Welcome to The Weekend Extras! A dose of all the smaller movie related news, clips and just plain cool stuff that you might have missed! So, just like the normal Extras, just much bigger!

We start with some Hobbit news with this pretty epic pic of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, dirt stained, Sting in hand. (The sword not the singer. Let’s keep it PG-13, thank you.) Judging by Bilbo’s web-covered state, I’m guessing that this is after he has battled the spiders of Mirkwood. Click the pic for a humungous high res version.

Chronicle director, Josh Trank, may be helming the proposed Fantasic Four reboot. I’ll hold off my opinion until I can see his work first, but it would be very hard to make the franchise any cheesier than it already is.

A new image of Chris Evans as a battle-worn Captain America in The Avengers has emerged. Director Joss Whedon has also let slip that Avengers will be told from Cap’s perspective.

“So much of [The Avengers] story takes place from Steve Rogers’ perspective, since he’s the guy who just woke up and sees this weird-ass world. Everyone else has been living in it. He’s the guy that feels that sense of loss.”

JJ Abams has officially kicked off production on Star Trek 2. Still no script details out yet.

Empire is reporting that a TV series prequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Psycho may be heading our way. No, Mother. Please, not that, Mother.

Jordana Brewster talks to Collider about the success of Fast Five and what’s happening with Fast Six (Worst. Sequel. Titles. Ever.)
