It’s battle of the buddy action movies this weekend. On one end, there’s Channing Tatum teaming up with Jamie Foxx for White House Down. On the other it’s Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy in The Heat. Whatever you fancy, it will be one action packed screening at the cinemas! Once again, I’m not sure who to start off the ELO with, so here’s Jamie Chung getting into some American patriotic gear just ahead of Independence Day

After the jump, it might not be the end for This is the End, see what Peter Jackson has in store for the extended edition of The Hobbit, Marvel wants Vin Diesel, watch Sly and Ah-nold break out of a prison, World War Z deviates quite a bit from the source material, Max Landis didn’t like Man of Steel and the top 10 Backstreet Boys lyrics of all time .

Here’s a little fun trivia for ya. Turns out Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have been asked to write the Uncharted film, but they have repeatedly turned it down. Yes, comedy might be their forté but that was not the reason why they refuse to help with the live action adaptation of the popular video game. (IGN)

Speaking of Evan Goldberg, he has some ideas for a sequel to This is the End. Let’s say, we should just leave it as a stand-alone film. (Screen Daily)

The quality of Pixar films have been on a slight downward trend lately (though in general, they are still in fresh territory for the most part), but one of the problems lately is the surge in sequels and the lack of original stories. Hold that thought now since Pixar has announced that they would scale back these sequels and focus more on original content. (Slashfilm)

Exclusive look at the sequel to Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs features something called ‘Foodimals’. Ya I’m sure you can guess where this is going. (USA Today)

Just when you thought that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was a bit too long and didn’t progress very far into the source material, Peter Jackson details what he will throw in for the extended edition of the film! Maybe this time we’ll feel like something more significant happens in the film before the credits roll. (Empire)

The mother of all revealing trailers. You get to see what it’s all about and perhaps get a glimpse of that ending too in Escape Plan featuring Sly and Ah-nold. (IGN)

Fun fact: Jonah Hill turned down roles in The Hangover and Transformers 2 for more dramatic roles. He wanted to venture into films where he can be taken more seriously. In a way it did pay off as he got an Oscar nod for his part in Moneyball. (Bullett)

Given Vin Diesel’s recent rise in popularity again, Marvel now wants a piece. What for? No idea. Even Vin doesn’t know according to his Facebook page. (Superhero Hype)

For those that have seen World War Z, here’s a funny Venn diagram that sums up how the film compares to the novel perfectly. (The Oatmeal)

Will Smith won’t be returning for the Independence Day sequel because he is too popular. Translate: he is asking for too much money. (NY Daily News)

Reports on the death of 3D cinema has been greatly exaggerated. (Variety)

John Hodgman explains why the action hero in American films love wearing white tank tops. (Entertainment Weekly)

We know Chronicle screenwriter Max Landis is a huge fan of Superman and after watching Man of Steel, he has a few nitpicks with the film. That being said, he does have a valid argument though.

Jimmy Kimmel has an idea for a sequel to White House Down.

LOL of the week. Backstreet Boys appeared on David Letterman to present their top 10 lyrics from their songs. It’s probably not quite how you remembered them…
