25 April 2013 4:26 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Cable net AMC’s new slogan is “Something More”, and I guess they really mean it. The network is expanding past the straight drama stuff and into heavy genre fare lately, with the acquisition of shows like Joseph Kosinski’s “Ballistic City” and now, what is sure to be a conspiracy-laden show in “Line of Sight”. (Wait, didn’t they already try this with “Rubicon”? And didn’t the network cancel that show after only one season? I smell conspiracy!) Speaking of “Rubicon”, the upcoming “Line of Sight” is from producer Blake Masters, one of the guys behind, you guessed it, “Rubicon”. “Line of Sight” is the story of Lewis Bernt, a National Transportation Safety Board (Ntsb) investigator who survives a mysterious plane crash, bringing him on a quest to discover the accident’s cause. “Line of Sight” is the genre-bending odyssey of one man, who, after surviving a plane »

Encouraged by the success of its recent time-bending experiments on Mad Men, AMC is now considering its first genuine foray into science-fiction, depending on whether you consider zombies or the demand for another season of The Killing to fall within the realm of science fiction. Regardless, its new pilot order Line Of Sight is its most recognizably science-fiction show yet, with producer Blake Masters (of Brotherhood and Rubicon) heading up the genre-blurring conspiracy thriller about “Lewis Bernt, a National Transportation Safety Board (Ntsb) investigator who survives a mysterious plane crash, bringing him on a quest to discover the accident's »

The First Trailer and Poster for 2 Guns with Mark Wahlberg & Denzel Washington
30 March 2013 2:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
After working together back on last year’s Contraband, Mark Wahlberg and director Baltasar Kormákur are reteaming this year to bring 2 Guns to the big screen. And with Denzel Washington starring opposite Wahlberg this time around, the film is shaping up to be one of the summer’s biggest blockbusters.
We got our first look at Wahlberg and Washington earlier in the year. And with its August release date fast approaching, the first trailer and poster have debuted over on Apple.
Academy Award(R) winner Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg lead an all-star cast in 2 Guns, an explosive action film that tracks two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on the run together. But there is a big problem with their unique alliance: Neither knows that the other is an undercover federal agent.
Wahlberg and Washington are joined by a great cast, led by Paula Patton, James Marsden, Bill Paxton, »

29 March 2013 6:48 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Ed Solomon, the writer behind Men In Black, has been hired to rewrite Colossus, a project set to star Will Smith. You may have heard of him.
You may have also heard of the film (and the book), which is a remake based on a 1970 movie entitled Colossus: The Forbin Project. The film has been in development since 2007 and has had Jason Rothenberg and Blake Masters twiddle with the script before Solomon will get his chance. Colossus would have Will Smith play Dr. Charles Forbin, “who is the creator of a computer that has taken over the world and is the only scientist who can stop it.”

Three Projects Headed To AMC’s Annual Pilot Script Showcase
28 March 2013 3:25 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
I hear top AMC brass will be in Los Angeles next week for the network’s annual round of producer meetings where the writers/producers behind scripts identified by the cable network as its strongest pilot contenders are invited to present their projects. The pilot script showcase, nicknamed by agents and producers “bake-off,” includes a series of presentations, in which the auspices of the selected projects lay out their vision for their show beyond the pilot with the help of visual aids, including demo reels. I hear the scripts that made it to this year’s event include dramas Raiders, from writer Evan Wright (Generation Kill) and Scott Free; and Line Of Sight, from Brotherhood creator Blake Masters and Fox TV Studios; and comedy We Hate Paul Revere, from writer-actors Ethan Sandler and Adrian Wenner (Whitney). Raiders, exec produced by Wright, Ridley Scott and David Zucker, takes place during World War II. »

Ed Solomon Comes On To Rewrite "Colossus"
17 March 2013 6:52 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
"Men in Black" scribe Ed Solomon has been hired to pen a rewrite of "Colossus" at Universal Pictures. Will Smith is attached to star.
The story is a remake of the 1970's "Colossus: The Forbin Project", based on a book by D.F. Jones, and is something of a precursor to "The Terminator."
The story deals with a supercomputer being built for the government as a means of protection. The computer becomes sentient and decides that the most effective way it can act as protector is to assume complete control.
Blake Masters and Jason Rothenberg penned the earlier drafts which would use the previous film along with elements of the two subsequent "Colossus" novels.

The Colossus super computer has taken over the world and only one man can stop it: Will Smith! But before he can embark on this remake of the 1970 Imagine Entertainment sci-fi thriller Colossus: The Forbin Project, Bill & Ted 3 and Men In Black writer Ed Solomon (known as the evil De Nomolos to some) will have to redraft the current screenplay, which was originally penned by Blake Masters (2 Guns) with contributions from Jason Rothenberg.
The studio is currently keeping the story details of Colossus a secret. Will Smith will play Dr. Charles Forbin, a role originated by Eric Braeden (Titanic; Mr. Mom). In the original, Dr. Forbin is the creator of an artificially intelligent hyper-communication electronic media distribution system that grows to have a mind of its own and plots to kill off all of mankind. Just as in I Am Legend, Will Smith's Forbin is one of the few »
