Hugh Jackman Trading in Claws for Torture Tool in 'Prisoners'?
11 hours ago
In a casting call for Warner Bros. Pictures' Prisoners, the Valley Independent reports that Hugh Jacksman (X-Men, Wolverine) might have been cast in the film being directed by Antoine Fuqua. "Local officials said theyve been told Hugh Jackman is attached to the movie." We'll let you know when the news is officially announced.
Aaron Guzikowski's screenplay for Prisoners is considered a hot commodity and was named one of the best unproduced scripts of 2009. Guzikowski's dark tale centers on a small-town man who, after his daughter and her friend are kidnapped and the cops fail to solve the crime, takes matters into his own hands, holding hostage the person he suspects committed the crime. He also comes into conflict with the big-city detective assigned to the case.

'Diner' Hosts Vampire and Werewolf vs Zombies
16 December 2009 8:20 PM, PST
DreamWorks Animation has set Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris to write Gil's All Night Fright, an adaptation of the A. Lee Martinez novel that has Barry Sonnenfeld attached to direct.
The scribes previously received story credit on DreamWorks Animation's "Kung Fu Panda." The writers also originated the Ridley Scott-directed "Robin Hood" as a spec script that was subsequently rewritten by Brian Helgeland, and they were exec producers and writers on the Showtime drama series "Sleeper Cell."
Much like the "Twilight" series, "Gil's All Fright Diner" revolves around a vampire and a werewolf. Here, they are mismatched partners who battle zombies and try to save the world, after they stop in a diner in the desert that is a conduit for the supernatural.
We liked the odd couple aspect of the story, this vampire and werewolf who team to save the world from an ancient demon and his modern ally,

The move keeps the company in the Cage business, which has been a successful one for the company. Summit was behind "Knowing," which grossed almost $80 million domestically when it was released in March and $183 million worldwide.

'Creature from the Black Lagoon' Taps New Director for Revival
14 December 2009 10:39 PM, PST
I've been dreaming of a big budget Creature From The Black Lagoon ever since it was rumored all of those years ago. While it looks like the creature (finally) may rise once again, I'm fearful that if The Wolfman tanks, so will this project. And if Wolfman is a terrible movie, what does that mean for our beloved Creature if the same studio is behind it? I shutter to think about it. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, who knows what the future holds, and Universal has hired a new director to replace Breck Eisner.
Universal Pictures is in early talks with Carl Erik Rinsch to direct Creature From The Black Lagoon, the remake of the 1954 U film about an undersea creature that terrorizes a scientific expedition.
Strike Entertainments Marc Abraham and Eric Newman produce with Gary Ross.
