Sure Shots: Gary Oldman; The Hobbit; Ender's Game

* Gary Oldman has confirmed what he's been hinting at for a couple of weeks now, that if Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy warrants a sequel, it will be based on John LeCarre's novel, Smiley's People. This would be a break from the chronology of the books, as the next story in the series is The Honourable Schoolboy. The problem with using that story is it focuses on a totally different character, and in order to keep Oldman's George Smiley character prominent this was the logical route to take.  Oldman also revealed that he's hanging up the badge of Commissioner Jim Gordon for good after The Dark Knight Rises.

* It's just not worth it to try and swim against the tide of one of my predictions, so why does anybody(lookin' at you Variety!) bother? As I suspected a couple of weeks ago, the trailer for The Hobbit will premier ahead of showings of The Adventures of Tintin. Doesn't that make sense, considering Peter Jackson is involved with both films? Last week Variety noted that we'd see the footage before Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

* Indiana Jones in Space? Not quite, and considering Harrison Ford's recent history with science fiction(hello Cowboys & Aliens!!), I wouldn't be surprised if he avoids the genre for the rest of his career. Variety reports the actor is being sought for the role of training commander Colonel Hyrum Graff in Gavin Hood's adaptation of Ender's Game. Based on the mega popular, ever growing series of novels by Orson Scott Card, the story centers on a future society where earth trains children to be brutal military commanders to battle an insectoid enemy. Asa Butterfield(Hugo), who entered talks for the lead role of Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, has now officially signed on. Ender's Game already has a May 15th 2013 release date set in stone.
