Another story that appears to have been swamped by the fuss surrounding Lucasfilm was the news that Bryan Singer has officially signed on to fill the director's chair on X-Men: Days of Future Past, following the recent departure of Matthew Vaughn.

Getting somewhat buried by the media blitz concentrated on today's announcement of a new trilogy of Star Wars films is the news that Rockstar Games has confirmed that the eagerly-awaited GTA V will be launched worldwide in Spring 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Entertaintment Weekly claims to have been given an exclusive sneak-peek at what fans can expect from Warner Home Video's forthcoming The Dark Knight Rises on Blu-ray.

Less than 24 hours after insisting that there was nothing wrong with the Blu-ray release of Marvel's Avengers Assemble, Disney UK has done a volte face and confessed it screwed things up. Going into full damage-limitation lock-down, it has issued the following statement:

It's the most wanted 3D Blu-ray release of all time, but until now the only way to get hold of a stereoscopic version of James Cameron's award-winning sci-fi spectacular Avatar was as part of a promotional deal with selected Panasonic Blu-ray players, recorders and cinema systems. Either that, or pay over-the-odds on ebay or similar auction sites for a second-hand copy.

Panasonic has announced the launch of a new promotional deal to tie-in with the upcoming Blu-ray release of Titanic 3D.

To celebrate the UK cinema release of The Dark Knight Rises, Virgin Media has teamed up with Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures to launch a dedicated Dark Knight app for its TiVo service.
