Monster Trucks has been hanging around for a while, and the studio behind it has so little faith they’ve already written of a multi-million dollar loss on it. However, they’ve nevertheless given it a prime December 26th release date, in the hope of enticing kids while they’re out of school.

Steven Spielberg is getting serious once more, this time reteaming with Tom Hanks to take on a tale of the Cold War and the precarious situation between the US and Russia in the 1960s.
A couple of months ago Steven Spielberg set his next two movies – an adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The BFG and before that a currently untitled Cold War thriller that will reunite him with Tom Hanks. The latter movie is due to start shooting in September, so there’s not too much time for the director to fill out the rest of the cast.
