According to Paul Martin at NarniaFans.com, if you go see Toy Story 3 in 3D, they’re showing The Voyage of the Dawn Treader trailer in 3D in front of the movie! Now, we have to include our usual disclaimer here. If you are going to see Toy Story 3 solely for the purpose of seeing the trailer, please call the theater first to make sure they have it! Even though Fox has attached the Dawn Treader trailer to the movie, it’s not a guarantee that every theater will be showing it. We’ve heard from several people that the trailer was not attached to their theater’s Toy Story 3.

From Borys Kit at The Hollywood Reporter: James McAvoy has signed on to play a young Charles Xavier, aka Professor X, in “X-Men: First Class,” which Matthew Vaughn is directing for Fox. According to Fox, “First Class” will “chart the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Eric Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were the closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.” James McAvoy played Mr. Tumnus the faun in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Zondervan Publishing will be teaming up with iPad to try something new for people who enjoy digital e-Readers.
