Welcome back for another edition of News Bits.  What is it you ask?  The film world can get quite overwhelming at times in the news that releases.  Unfortunately some of this news is just too small to warrant a full article. Rather than deprive you of the news, we've created this section.  This week in news bits we’ve got trailers, posters, announcements, and lots more!

Yeah, Party Down fans can now have false hope for a movie just like everyone else!  Not one to be left out of a party, series creator Rob Thomas assures us that a Party Down movie is in the works!  Just like he's been saying about Veronica Mars for years now!  Of course it's going to happen!  THE EXCLAMATION POINTS MEAN I'M EXCITED! The caps lock means I'm doubly excited!

...

And the ellipse means I'm doubtful. :(

And the backwards smiley face means I'm sad.

Here at TMP I’ve had a couple articles dealing with books and movie adaptations.  Inevitably one of the comments I always get on these articles say something to the effect of “I didn’t even know that was based off a book!”  Sometimes those adaptations can sneak up on you and unless you really watch the credits you would never know.  So I’ve compiled a list of movies you most likely didn’t know were based off of books.

Filmmakers never keep their promises.  They promise big news and announcements, but never deliver on time.  Back in February, J.J Abrams said he would announce if he was returning for Star Trek 2 or not in March.  He announced it Monday.  Two weeks ago, David Slade claimed on Twitter that some Daredevil news would be revealed last week.  The news then broke last night.  Man, I need to buy these guys a calendar or something.

We here at TheMoviePool have been pretty adamant about our love of Blu Ray.  We've heralded it time and time again as the best system of watching movies at home.  However, it's a shame some of the best movies still haven't found their way to the format.  But now, we can mark another film off our list of Blu-Ray Editions Needed.  Because Jaws is coming to Blu-Ray and, better yet, it will be the version we all know and love!

If you haven't been paying attention the last few years, let me explain how huge a project Tintin seems to be. A joint production between Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, Tintin uses revolutionary motion capture technology. Apparently the character is huge outside the US, and fans everywhere have been curious of what Spielberg and Jackson have been doing. The film has a huge price tag and, if this one makes bank, Peter Jackson will be directing the sequel. A lot hinges on this film's success. But does the first footage show the next Avatar, or just another Robert Zemeckis abortion?

Reading will end poverty. Free education for all.” ~ Kimani N'gan'ga Maruge, The First Grader

Have you ever wanted something that would change your life that should never have been placed beyond your reach in the first place? Can you imagine for a moment being 84 and not knowing how to read? What would you do? This is the premise for the remarkable film The First Grader, directed by Justin Chadwick and based on a true story.

Kimani N'gan'ga Maruge is an 84 year old veteran Mau Mau freedom fighter who lives in a village in Kenya, Africa. When the Kenyan government declares that it will offer free education for all, Maruge decides that he will finally get the education that was denied him. He decides to go to First Grade at an isolated primary school so that he can learn to read. Once, he fought for his country’s right for freedom from colonialism. Now he will defend his right to learn to read.
