Third Spidey flick in the offing

CALIFORNIA: A third Spider-Man film is being made, before the second super-hero flick has been released, according to a report. Variety says ‘Spider-Man Three’ is in development, which means film studio Sony are putting together a story and script for the movie. They apparently expect it will be released in 2006 or 2007. The first film made £440m when it came out in 2002. The second part hits cinemas across the world in July 2004.

Mars rocks were covered in water

CALIFORNIA: NASA has announced they have proof that Mars could have had some form of life living on it in the past. Their rover Opportunity found that the rocks near where it landed were once in a place that was soaked with water. NASA reckons that the rocks were changed in some way by water, or may even have been left behind by a kind of liquid. A NASA spokesperson said they’ve spent two weeks checking different experiments from Mars, and have now worked out what they mean.
