Cardiff City FC and Christmas shopping beckons me away this weekend so I'm going to leave you with these geektastic titbits of news to keep you warm on these cold winter evenings.

Iron Man 2 trailer, couldn't be more excited about this movie.

How many Iron Man armors did I see in that trailer? There was ol' Shell Head himself, War Machine and a shedload of other generic armors not including Whiplash's partial whip armor that actually looks pretty cool in full effect. Robert Downey Jr seems to be back in full on Stark mode which is easily the best place for him to be and I loved the Stark Expo bit, so over the top it may just work. The metal virus type thing spreading through Stark, is that a weapon used against him or the Extremis setting up Iron Man 3? Either would work but it could be pretty cool to see Warren Ellis' story on the big screen.

Bit of a different Friday feeling today as of course it's been Thanksgiving in the States so very little comic book news about. On a personal note I'm looking forward to the 10 girls in my work that are dressing in Original series Star Fleet Uniforms for tonight's Christmas party, expect many photos of me pimping with my hareem of Star Trek lovelies.

No stranger to comic book adaptations with Fantastic Four and Sin City under her slinky belt, Jessica Alba is set to star in the movie adaptation of The Insiders according to Latino Review. I don't know a lot about this book as it's Belgian and my European comic book knowledge sucks but is set to improve (more on that in future blogs). From what I can gather Alba will be playing a James Bondesque Colombian spy working for the U.S. infiltrating a crime syndicate and bringing them down form the inside. The title suggests however there may be more than one insider in this story, you heard it here first, or maybe I'm just reading too much into it? This film will see her reconnect with Sin City director Robert Rodriguez who will be acting as producer with JCVD director Mabrouk el Mechri attached to direct.

Thanks to those kind gentlemen over at Geek Syndicate we've got this truly awesome poster for Terminator: Salvation to show you. It comes from the Sony pictures website, is this not a Warners film? Maybe Sony are distributing it, anyway, however it get's to us it can't be soon enough for this movie fan. I really wasn't too sure about this production but everything I've seen so far makes me think this could be something special. Whatever happens with the film I've at least been impressed with the level of detail and thought that has gone into the design and promotinonal material so far, it shows that the franchise is being treated with the respect it deserves.
Terminator: Salvation is released in the U.S. 22nd May 2009, stars Christian Bale and Sam Worthington and is directed and produced by McG.
