Rurouni Kenshin: First picture of Takeru Satoh back as Kenshin for RK sequel

After being released in theaters last year to critical acclaim, the live-action adaptation of Nobuhiko Watsuki's epic samurai Manga/ Anime Rurouni Kenshin is getting not one, but TWO sequels next year, and will see Takeru Satoh returning as the wandering samurai turned protector.

Known as "Samurai X" to western and international audiences, the new movies won't be out until the beginning of summer 2014. However, the first screenshot from the second film has finally come online, and courtesy of the RK (Samurai X) Facebook page and the Takeru Satoh blog!

It's Himura Kenshin walking inside the Kamiya Dojo. Is he expecting a fight to happen, or is something else going on? For sure, there's more action to be had now that a certain enemy of his to inherit the title of "Hitokiri Battousai" after his retirement is coming.

With Tatsuya Fujiwara of "Death Note" fame cast as "Shishio Makoto", the new sequels will be entitled "Rurouni Kenshin: The Great Kyoto Fire Arc" and "Rurouni Kenshin: The End of a Legend Arc". Many Kenshin fans got a taste of what a live action version of their favorite Rurouni warrior could do... And it'll definitely be more intense come the new films next year.

No official release date has been given for the sequels, but expect Rurouni Kenshin to blast into Japanese theaters first in Summer 2014, then get released internationally soon afterward.

Resident Evil goes from Degeneration to Damnation!

Now that Paul W.S. Anderson's latest Resident Evil flick, RE: Afterlife is making the rounds in theaters, news and interest on Capcom's survival horror franchise has spiked up, and yours truly couldn't be any happier with the results. In addition to the fact that there definitely will be a sequel to Afterlife, it looks like Sony and Capcom have decided to make a sequel to their 2008 CG Animated movie, Resident Evil: Degeneration!

For those who don't know about that movie, it was set in the same universe as the games, and featured Resident Evil 2's main stars Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield reuniting once more to fend off zombie attacks and bio hazard threats. While the film may have had mixed reviews, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and at least it retained the spirit and continuity of the games, which was big plus factor for me as an RE fan. Now, the people behind that flick are making the next CG installment, RE: Damnation. According to the post featured in Kotaku, the new movie will star Leon once again, and we can only guess who else will star and what the plot will be. Since RE: Degeneration took place between Resident Evil 4 and 5, maybe Damnation will take place after those events, with Leon taking on another mission backed by U.S Government... and running into Ada Wong once more. We can only dream for now... but I'm happy that a new flick is coming. Stay tuned for more updates as they come.

Megan Fox Gone From Transformers 3?!

WOAH... This is surprising news!

According to a report by Enewsi and Superherohype, actress Megan Fox won't be returning as Shia "Sam Witcwicky" LaBeouf's love interest, Mikaela, in Transormers 3! Instead, Paramount Pictures and director Michael Bay are going to cast a new love interest that will play opposite LaBeouf's character, working on a new direction for the Autobot vs Decipticon sequel. I call this surprising since the picture you see above with her and Bumblebee only appeared a few weeks ago! Still, rumors have been flying that this supposed firing could be related to the previous "hearty comments" Fox made over Bay's direction during shooting of their previous movie, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.

If this piece of news proves to be true, then I am one sad fanboy. Megan Fox was one of the eyecatching new Hollywood stars to debut in the franchise back in 2007, and her beauty and sex appeal has led the actress to be cast in several other movies, most notably in horror flick Jennifer's Body and this year's upcoming film adaptation of the comic book series Jonah Hex. Now that she's apparently been booted from TF3, what's next for the mega hot star?
