so popular have moved on to other things and been very successful. One such Buffy alum who has done particularly well for himself, especially lately, is Drew Goddard — who, after exiting Buffy, went on to write for Angel, Alias and Lost.

More recently, he transitioned to features, writing the screenplay for J.J. Abrams’ monster movie Cloverfield, as well as its sequel. Even though he’s hard at work on Cloverfield 2, Goddard isn’t forgetting his roots and is, according to Dark Horse Comics Editor Scott Allie, taking on a four-issue arc for the Buffy: Season Eight comic book.

Goddard’s arc for the comic, called Wolves at the Gate, will not, as you might expect from the title, feature the Buffy gang fighting wolves. Instead, Buffy and Co. will travel to Japan to take on an ancient group of vampires bent on world domination with the stakes, according to Allie, "staggeringly high this time."

The first issue of Goddard’s arc goes on sale March 8th.

Previously, I brought you the first image from the upcoming film The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe, the sequel to one of the seminal films of the ’80s: The Lost Boys. Now, thanks to ShockTilYouDrop, there’s a new, exclusive interview with the sequel’s star, and ’80s teen icon, Corey Feldman.

The site caught up to the actor this weekend at a post-Oscar party in Beverly Hils where, among other tidbits, Feldman reveals that the Lost Boys sequel has finished shooting and is now in post-production, some info about the sequel’s story, which picks up the action 20 years later, and why it may have taken so long for the sequel to finally be made.

Feldman also reveals his thoughts on the film’s script, why he thinks the sequel should have been made and that he and co-star Corey Haim won’t be spending much quality time together in the future. It’s an interesting, albiet short, interview that gives some decent insight into the film and one of its stars.
