New Line Cinema has recently acquired the rights to famed screenwriter Zach Helm’s original script The Naughty One. The action-comedy will be developed by New Line for HBO Max, and apparently, the production company had to battle quite a competition to grab the pitch. Known for writing scripts and stories with a variety of flavors, it is no wonder that a pitch from Zach Helm will cause some sort of a bidding war between production houses....

While Darren Aronofsky prepares to shoot the highly anticipated Marvel Comics adaptation one-off The Wolverine, he is also gearing up to publish a four-part graphic novel series titled Noah. The mini-series will be a sci-fi adaptation of Noah’s Ark from The Book of Genesis with art from Nico Henrichon. Darren Aronofsky’s hope is to turn this illustrated, biblical reboot into his next project. And his inspirations, oddly enough, sprang from watching the 1976 Sunn Pictures documentary In Search of Noah’s Ark as a kid, of which he says, “I’m a huge fan....

This isn’t an April Fool’s Day joke, and similar tactics didn’t work out so well for Donald Glover when he made it publicly known that he wanted to be Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man. But that isn’t stopping Patrick Dempsey from launching a campaign to play Doctor Strange. The actor is hoping to play the character in either a TV series or a feature film in a move to distance himself a little bit from his popular Grey’s Anatomy character....

At the time, many fans who enjoyed their chemistry were calling for the two to get their own spinoff show in the vein of The X-Files with Jimmy and Darcy investigating bizarre mysteries in the MCU....

The Legend of Bloody Mary proves to be an object lesson in truly bad timing. Based at least tangentially on the legend of Bloody Mary (hence the title), it’s basically the story of the legend in a world where this kind of thing actually happens. And of course when the legend gets to its absolute extension, the result is predictable enough and a demon/monster/ ghost/something or other that lives in the mirror starts turning kids into hamburger....

The Good This is the kind of release that should make fans of this film do a big seventh inning stretch. The Bad Packaging makes it hard to fit normally into a collection or a metal rack of DVDS. (Well, I had to think of something!) Major League: Wild Thing Edition is the kind of release that fans of this film are going to love. When Rachel Phelps (Margaret Whitton) inherits the Cleveland Indians, she decides it would be in her best financial interest to move the team to Miami....

Last night I hit the red carpet for the Season 2 premiere of The Killing, which debuts on AMC Sunday, April 1. I got to chat with series star Mireille Enos, who also talked about her upcoming zombie movie World War Z. We reported earlier this month that World War Z was being pushed from Christmas 2012 to an undetermined Summer 2013 release. I asked her when we might see the first trailer, but, alas, she doesn’t know, even if she is just as eager as us to see it....
