SUNDAY PICS: JULIANNE MOORE NUDE FOR BVLGARI, BETTY WHITE WITH NUDE BOYS, NEW "CONAN" AND "TRON" IMAGES

Ah, what's a girl to do for her self-esteem after she's passed 40? Pose naked herself, or pose with naked boys around her? Julianne Moore chose to do the first thing by posing nude in the sizzling new marketing campaign for fashion house Bvlgari. Wearing just a few strategically placed handbags along with a couple of cute baby lions, and nothing much else, Julianne is looking quite steamy ahead of the premiere of her new critically praised movie "The Kids Are All Right".

On the other hand, our favourite (and the only living) Golden Girl, adorable and absolutely divine Betty White has decided to pose with some naked boys for a definite must-have - her new calendar for 2011 (yep, you read it right) which will hit stores in September. And I must add that our dear girl is just 88 :))

You must also check out two stunningly beautiful and fresh new banners for the upcoming sf movie "Tron: Legacy" featuring two gorgeous young people - Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde. The movie is out this December.

And for all my girls, here are two new pics of hunky Jason Momoa looking all dangerous in the remake of "Conan". The epic adventure will come to cinemas next year and is directed by Marcus Nispel.

"PHARAOH" NEW EPIC TV SERIES SET IN ANCIENT EGYPT

After they've created the amazing "Rome" TV show, HBO and BBC will collaborate again to produce new historical series "Pharaoh" with the help of famous John Milius ("Conan"). This 12-part series will be set in the ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom that began in 1479 B.C. with the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, a rare female pharaoh, who ruled as regent until her nephew, Thutmosis III, took the throne. The mighty warrior pharaoh created the largest empire ancient Egypt had ever seen, an international super-power sprawling from southern Syria to northern Sudan.
Beside depicting the fascinating life of the pharaohs, "Pharaoh" will also mix characters at all levels of life, historical and fictional figures, common people with which audiences can identify: one will be a tomb-robber, others a priest, soldiers and merchants ... John Milius said that "Pharaoh" will stand apart in some ways from "Rome": differently from ancient Rome, Egypt was focused on mysticism, the relationship to death, mummification, life after death. Since the producers want to make series of international reach the whole project will be financed by European, Middle East and American partners.

FIRST IMAGE FROM ZACK SNYDER'S "SUCKER PUNCH"

You know that Zack Snyder, the director we love so much for his stunning visual and directorial vision seen in "300", "Watchmen", "Legend of the Guardians", is having the premiere of his new movie "Sucker Punch" in March 2011. "Entertaining Weekly" has published the first picture from it and you can see its female cast - Emily Browning as Baby Doll, Jena Malone as Rocket, Vanessa Hudgens as Blondie, Jamie Chung as Amber, Abbie Cornish as Sweetpea and there's also Scott Glenn in the background. Set in the 1960's "Sucker Punch" will follow a teenage girl (Emily Browning) whose evil stepfather (Jon Hamm) sends her to an asylum where she starts to imagine alternative reality and meets other teen patients (Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jamie Chung and Jena Malone). She then retreats into a multi-level fantasy world where she and her friends are the star attractions in a Moulin Rouge-esque night club brothel, and sexy warriors battling robotic Germans in a stylized version of the First World War. They also fight dragons and knights in a medieval world, kick alien butt on a futuristic planet, and battle giant samurai in an ancient temple. So pretty much a crazy movie with crazy characters and crazy visual design :)

TIM BURTON'S AND JOHNNY DEPP'S "DARK SHADOWS" PROJECT MOVES ON WITH A NEW WRITER

I remember that whenever I've published something on Tim Burton in the past a lot of you mentioned in your comments that you would like him to just quit all his plans and finally start working on his version of "Dark Shadows". Well good news for you: according to "Deadline NY", Tim Burton has hired Seth Grahame Smith to write the script so that they might start shooting the film in January 2011. If you remember, Seth Grahame Smith is the author of the bestselling novel "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" which will be adapted into a film by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, and now he will work with Burton again on "Dark Shadows" with a new and unique approach to the material. "Dark Shadows" was cult supernatural TV show from the 60's full of vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies as the main characters. In Tim Burton's adaptation, Johnny Depp is supposed to play the vampire patriarch Barnabas Collins.

