Samurai Jack, son of an emperor who was defeated by an evil wizard. Jack
trains for revenge, but the wizard sends him into the future through a time
portal and the samurai spends his moments trying to get back in time to free
his family, fighting the wizard's followers.

* David Koepp will write the first draft of SPIDER-MAN 2 based on his own
idea for the project for Columbia Pictures, temporarily setting aside his
adaptation of Stephen King's TWO PAST MIDNIGHT: SECRET WINDOW, SECRET
GARDEN. Scribes Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (SHANGHAI NOON) were
originally set to write the sequel, but will first wait for Koepp's draft
and begin working from there. The sequel has a January start date set for a
May 7, 2004 release.

* New Zealand filmmaker Christine Jeffs will make a feature adaptation of
the Richard Ford novel WILDLIFE. The story is set in Montana and centers on
a teen, his family and their attempts to find a better life.

school, which is still run by the principal who swore revenge on them as
kids.

series LEMONY SNICKET'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS fore Nickelodeon
Movies. SNICKET creator Daniel Handler is writing the script for producer
Scott Rudin. The series is about three orphans names Sunny, Klaus and Violet

obviously trying to keep them from a family inheritance.

* Jim Kouf (SNOW DOGS) will write the Jamie Foxx golf comedy INGLE WOODS for
New Line.

* Griffin Dunne is in final talks to direct THE JANE PLAN for Disney. It's
about a devoted assistant of a real estate magnate who takes her for
granted. When she quits as he's working on his most important deal, his

Decter (THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY) wrote the script with Ron Burch and
David Kidd.

* Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga of
AMORES PERROS will make a follow-up entitled 21 GRAMS (a reference to the
amount of weight the human body loses upon death). The drama attributes that

the fall.

* Mark Schwahn will write OLD SCHOOL: THE KEN CARTER STORY for Paramount,
MTV Films and Tollin/Robbins Prods. Paramount purchased the rights to the

Kripke and Eric Gewirtz.

write THE 300 SPARTANS, an epic about elite Greek warriors who held off a
million Persian invaders in the Battle of Thermoplyae. Universal is

comedy pitch by Molly McAlpine (NUMBER ONE GIRL) at Intermedia Films.

* Phoenix Pictures has purchased the screen rights to the Agatha Christie
novel DESTINATION UNKNOWN to be developed into a feature with a contemporary
setting. Nic Osborne is writing the adaptation. The story centers on a young
woman who, after traumatic family events, resolves to kill herself. A
ruthless CIA operative persuades her instead to become part of a suicide
mission, but when the woman gets caught by the bad guys, she suddenly finds
a purpose in life.

* Rod Lurie will write an untitled project revolving around the media world
in contemporary New York for DreamWorks and Steven Spielberg, who will
supervise the script's development with an eye toward directing.

written by Gina Wendkos, who penned the original.

* New Line Cinema picked up the pitch LEAVENWORTH from scribe Jason Keller.

epic THE FOUNTAIN (aka THE LAST MAN) with Brad Pitt attached to star and
Darren Aronofsky set to direct from a script he co-wrote with Ari Handel.
New Regency replaces Village Roadshow Pictures as a co-financier on the pic.

after grabbing the feature rights to the 1960s cartoon series of the same
name. The broad comedy centers on an inept watchdog transformed into a
superhero after being accidentally exposed to an experimental elixir.

* Producer Arthur Sarkissian has optioned remake rights to the 1961 pic EL
CID. It's about war-torn Spain during the 12th century and a lord who became
one of the greatest heroes of all time, calling upon Christians and Moors to

Until next week...

    Hugh Jackman as Abraham Van Helsing!

    by brashhulk

    I'd like to see this if it gets off the ground. Jackman is a pretty good actor and has great stunt chops, and I'd really love to see them play Van Helsing as a bad-ass vampire hunter/killer. A director like Alex Proyas could turn this into an old-school dark, moody, gothic scare-fest. Here's hoping that a decent script is attached!

    is this a joke? Surely if he wanted to make a mainstream action film he'd have done it by now?

    And does anyone else think that the Garner project sounds uncannily like Big?

    A few interesting ones: Count Olaf, that Stephen Rea thriller, 2 roman epics (betcha only one will get made, though), Pitt/Aronofsky is an intriguing combination too.

    5tone's 2cents...

