The Fantastic Five brings back the Fantastic Four with a new member, forcing the
super-heroes to change their name. The new member is Ameba-man, who can turn himself into any
shape he wishes, though that shape is in constant flux. Ameba-man is created by a freak accident
in the annual Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest (details not available). A source told us that
the plot is not secure yet but that the story starts with Ameba-man as a member and flashbacks will
show how he became a member. Another source told us that this movie is a set-up for another action
flick, "The Fantastic Five Meet The Avengers".

Nick Cage, said one source, is raring to reprise his roles as the Ghost Rider and Ben Sanderson
(his Oscar-winning role) in Leaving Las Vegas II: Ghost Rider Returns. The early draft for a
script calls for Ben Sanderson to return from the dead as a Ghost Rider, flaming skull and all. He
battles with the actual Ghost Rider as the two battle for control of the city.

Whatever Happened to Hannibal? picks up the travels of Hannibal Lector when he escapes with
only one hand in the sequel to "Silence of the Lambs." A source tells us that’s just a working
title but the script is coming along well. "Hannibal lands in a Scandinavian country and creates a
new identity. This time he disguises himself as Hans DeGans, an epicurean expert in Swiss
chocolate. Hans recipes come to the attention of Clarice Starling, who is now working as a caterer
for Interpol. When the two accidentally meet at a Nestles’ product convention, the plot thickens,
though no one would tell us about the middle or ending. One source said, "This may turn out to
feature the perverted romance between the two, though Hannibal, who will be played by Anthony
Hopkins again, is much older, with his taste for cannibalism fading as his love for chocolate grows.
