Spend half an hour with Mo Rocca and prepare for a conversation that veers into the unexpected.
Perhaps he will discuss the differences between the characters of Dr. Seuss and the Muppets of Jim Henson (“It turns out they are oil and water. Seuss is head. Muppets are heart”). Maybe he will talk about Carl Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist known as the father of modern taxonomy. He might tell you of a few stints working in theater. He will inevitably turn to the years he has spent as a correspondent for “CBS Sunday Morning.”
And then he may quote from Sondheim, allude to “The Daily Show” or imagine a nervous stomach filled with Jolt cola. By chance, he may do all three.
These days, Rocca is adding another entry to his extremely eclectic resume. He is finding new life in the dead. His book “Mobituaries,” reexamines everyone from Thomas Paine...

Noah Hawley's 26 Keys Productions has signed an overall deal at 20th Century Fox. The film pact for the shingle run by Fargo creator Hawley and partner John Cameron comes on the heels of last week’s news that Hawley had signed on to make his feature directorial debut on Man Alive, an elevated sci-fi spec script by new writer Joe Greenberg. As part of the deal unveiled today, Leigh Kittay, formerly a VP at Parkes+MacDonald Productions, has been named Head of Film at 26…...

I'm a massive fan of what showrunner Noah Hawley has done with the TV adaptation of Fargo on FX, so I'm extremely curious to see what he'll do with his first feature film as director. Deadline reports that in addition to developing and producing Fargo season 3, an adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, and the X-Men series Legion, Hawley has signed on to direct his first movie, a mysterious sci-fi film called Man Alive.
We don't have any details about the project other than it's description as "elevated sci-fi," and that it hails from first-time writer Joe Greenberg, so we're sort of flailing in the dark on this one. But I consider Hawley a storytelling genius after what he's done with Fargo (especially that first season), so I'll see just about anything that has his name on it. No word about when Hawley will be able to fit this into his busy schedule,...

According to Deadline, 20th Century Fox has set Fargo creator Noah Hawley to direct Man Alive, an "elevated sci-fi" flick based on a spec script by newcomer Joe Greenberg. That's about it for details on the planned film, but the studio must have read something they liked since they reportedly purchased Greenberg's spec script in a six-figure deal.

X-Men Apocalypse
A new trailer for Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Apocalypse" is set to drop within a day, before that though the helmer released a new behind-the-scenes photo featuring Ben Hardy's Angel standing over his defeated cage fighting opponent who appears to be The Blob. Kevin Durand played the character in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" but that doesn't appear to be the case here. [Source: Instagram]

After yesterday’s news about the comedy Women in Business, Fox has today acquired another much sought-after script, this time for a sci-fi film written by newcomer Joe Greenberg. The news is so early in development that there’s essentially nothing known about the movie except that it’ll be called Man Alive.
The exciting part is that a director is already on board: the mind behind the way-too-brilliant FX series Fargo, Noah Hawley, will make his feature film directing debut helming the new project. The cost of the script wasn’t disclosed, but it was said to be a six-figure deal placed by Fox to net the movie.
Anyone who has seen Fargo‘s second season knows that Hawley’s mind can wander to the supernatural, otherworldly side of things, so it’ll be very interesting to see what the writer does in a directing capacity on a science fiction film.

ABC News’ This Week with George Stephanopoulos will get a new executive broadcast producer. Jonathan Greenberg, 29, has been promoted from senior producer. Greenberg began his career at ABC News almost ten years ago as an intern in the political unit where he served as Stephanopoulos’ assistant. He took a brief hiatus from the network to finish his law degree at Stanford. ABC News president Ben Sherwood made the announcement Tuesday. “Jonathan is a familiar face to many at ABC, and especially to the staff at This Week,” wrote Sherwood in an email to ABC News staffers. “Last year

Assassin's Creed and Arkham City make the Writer's Guild of America's list of nominees for the best writing in games for 2011.
The WGA is in its fourth year of adding video games to its nominees for writing in media. And while this list might not have reflected my own choices for some of the best writing in games for the year (I'm disappointed in the omission of both Bastion and Portal 2, for instance and as much as I dug Arkham City, I don't think it was anywhere near a contender for best writing this year), the recognition for the industry is cool (if still limited).
Here's the full list of nominees and congrats to everyone who's on it:
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, Story by Alexandre Amancio, Jean Guesdon, Corey May, Darby McDevitt; Multiplayer Story by Stéphane Blais, Richard Farrese, Jeffrey Yohalem; Lead Script Writer Darby McDevitt; Script Writers Richard Farrese,...
