The JACKASS franchise is at its biggest, after being around for over ten years now. The third JACKASS film just released on DVD and Blu-ray, after having a $170 million run. The guys behind the film seem to be ready for a break. So what’s next for them?

Louis Leterrier on a shortlist to direct THE AVENGERS?

There’s really no telling how close we are to an announcement on who will be directing THE AVENGERS. Cries by fanboys everywhere (myself included) were pleading for Jon Favreau to take the job, but he announced he will only be executive producer. After that, talk of directors dispelled mostly, until now. While speaking to Ain’t It Cool, THE INCREDIBLE HULK director Louis Leterrier said he might be on board.