FIRST OFFICIAL PICTURE OF RYAN REYNOLDS AS "GREEN LANTERN". JENNIFER LAWRENCE IS THE NEW MYSTIQUE IN "X-MEN FIRST CLASS"

You didn't think I would let you go without your daily dose of super hero news? Well, first of all probably the most popular news of the day was the first official picture of Ryan Reynolds as "Green Lantern" which appeared around the Net today. It is actually the cover of the upcoming issue of "Entertain ment Weekly" which shows Ryan for the first time in the truly magnificent and modern "Green Lantern" suit. As you know Ryan plays Hal Jordan, a cocky test pilot who becomes an intergalactic superhero with a power ring which can conjure virtually anything he can dream up, so he uses his will and imagination as superpowers. How do you like the look of his suit???

I also have new official updates on "X-Men: First Class" casting: young actress Jennifer Lawrence who got praise for her role this year in indie movie "Winter's Bone" has signed on to play young Mystique who was played marvelously before by stunning Rebecca Romijn in the previous parts of the mutant saga. And the rumor about Kevin Bacon getting a villain role in the same movie has now been officially confirmed - he will really play one of the bad guys in "X-Men: First Class".

ELIZABETH BANKS IS LIVE ACTION "TINKERBELL". NEW "HERCULES" EPIC. MARK RUFFALO MIGHT BE THE NEW HULK. "CASSASTAR" TRAILER!

As you've noticed from my recent daily updates Hollywood has gone crazy about fairy tales so I have another fairy tale movie adaptation to announce today: Disney will make "Tink", a live-action film about the adorable Tinkerbell produced by Adam Shankman and McG. The good news is that blond angel Elizabeth Banks ("30s Rock", "Scrubs") is set to take the lead role in the film which will focus on the mischievous nature of the Tinkerbell.

Although the public got excited with the news of Joaquin Phoenix possibly taking the role of Hulk in "The Avengers" from Edward Norton, it seems that we have a new candidate for the role: according to "Deadline NY" Mark Ruffalo is already in final talks to portray The Hulk in "The Avengers". It seems that after "Thor", "Spiderman" and "Captain America" we now have a new casting mystery to deal with in next few weeks :)

A news I mentioned a year ago is hot again: Brett Ratner ("X-Men: The Last Stand") is planning a live-action movie about the famous mythological hero "Hercules". According to "MovieWeb" Avi Lerner ("The Expendables") has been working on the script for over three years and is now looking to use the current trend of epic movies in cinemas to film his story.

And something exclusive which has just come up: check out the first rockin' trailer for CASSASTAR, the upcoming sf book from my great friend Alex. J. Cavanaugh. The book is out October 19th, and you will be honoured to read the worldwide exclusive interview with Alex on the same day here at Hollywood Spy :) Congrats, on the great book trailer, Alex!

EXCLUSIVE AND OFFICIAL FIRST IMAGE OF ANTHONY HOPKINS AND CHRIS HEMSWORTH IN "THOR"

Ah, so the first official image from the upcoming super hero movie "Thor" is here, and we can finally take an official glimpse onto the main characters: Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Chris Hemsworth as the mighty Thor himself and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Beside publishing the first image, "LA Times" has also revealed the information that both "Thor" and "Captain America: The First Avenger" will be converted into 3D. "Thor's" director Kenneth Branagh, admitted that he wasn't into the conversion, having some doubts about the process, but that he had changed his mind after discovering the unexpected artistic opportunities it offered him as the director. So how do you like the first look of the guys from "Thor"?
