That’s right this week bring an all new episode of The Flickcast. On this week’s show Chris and Matt take on another bunch of new and recurring topics to amuse, entertain and try to keep you awake for at least thirty to forty minutes.

Some of the things discussed this week include SXSW, Emerald City Comic Con, new Tomb Raider reboot, Wonder Woman TV show casting, Superman’s mom and dad, trailers for Limitless and James Gunn’s Super and a whole lot more. And yes, there’s even a mention or two of Charlie Sheen. Sorry, couldn’t help it.

Of course, your hosts also made some picks this week including Matt’s pick of the Re-Animator trilogy featuring Jeffrey Combs and Chris’ pick of the 2002′s Road to Perdition featuring Tom Hanks, Jude Law and pre-Bond Daniel Craig.

Recently, news was traveling around the Internets that the new ‘Bond’ film was being put on hold due to the financial woes of MGM, there is now news that Sam Mendes – the director of American Beauty, Road to Perdition, and Revolutionary Road – is signing up to direct the still untitled movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie is now being fast tracked, despite the issues with the movie studio.

Sam Mendes, whose closest action film effort has to be either Jarhead, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, and Road to Perdition, starring Tom Hanks and current ‘James Bond’ Daniel Craig, has been a celebrated director since his debut with 1999′s American Beauty. Bond 23, which is being written by Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon) and ‘Bond’ series writers, Neil Purvis and Robert Wade is currently scheduled for filming sometime this year, with a hopeful release date of 2011.
