I know that this hasn't been updated for a VERY LONG time, but I just had to shout this one out:

Aside from the fact that Spielberg is having problems with funding the first of the trilogy, he's pushing forward with it, and he now wants Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) and Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) to be in it! Here's what Simon had to say, courtesy of WorstPreviews.com:

I cannot express how interesting this is going to be!

EDIT - Oh, I almost forgot: It's been revealed that the first movie will be based on The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham's Treasure.
