The days of being unsure about what to call Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel sequel will soon be over. Warner Bros has registered a series of website domain names, which could all realistically be the film’s title.

They are: Man Of Steel: Battle The Knight; Man Of Steel: Beyond Darkness; Man Of Steel: Black Of Knight; Man Of Steel: Darkness Falls; Man Of Steel: Knight Falls; Man Of Steel: Shadow Of The Night; Man Of Steel: The Blackest Hour; and Man Of Steel: The Darkness Within.

It seems that Warners have rejected my suggestions of Man of Steel: European Gigolo; Man of Steel And the Goblet of Fire; Man of Steel: Back in the Habit and Man of Steel: Electric Boogaloo. It’s almost as if they don’t want me to email them.

While all the registered suggest that the title will begin with Man of Steel, I still think there’s a good chance that it’ll simply be Batman vs. Superman, which I think offers the best chance of box office success.

After last year’s Woman In Black remake was so warmly received, Hammer films has declared its intention to release a new version of 1957’s The Abominable Snowman.

The new take on the yeti story will centre around an illegal Himalayan expedition which accidentally awakens the beasts, risking almost certain death for the unlucky mountaineers.

Hammer CEO Simon Oakes said: “Our version of The Abominable Snowman will have something of the uncanny about it and it’ll have the mythology, and all the big Nigel Kneale [original writer] ideas of man and beast and nature. It won’t be heavily special effects-driven. It’ll align itself with the characters and the threat.”

Hammer is also working on a sequel to The Woman In Black called The Woman In Black: Angel of Death, as well as a Jack the Ripper film called Gaslight.

Ever been so depressed that you’ve stood on the side of a bridge, at night, in the middle of a blizzard, above a raging river, and considered ending it all?

On an unconnected note, it was announced last week that producers are planning a sequel to It’s A Wonderful Life, Frank Capra’s gloriously miserable Christmas film.

However, just like the film, when it seemed like things couldn’t get any worse, a glimmer of hope appeared. Paramount Pictures has declared that it will fight to protect the integrity of the original and will “take all appropriate steps to protect” the rights which it owns.

The original film saw James Stewart play George Bailey, a man in the depths of despair, contemplating suicide, but who is shown by an angel what life would have been like if he never existed.

The companies behind the project are Star Partners and Hummingbird Productions, who say they have secured Karolyn Grimes for the sequel. Grimes, who played George Bailey’s daughter Zuzu in the original, would star as an angel in the follow-up, and the whole story would revolve around Bailey’s grandson. How positively awful.

Even worse, the screenplay is entitled It’s a Wonderful Life: The Rest of the Story.

Cliched as it may be, It’s A Wonderful Life is one of my favourite Christmas films, so I’m hugely grateful that Paramount has stepped in. Christmas is a time for stamping the dreams of others.

Another sequel that deserves to be drowned at birth, is a follow-up to Disney’s live action Alice in Wonderland.

Alas, it seems this monstrous creation is going to survive.

Johnny Depp is officially signed on to reprise the role of The Mad Hatter, with Mia Wasikowska coming back as the title character.

James Bobin (The Muppets movie) is directing, and the 2010 film’s screenwriter Linda Woolverton has already been working on the script, called The Looking Glass.

The release date has even been slated: May 27, 2016.

You’ll notice the absence of Tim Burton’s name amid all this, and that can only be a good thing. The Burton-Depp relationship is lovely an’ all, but these days, neither man does his best work when tied to the other.

Furthermore, the first film was pretty good until the end (when the Mad Hatter danced and made everything terrible) so maybe this time, with no Burton, there won’t be any repeats of those disgusting scenes.
