Arrested Development Movie Script Coming Soon
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Fox Searchlight, Comedy, Rumors, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Jason Bateman could hardly contain his excitement when reporters grabbed in at the Paul red carpet this week. “It’s incredible,” he said of the upcoming Arrested Development movie.
Bateman hasn’t yet seen the script that’s been partially penned by Mitch Hurwitz, but he has been in talks about the story that will unfold on film. The actor says that “odds of [Hurwitz] getting it done before the end of the year… are good.”
“We are embarrassed,” he admitted, because it has taken so long for an Arrested Development movie to come to fruition. But, things are happening, and this should bolster fans of the show.
The series ran on FOX for three seasons, from 2003 to 2006.

Ben Stiller Confirms Zoolander Sequel Details
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Satire, Sequels, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Ben Stiller has confirmed Zoolander 2 will be set 10 years after the original film and in Europe.
The 45-year-old actor, who starred as male model Derek Zoolander in the 2001 comedy movie about a group of fashionistas taking on an evil businessman, reveals the script has been completed for the sequel and "a lot has happened" since the first film, with Derek and Owen Wilson's character Hansel no longer relevant on the fashion scene.
Where it's at is we've completed the script, Justin Theroux and I, and handed it into the studio. Now the studio has the script and we're at that point where we're waiting to see what they want to do. It's ten years later and most of it is set in Europe. I don't want to give away too much, but it's basically Derek and Hansel ten years later - though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime. Their lives have changed and they're not really relevant anymore. It's a new world for them."

Sandra Bullock Gets Extremely Loud?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Casting, Celeb News, Filmmaking, Rumors, Scripts,
Sandra Bullock is in negotiations to star in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
The 46-year-old star, who this year won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in The Blind Side, is in talks alongside Tom Hanks to star in the project, an adaptation of the 2005 dramatic novel by Jonathan Safran Foer.
If Bullock signs on to star in the movie, it will be her first film since her Academy Award-winning performance. The film tells the tale of an intelligent nine year old - who has yet to be cast in the Stephen Daldry-directed project - who begins searching for a lock to match a key given to him by his father prior to his death in the New York terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Bullock and Hanks would play the child’s parents in the movie, which if locked would see them filming in January 2011. Screenwriter Eric Roth has adapted the book, which Scott Rudin being lined up to produce.
Angelina Jolie Wanted Mr. and Mrs. Smith Sequel
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Romance, Comedy, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Scripts,
Angelina Jolie wanted to star in a Mr. & Mrs. Smith sequel, but there was no original plot idea. The actress, who met Brad Pitt on the set of the 2005 movie, admits she and the actor had considered reprising their roles as married assassins but were not happy with any of the potential storylines they were presented with.
“People have tried to come up with a sequel. And it’s strange: do we have kids in the movie? We’ve thought about that, but it becomes personal now that we actually have kids. And if we work on it, we pull from our own life, which is funny to us, but you feel strange sharing too much. We did ask somebody to look into Mr. & Mrs. to see if they could crack a sequel, but there wasn’t anything original. It was just, Well, they’re going to get married, or they’ve got kids, or they get separated. Never great.”
The Salt star, however, admitted she would love to work with Brad again, but doesn’t think people would want to see them play a couple:

Don Cheadle Says Iron Man 2 Was Mostly Improv
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Filmmaking, New Releases, Rumors, Scripts,
Much like how Jeff Bridges claimed that he didn’t have a script to work on for the first Iron Man film, actor Don Cheadle (War Machine) says that things haven’t changed for the sequel.
“No, there wasn’t [a locked-in script]... To be honest, We did improv a lot. We were very often sort of on a journey of discovery in the scenes, trying to find out where we were, who we were, what it was going to be.”

Spider-Man 4 Delayed
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sony, Action, Adventure, Sequels, Filmmaking, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Spider-Man 4 may not make its scheduled release date of May 11, 2011.
Despite having had four writers on the project (David Lindsay-Abaire, James Vanderbilt, Gary Ross and Alvin Sargent), the script still isn’t finished. Finished, heck - according to gossip, the director (Sam Raimi) and the studio (Sony) can’t even agree on the plot.
Currently, it looks like Spidey’s next adventure will have to wait until late summer 2011.

Inglourious Basterds Prequel Possibly in the Works
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Weinstein Company, Action, Horror, Period, Political, Sequels, Thrillers, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Rumors, Scripts,
With one of the world’s most vied-for actors at your command and scoring an impressive $38 million at the box office, it’s nearly impractical for Quentin Tarantino to not pursue another Inglourious Basterds film.
According to Eli Roth, the chances are pretty good.
“Everybody would drop whatever they’re doing to go back to work with Quentin… All the time, Brad says, ‘Prequel, prequel!’ All the ‘basterds’ would jump on it in a second. We have three scenes that we shot in Boston that take place before the war, and Quentin says if he does the prequel, he’s going to use them. They’re not going to be DVD extras.”
Without spilling too many secrets, Roth briefly describes one of the scenes, which features a rather random cameo…

500 Days of Summer Without the Script
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fox Searchlight, Independent, Romance, Comedy, Celeb News, Filmmaking, New Releases, Scripts, Videos,
The cute overload that is 500 Days of Summer continues, as stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel performed an impromptu, short version of how the film would be without a script.
Set to present an award to the film’s screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, Gordon-Levitt and Deschanel ditched the teleprompter and offered a silent skit of the elevator/Smiths scene. Then the pair realized that they wouldn’t have had stage directions without a script and redid the scene appropriately (albeit, quite boring and proving a good point).
It’s nice to see actors who appreciate those other people working on a film.

Spider-Man Writer Announced
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Columbia Pictures, Sony, Action, Adaptation, Romance, Sequels, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Just as Sony is in the midst of prepping Spider-Man 4 for filming, the studio made little hesitation with Spider-Man 5 and Spider-Man 6 by hiring Zodiac writer James Vanderbilt to pen the scripts.
Vanderbilt isn’t new to the Spider-Man films—he wrote the initial script for Spider-Man 4, which was later revised by Inkheart screenwriter David Lindsay-Abaire (Seabiscuit writer/director Gary Ross is currently revising that script).
Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios clearly have faith in Vanderbilt, whose ideas director Sam Raimi didn’t necessarily embrace (leading him to rewrite). Nonetheless, he has now been given a second chance with the scripts for the fifth and sixth installations, which are expected to have an interconnected storyline. With that said, executives are planning to use Vanderbilt’s two scripts as a franchise reboot in case Raimi and stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst do not return.
While I find it amusing that they’re considering a reboot for the series, I admire that they’re wasting no time in seeing these films made. Let’s just hope that the producers can assure the involvement of the Spidey trio in all of them!

Spider-Man 4 Script Still Being Rewritten
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Columbia Pictures, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Sequels, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
The script for the fourth film in the Spider-Man franchise is being rewritten…again. Originally penned by James Vanderbilt and then rewritten by David Lindsay-Abaire, the pages are now in the hands of Gary Ross.
In his career, Ross has directed Seabiscuit and Pleasantville. Both films, interestingly, starred Tobey Maguire, who plays the title role in the Spidey movies.
The fourth film is scheduled to go into production early next year…provided, of course, there’s a finished script by that time.
