• Paul Blart: Mall Cop Set Visit

  ReelzChannel.com was lucky enough to get to check out the set of Sony's new holiday action/comedy, Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

  It stars a mustachioed Kevin James (The King of Queens, Hitch) as an overzealous shopping mall security guard that must defend his territory when it's taken over by a gang of X-game-y criminals, and from what we saw, it looks like it is going to be pretty funny.

  Check out our Paul Blart: Mall Cop Set Visit article to get the full scoop.

• Frank Miller to Direct Buck Rogers Flick

  Given all of the other '70s and '80s titles that have been dragged out of storage, re-tooled and plastered on the big screen over the last decade, it seemed inevitable that Buck Rogers, the swingin' space cowboy who cruised the galaxy for three seasons on NBC from 1979-1981 (and in numerous comic books and movie serials in the decades prior), would get his shot. IGN Movies reports that Nu Image/Millennium Films, the folks behind the recent Rambo revival and the upcoming Conan the Barbarian reboot, are moving forward with a new Buck Rogers movie, with Frank Miller -- yes, the same Frank Miller who gave us Sin City, The Dark Knight Returns and various other dark, cynical and intensely violent graphic novels -- slated to direct.

  Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

• Bioshock Coming to Big Screen

  Bioshock is the next in a long line of hit videogames that will be making its way to the silver screen. Gore Verbinski (the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy) has signed a deal with Universal to direct an adaptation of the story, which he describes as a "utopia-gone-wrong story."

  In Bioshock, which only came out last year, a pilot crash lands in Rapture, an underwater city in which the free-market principles of author Ayn Rand have run amok and discovers he might not actually have the free will he thought he did. A sequel to the game is expected in 2009.

  How much can you expect to pay for your favorite movie ride and what options might that package include?

  In the market for a Deloreon with a pre-installed Flux Capacitor? Want a car that kills off your enemies? Need oil-slick deployers or bulletproof windshields to thwart a drive-by? Maybe there's a massive staircase that would be the perfect shortcut to work if only your darn car would fit. Or perhaps you're just looking for a ride with a decent stereo to cruise the town while head-banging to some "Bohemian Rhapsody?"

  Any way you look at it, ReelzChannel.com has you covered with our Movie Car Buyer's Guide.