    by tommy5tone

    no one - i say, NO ONE - is immune to the seductive charms of jerry bruckheimer! i was somewhat taken aback when john "insufferably self-righteous and PC since 1986" cusack ended up with bruckheimer on his breath after appearing in 'con air', but that pales into insignificance when stacked up against johnny "no logo" depp starring in not one BUT TWO bruckheimer blockbusters! 'pirates of the caribbean'? hmmmm. could work, actually. rossio & elliott ('the mask of zorro') are working on the script, verbinski's not an absolute hack and pirate movies - as we all know - have the potential to kick ass (unless they star geena davis and matthew modine...MATTHEW MODINE? what the fuck were you thinking, renny? ahem, let's move on). 'takedown' - i dunno about this. reeks of 'mcbain', if you ask me. and who's this haussman guy? the final analysis: depp seems like a pretty smart and passionate guy; i'm sure he won't let the bruckheimer experience taint him completely. he'll make a little money, maybe raise his profile a bit, go back to arthouse and offbeat when the mood takes him. cool*****what's all this live action/animation combo business? has there ever been a good one? (and i'm including 'who framed roger rabbit', which never really did much for me). this 'looney tunes: back in business' mightn't completely blow, mainly because joe dante's at the helm and brendan fraser's in the lead. dante knows his looney tunes stuff, and fraser is agile and imaginative enough to pull off co-starring alongside toons (after seeing 'scooby-doo', i'd say matthew lillard could do likewise...i can't stand that overactive ham but he was fucking good as shaggy). the big question: they can do it but SHOULD they?*****'hidalgo' - as long as it's in the 'black stallion' vein, it could have a chance. and viggo's usually a safe bet for quality (did you not see 'american yakuza'?)*****i'm a little worried abour ed norton. look at those 'red dragon' pics and - as one astute talkbacker pointed out - he's wearing freddie prinze jr's 'scooby-doo' wig. will graham with a blond mullet? WTF? and now this 'italian job' thing? "mr norton, will you hold for mr bruckheimer on line 2? he wishes to discuss a supporting role in a pirate movie"*****'under the tuscan sun' = martha stewart-esque good taste/lifestyle porn. but i'm getting old, and i'm kinda into that sort of thing*****'highwaymen'? no thanks, already saw 'the wraith' back in the day. good lord, caviezel, you can do better than this, can't you?*****stiller + black + levinson = cool. cool + walken = shit yeah. shit yeah + amy poehler = i am SO there. 'envy'. dig it*****ewan and renee in the leads was a good start. and peyton reed did pretty well with 'bring it on'. but this comedy's supporting cast? the annoying sarah paulson? the kinda one-note david hyde pierce? and now the curvaceous but not-all-that-inspiring jeri ryan (AKA "the white halle berry")? hmmmmm. i'd like to be proven wrong about these people, but i haven't been so far*****'molly gunn' seemed like it could have been a US version of 'amelie' in the right hands but casting amber dempsey - oops, i mean dakota fanning - is a step in the wrong direction. seriously though, can't you just see fanning giving frightening conviction to amber's immortal line "when i grow up, i want to be a sweetiepie"? this ChildStar version 2.0 creeps the absolute fuck outta me in a way i haven't experienced since the glory days of hallie kate eisenberg*****lemme get this right: 13 y.o. girl goes into closet, comes out as 30 y.o. woman, is automatically popular with all the kids in school. HUH? if she went in looking like the afore-mentioned hallie kate (who's fuckin' ugly, no two ways about it) and came out looking like, i dunno, alexis bledel or some other teen cutie - THIS i could buy. but "goes in as teen, comes out as statuesque older babe"? ain't happening, makers of '13 going on 30', even with jennifer garner in the lead*****'van helsing'...ah, 'van helsing'. i freely admit to heaping hot buttered scorn on this idea when elston gunn first flagged it. sounded like more of the same stephen sommers PG-13 crap. but the announcement that jackman might take the lead fanned the flames of imagination, my friends and fellow geeks. what if this turned out cool? what if sommers got some of his 'deep rising' gusto back? what if this kicked off a nifty kind of franchise, a supernatural 'indiana jones' series? god, i'd love it if that was the case. i'd love it if sommers used CGI to enhance a good story rather than pad out a bland one. i'd love it if jackman made van helsing a wolverine-style badass, a man of scars and secrets...not an anachronistic puss who drops stale-ass one-liners like "i've got a bad feeling about this". man, lemme tell ya, i've got an R-rated 70mm 'brotherhood of the wolf'-inspired director's cut of 'van helsing' running in my head right now, and i'm gonna be superpissed if sommers' end product doesn't correspond*****sad news of the week: brett ratner's 'samurai jack' = no chance of ever seeing darren aronofsky's film version of frank miller's 'ronin'. damn*****'coyote ugly 2: coyote fugly'? i've no desire to see this movie but i can't help but be intrigued - what would the story involve?*****an open memo to steven spielberg: dude, just saw 'minority report' - pretty cool stuff. seems like you're back on track, so don't mess it up by associating yourself with that untalented fuckwad rod lurie. 'the contender' was the worst kind of pretentious dreck, and 'the last castle' was even more hideous than that. that's all for now. your pal, five-tone*****OK, if barry sonnenfeld can bring his 'addams family' stylings to the lemony snicket 'unfortunate incidents' books, we might have something here. just remember, scott rudin, the script is the key. don't expect to get by on quirky visuals alone*****joel schumacher does 'a star is born'? gee, i'd never have put those two together!*****antonio banderas is 'el cid'. (end of discussion.) and how about mctiernan to direct? (this topic open to discussion.)*****any major dude will tell you...now five-tone has too (at great length - sorry about that, folks).

    This is the place to steal ideas from no doubt about it.

    by bari umenema

    Some of you guys have been ripped off on these boards because you post really good ideas in your Talkbacks to impress all the other geeks here and the good ideas are read by unscrupulous Hollywood lowlifes such as no- talent brain-dead writers and despicable development executives who troll these boards specifically looking for stealable ideas. If you post something on the internet then it is pretty much public domain right then and there which means anybody can steal your idea. Be careful what you post on these cool boards because if it's a good idea it will be stolen very quickly and you'll read about the sale of your idea without you on Elston's weekly recap.
