Exclusive: Conde Nast Entertainment Group, which launched under Dawn Ostroff to mine feature and TV properties from the archives of the publisher’s magazine stable, has unearthed two separate projects. Run by former Imagine and Fox Searchlight exec Jeremy Steckler, the feature division has set Fracture scribe Daniel Pyne to script The Camorra Never Sleeps, a drama about the notorious Naples-based criminal underworld that is based on the 2012 Vanity Fair article written by William Langewiesche. Conde Nast Entertainment Group has separately hired Reservation Road scribe John Burnham Schwartz to script a film based on The Horse Whisperer, a 2002 GQ article written by Robert Draper. The movie will certainly need a new title, but the article is based on the long-shot journey of Wesley Keith Ritchie, who went from a Kentucky prison inmate to being a horse rehabilitation specialist who found salvation through the broken down progeny of Triple Crown winner Affirmed. »

An Oscar nominee for writing "The Fisher King," Richard Lagravenese has cultivated an ongoing reputation as a go-to source for cultivated adaptations of that the uncultivated might call "chick-lit," ranging from "The Horse Whisperer" to "The Bridges of Madison County" to "Water for Elephants." [We would never put Lagravenese in a "chick lit" corner, since "Beloved" and "The Little Princess" are clearly much more than that.] With the new teen supernatural romance "Beautiful Creatures," Lagravenese is working with material which might -- again, this would only be a gross generalization -- be thought to skew more toward female viewers, but »

Michael Haneke's latest story of an octogenarian nursing his dying wife is brave and beautiful, but beware if you're over the age of 60
Art house cinemas attract a clientele that is fairly advanced in age. This is especially true during the day and during the winter when everyone else is still at work. Given the type of fare that art houses specialise in, patrons take in a steady diet of films about foundering string quartets, courageous Afghan songbirds, iconoclastic pedagogues, the French.
But because they shun the trashy fare at multiplexes, and because not all foreign or independent movies are life-affirming paeans to mysterious folksingers and lovable pickpockets, art house patrons also end up seeing a fair number of movies about socially maladjusted wrestlers, murderous tyrants, incompetent drug dealers, and young women who lose their lower legs thanks to the hijinks of frisky orcas. Sometimes these audiences get more than they bargained for. »
