Anne Hathaway Eyes Spielberg's Robopocalypse

Imagine Catwoman and Thor together in a sci-fi film directed by Steven Spielberg. It might just happen.

The Hollywood Reporter says Anne Hathaway is in early talks to play the female lead opposite Chris Hemsworth in Robopocalypse.

No details yet on their roles, but the project is an adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson's book. It's set to be Spielberg's next film following the release of Lincoln.

Former 20th Century Fox boss Tom Rothman has also come aboard to produce Robopocalypse, which is a Fox-DreamWorks co-production.

Robopocalypse is set to open April 25, 2014.

The Catholic Church is No Fan of Prometheus

The official newspaper for the Catholic Church has taken Ridley Scott's sci-fi film Prometheus to task.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano said Prometheus “mishandles the delicate questions raised by … the battle eternal between good and evil in yet another attempt to steak the secret of immortality.”

The paper added that “the journey of Prometheus should instead symbolize the search for the supernatural” in a reference to the Greek myth from which the film title comes.

Scott's Prometheus questions the origins of humankind, showing that aliens created humans, or were at least responsible for our evolution, whereas the Bible, of course, says God created man in his own image.
