Divorce Movies: How unhappily-ever-after makes for great viewing
4 May 2013 10:58 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Iron Man 3 opens this weekend with plenty of giant explosions to delight audiences and usher in the unofficial start of the Summer Movie. But in other multiplexes there’s another film down the hall, What Maisie Knew, that tells a very different but every bit as destructive story.Henry James wrote the story this film — directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel — is based upon in 1897. That his tale of a divorced, selfish pair of parents who use their young daughter spitefully in order to hurt the other still feels realistic and resonates over a century later is either »

'Easy A' Director Will Gluck To Explore The Disappearance Of 'Agatha' Christie
6 March 2013 9:54 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Back in 1920s England, the turnover of celebrity news was so glacial it would have put the modern Daily Mail out of business. So when it was reported that Agatha Christie, darling of bloodthirsty readers everywhere, had disappeared in the kind of mysterious circumstances one needs Poirot to investigate, a nation collectively held its breath. Christie had vanished upon discovering her husband’s infidelity, and, given her history of depression, a well-publicised manhunt was instigated. She resurfaced ten days later in a Yorkshire hotel, but in the absence of any later explanation, the events of her hiatus became the subject of widespread speculation. Nearly a century later, a spec script by Allison Schroeder (who carries a strike against her for the abominable “Mean Girls 2”), which fictionalises the events of the missing days, has been purchased by Paramount Pictures. Pitched, a little bizarrely, as “a female Sherlock Holmes meets ‘Romancing the Stone »

Easy A Director to Take on Agatha Christie Action Film
6 March 2013 9:30 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Will Gluck (Easy A, Friends with Benefits) is set to direct a new film called Agatha at Paramount Pictures. The movie was written by Allison Schroeder (Mean Girls 2) and it's described as an action adventure film, which surmises what really happened to Agatha Christie during the 11 days she went missing in 1926.
There aren't many other details on the film's plot, but tonally it is described as a "female Sherlock Holmes meets Romancing The Stone." Gluck will take on the project when he's finished directing Sony's 2014 remake of the Broadway musical Annie which is being produced by Will Smith and Jay Z, and stars Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) in the title role.

Paramount is Sherlocking Agatha Christie with Will Gluck
6 March 2013 7:00 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
In 1926, mystery writer Agatha Christie disappeared for 11 days. She returned, but never explained what happened. A few writers have tried to fictionally solve that mystery, and now, according to Deadline Hollywood, Paramount is set to purchase Agatha, a spec script from Allison Schroeder (Mean Girls 2) that turns those 11 days into an action adventure. The article claims that the tone of the screenplay is “a female Sherlock Holmes meets Romancing the Stone.” Plus, Will Gluck (Easy A, Friends with Benefits) is set to direct. It’s unclear right now what relationship this project has to the 1979 movie of the same name where Vanessa Redgrave plays Christie during the 11-day disappearance, although it’s highly doubtful the new take will focus on Christie plotting revenge on her unfaithful husband. Or that it will borrow from the Doctor Who episode where Christie helps solve a mystery involving a giant killer wasp at her own house party. Still »

Will Gluck to direct Paramount's 'Agatha'
5 March 2013 9:15 PM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Easy A director Will Gluck has been tapped to helm Paramount's Agatha.
Agatha started out as a spec screenplay from newcomer Allison Schroeder.
Gluck will take on the film, which explores the days leading up to the death of famed mystery novelist Agatha Christie, Deadline reports.
Additional plot details are currently being kept under wraps.
The film is said to be inspired by the likes of both Sherlock Holmes and Romancing the Stone.
Mary Parent and Cale Boyter of Disruption Entertainment are slated to produce Agatha, along with Chris Bender, Jake Weiner and Jc Spink of Benderspink.
Aside from Gluck's attachment to Agatha, the director is also on board Annie where he will re-write the script for Sony.
Annie, which stars Oscar nominee Quvenzhané Wallis, is due to be released on Christmas Day 2014. »
Gluck Explores "Agatha" Christie's Vanishing
5 March 2013 8:54 PM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Will Gluck is attached to direct a film version of Allison Schroeder's action adventure spec script "Agatha" at Paramount Pictures.
The film explores the eleven days that celebrated author Agatha Christie went missing in 1926 after quarrelling with her husband who wanted a divorce. Despite a massive manhunt, she was not found until a week and a half later at a hotel in Yorkshire.
Christie never accounted for her disappearance, and she was diagnosed as suffering from psychogenic fugue. Most thought it was a publicity stunt, and evidence since has only cemented that opinion.
Still, it makes for good storytelling potential and has been exploited before such as in a 2008 episode of "Doctor Who". Story details of this film are being kept under wraps, but the tone is said to be described as a female "Sherlock Holmes" meets "Romancing The Stone".
Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Chris Bender, Jake Weiner and Jc Spink are producing. »

