Console Wars: The Movie?

What is Sony Pictures up to? Do they have some kind of Console War movie in the works?

Fusible noticed that Sony Pictures Entertainment has registered a bunch of domain names that indicate there is a mysterious "Console War" project happening. Those urls (which lead nowhere right now) include ConsoleWarmovie.com and TheConsoleWarmovie.com, among others.

As the site points out, this could be related to something other than a film or DVD -- perhaps some kind of marketing for the upcoming PlayStation 4. But again, since the domains were registered by the company's film division, that seems less likely.

We've reached out to Sony for comment and will update this story if we hear back.

Universal Pictures has recently changed up several of its release dates for 2013, including Steven Spielberg's 3D release of Jurassic Park. The 1993 adventure film will now be hitting theaters in the spring, moving from July 18 to April 5.

The studio has also set release dates for About Time (May 10), Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall (June 28) and 2 Guns (August 16).

White House Down Pushed Forward

Sony Pictures has apparently decided to move the release date of White House Down from November 2013 to June.

According to Deadline, the Roland Emmerich-directed film will now release on June 28, 2013. It was originally slated to hit cinemas from November 1, 2013.

Exactly why the studio decided to move the date hasn't been stated, but speculation is rife that it's in order to compete with Millennium Films upcoming thriller, Olympus Has Fallen. The Antoine Fuqua-directed film doesn't have a release date yet, but as both movies have been described as "Die Hard in the White House", the assumption seems to be whichever film releases first will do better.

Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx are set to star in Emmerich's film, while Fuqua has enlisted Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart to try and ensure that his movie comes out on top.
