SMALLVILLE CREATORS ON IRON MAN
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, creators and executive producers of The WB's Smallville, have been tapped to write an Iron Man screenplay for New Line Cinema.
According to Variety, New Line is targeting Iron Man as a major release in 2005.
Gough and Millar have feature film experience. They wrote last weekend's Shanghai Knights, as well as its predecessor Shanghai Noon. The duo also did two drafts on the Spider-Man sequel.
According to Variety, Gough and Millar will start from scratch on their Iron Man story. Iron Man has been at New Line for nearly three years.

DAREDEVIL MOVIE UPDATE
The Daredevil movie will open in approximately 3,500 theaters this weekend, including many of which will show the film late Thursday night.
A representative of Fox couldn't confirm an exact number of theaters, but said the film's release will be "huge."
Insiders told The Continuum that Daredevil is a cinch to open No. 1, but will be hard pressed to top the all-time February opening record of $58.0 million, set by Hannibal in 2001. The second all-time largest opening in February was Scream 3 with $34.7 million in 2000.