Will Gluck Tracks Down Agatha
5 March 2013 4:05 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Agatha Christie: adventurous hero? We’re not sure we see it either, but Paramount Pictures clearly can. The studio has bought Allison Schroeder’s spec screenplay Agatha, about a particular period in the legendary mystery writer's life, and Easy A’s Will Gluck is attached to direct. Despite all of her success in mystery publishing, possibly the biggest conundrum surrounding Christie is what really happened when she went missing for 10 days in 1926. The day that her husband left to spend time with his mistress, Christie disappeared from home, turning up more than a week later as a guest at the Swan Hydropathic Hotel in Yorkshire. She never accounted for her disappearance, though one theory involved a mysterious traveller and giant wasps. What Schroder’s script invents is being kept a secret for now, though Deadline has heard it described as Sherlock Holmes meets Romancing The Stone.Gluck already has »

Director Will Gluck (Easy A, Friends with Benefits) has signed on to direct Agatha for Paramount Pictures. Allison Schroeder wrote the spec screenplay.

Mary Parent and Cale Boyter are producing for Disruption Entertainment, alongside Benderspink's Chris Bender, J.C. Spink, and Jake Weiner.
Will Gluck recently signed on to write and direct the Annie remake for Sony, which stars Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild). »

Danny DeVito: 'No one is going to forget the 5ft guy'
27 February 2013 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
From Taxi to Twins, Danny DeVito is one of Hollywood's most recognisable figures. He talks about family, hairdressing and arguing over politics with Schwarzenegger
Holy moly, it's Danny DeVito! One of the most ubiquitous actors of the 1980s and 90s, and certainly the most physically distinctive, is standing in a blandly corporate hotel room in Whitehall, of all random places a stone's throw away from No 10 Downing Street.
"Hey, I'm Danny, nice to meetcha, thanks for coming," he says in a New Jersey accent that makes him sound a little like a comedy sidekick from The Sopranos.
Few actors have ever looked like they're having as much fun as DeVito. From playing Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner's whirling dervish of an evil nemesis in Romancing the Stone, to sniping at Arnold Schwarzenegger in Twins, to waddling through his lair as the demonic Penguin in Batman Returns, DeVito has been »

Douglas, Rudd, Aniston, and Foxx: 85th Academy Awards ceremony presenters Paul Rudd, Jennifer Aniston, and Best Actor Academy Award winners Jamie Foxx and Michael Douglas will be presenters at the 85th Academy Awards show, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have said.

Zemeckis Kills All But One Remake Rumor
17 January 2013 9:46 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Out doing the international press rounds for "Flight," filmmaker Robert Zemeckis has squashed online reports of possible remakes and sequels to all his back catalogue of films - all except one.
Online chatter in recent months has seen talk of a sequel to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," and maybe even a reboot of "Back to the Future." Don't believe it, the only thing we might see though is a new look Joan Wilder.
"They are all Internet Bs except 'Romancing the Stone'. Probably. I know there are plans for them to remake that but I don’t know if they are actually doing it or not yet. That has nothing to do with me. The rest… it’s all… I don’t even know what it is."
Asked if all that other talk was hopeful movie geek chatter, he laughed and responded: "Yeah, exactly… that’s what it is. »

Robert Zemeckis has trashed talk about his involvement in a rumoured return for beloved character Roger Rabbit, in a sequel to his 1988 groundbreaking classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit. There has also been speculation that a reboot or remake of time-travelling family favourite, Back To The Future, was on the way, which the director also dismissed while promoting his latest movie – the Oscar-nominated drama Flight.
Talking to Getty Image’s Entertainment Video team in London, he was asked about the projects, Zemeckis commented: They are all internet Bs except Romancing The Stone. Probably. I know there are plans for them to remake that but I don’t know if they are actually doing it or not yet. That has nothing to do with me. The rest… it’s all… I don’t even know what it is.” When he was asked if it was just “hopeful movie geek chatter” he laughed: Yeah, »
