Exclusive: Iconic Hollywood producer and former studio head Robert Evans has partnered with Television 360 to develop a pay cable TV series about Hollywood in the 1970s. They’ve made a deal with Fox 21, and Evans is exec producing with Guymon Casady, Dean Schnider, Scott Lambert and Brett Ratner. They are out to writers right now. The vision of the series is much darker than the contemporary inside Hollywood depicted in Entourage. Set in the ’70s with a creative tone similar to Casino, it involves the last days before studios were taken over by conglomerates, when they were run by wily entrepreneurs, and where there was a mob influence, drugs, sex, excess, casting couches, and some of the best movies made in the 20th century. The protagonist is an outsider who against the odds rises to become a king in Hollywood in a tale of power, legacy, and the American dream.

Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions (“Spwa”) has acquired Grace, the horror-thriller from Automatik, Oddfellows Entertainment and Colony Pictures.

There is either a couple of football fans or Jerry Maguire/Moneyball with this year’s most liked unproduced screenplay. Close to 300 hundred film executives provided with the Black List creators a top ten of their favorite screenplays of the year and the consensus first overall pick (with 65 votes) comes from the recently featured in Variety (10 Screenwriters to Watch 2012) tandem of Rajiv Joseph & Scott Rothman and their drama which has nothing to do with enlisting in the armed forces. Draft Day – about the day in the life of a fictitious Buffalo Bills Gm appears to currently be in turnaround — which only means I expect to see this greenlight perhaps a little later than sooner – worth noting: top spot almost guarantees that the film will indeed go into production (2006, 2010 and 2011 are the exceptions.) Among the more alluring logline subjects we find on the list, I’d be keen on reading the...

Universal is in negotiations to acquire the screen rights to "Hero Factory", a 2010 line of robotic toy sets from Lego says Heat Vision.
Unlike other lego toys, the 'Hero' line-up comes with a dense mythology built in with various characters "hailing from a planet where a factory churns out robotic machines whose goal is to fight intergalactic evil".
"Predators" scribes Michael Finch and Alex Litvak are in negotiations to pen the script which would be a live-action adaptation and distinct from the more regular Lego inspired CGI-animated feature in production at Warner Bros. Pictures.
Mark Gordon, Bryan Zuriff, Ben Forkner and Dean Schnider will produce.
