I’m not sure how much of a “debut” this will prove to be for Andy Serkis — the guy’s got some heavy-lifting at the moment with second unit work on The Hobbit, if you don’t remember — but we all know that the multi-faceted talent can do whatever the hell we wants. And ScreenDaily informs us that he will indeed take the plunge with his “passion project,” which has Sam Tromans and his Sts producing. Along with Jonathan Cavendish, Serkis will produce through his own company, Imaginarium.
Currently untitled, the drama is “a period love story” that, somehow, could be described as “The English Patient up a mountain.” (Should we even take Tromans‘ note of “a fantastic script with a great female role” as anything other than sage council? I think not.) Who knows what that all might entail; just consider me interested as a regular admirer of his great work.

As someone who has seen every episode of "Smallville," I'm allowed to say this: the show got pretty terrible in its final days, in large part due to the departure of Michael Rosenbaum (aka Lex Luthor) from the series. Rosenbaum also has ties to other superhero properties, providing voice work for animated series like "Justice League," "Static Shock," and "Batman Beyond." But it looks like he's separating himself from genre work for the time being, as Deadline reports the actor is pulling triple duties on a new film called Old Days - writing, starring and directing. More on the plot and which "Firefly" actress will star alongside him ahead. The film will follow Jim Owens (Rosenbaum), a discouraged actor who returns home to Indiana for his 15th high school reunion. There he gets into mischief with his friends and falls for his high school sweetheart. Morena Baccarin, the actress who...
