Actor has been offered lead role in musical adaptation set to open in Leicester this autumn, according to reports
A musical adaptation of Finding Neverland will receive its world premiere at the Leicester Curve this autumn, with Gwyneth Paltrow rumoured to be leading the cast.
Rob Ashford, who recently won his fifth Olivier award for last year's Donmar Warehouse revival of Anna Christie, will direct the production, which is adapted from the Oscar-winning film that starred Johnny Depp as the author and playwright Jm Barrie.
Finding Neverland imagines the story behind Barrie's novel Peter Pan, as the author rediscovers his creative spark after meeting Sylvia Llewelyn Davies – played by Kate Winslet in the film – and her four sons.
Allan Knee, whose play The Man Who Was Peter Pan inspired the film in the first instance, will write the book with music and lyrics by Scott Frankel and Michael Korie. The production, »

Dr. Seuss Biopic to Bring Iconic Characters to Life Alongside Theodor Geisel
10 May 2012 10:40 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
The Untitled Dr. Seuss Project is set to bring the iconic characters created by Theodor Geisel to animated life alongside the children's author, who will be played by Johnny Depp in this big screen biopic.
The movie is being described as a cross between Finding Neverland and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, with The Cat In The Hat and The Lorax sharing screen time alongside a live-action Depp, pulling the audience inside Dr. Seuss' head to see his creative process at work.
Johnny Depp had this to say about the film.
"A lot of writers I know have a tendency to talk to themselves or talk as the character - and then talk as the other character. You know what I mean? They can have a whole dialogue with themselves. There's something interesting about bringing these characters to life and maybe even witnessing him have a relationship with them."

Picture a combination of Finding Neverland and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
That’s sort of what Johnny Depp has in mind for a new biopic of Dr. Seuss, a.k.a. Theodor Geisel, with the movie plunging into the imagination of the author to see his creative process unfold through interaction with his most famous characters.
“A lot of writers I know have a tendency to talk to themselves or talk as the character — and then talk as the other character. You know what I mean? They can have a whole dialogue with themselves,” Depp tells EW. “There’s something »

[Interview] ‘The Pirates! Band of Misfits’ Director Peter Lord Talks Flight of the Conchords, Benefits of Stop-Motion & More
27 April 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
I first fell in love with Aardman Animations when Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit arrived in 2005. Since then they’ve had some ups and downs but their latest is a gem. Co-founder Peter Lord is back in the director’s chair for The Pirates! Band of Misfits, which also marks their first foray into 3D. While that technology is still lacking effectiveness since the post-Avatar market, the film is still a delight. Last month I had the great pleasure of sitting down with Peter Lord for a roundtable interview. We touched on how he got a song from Flight of the Conchords into the film, using CG to populate the crowds, casting Hugh Grant as Pirate Captain, and much more.
The Film Stage: The first thing that jumps out at you about the movie is that it is such a complicated claymation thing. There is CGI elements and »

New image for Ang Lee's Life Of Pi
25 April 2012 9:08 AM, PDT | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
Yann Martel's 2001 novel Life Of Pi, an exploration of spirtuality through the tale of a young Indian boy stranded on a life boat with a bengal tiger, has received it's fair share of acclaim, winning the 2002 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, amongst others, and includes American president Barack Obama among it's many fans. He even wrote a letter to the author, describing the book as "an elegant proof of God, and the power of story telling". Plans for a film adaption of the book were set up in 2003, with M Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense), Alfonso Cuaron (Children Of Men), and Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie) all attached to direct at one point or another. The job finally went to Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain), working from a script by David Magee (Finding Neverland). The film promises to be a 3D visual treat, hoping to emulate last years Hugo.

First Look: Newcomer Suraj Sharma & His Bengal Tiger In Ang Lee's 'Life Of Pi'
25 April 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Adapting best-selling novels is never an easy job and, in the case of Ang Lee and "Life Of Pi," it's a task made only more difficult by the off-beat tale centering on the shipwrecked son of an Indian zookeeper who's stuck on a lifeboat with a 450-pound bengal tiger in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Perhaps that's why names like Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Alfonso Cuaron and M. Night Shyamalan have come and gone in their attempts to adapt Yann Martel's popular novel but, with Lee diving head first into the project in 3D no less, we now have our first look at the film featuring newcomer Suraj Sharma as Pi and his sizable, striped friend in their lifeboat.
Lee had previously implied that he would be using CGI animals and we have to say, it looks impressively real. Either way, when things reach shore in the David Magee ("Finding Neverland") script, »

Harvey Weinstein Makes Time 100 List, Obviously
18 April 2012 9:06 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The Time 100 list, Time magazine's annual countdown of the most influential people in the world, arrived on newsstands on Wednesday, and of course Harvey Weinstein made the cut.
Harvey had a tremendous year in 2011. The Weinstein Company CEO brought Best Picture-winning "The Artist" to American shores and helped Meryl Streep break her 29-year Oscar statuette drought by producing "The Iron Lady." Streep won Best Actress for playing Margaret Thatcher in the film, beating out Viola Davis, who also made the Time 100 list.
Weinstein has long been known for his cantankerous attitude, something Johnny Depp -- who wrote about Weinstein for the issue and starred in the Weinstein-produced "Finding Neverland" -- noted in his piece.
"No one gets to the top without the occasional scrap," wrote Depp. "While he's certainly the charming servant to film he purports to be, Harvey isn't afraid of a duke-'em-out. (I've had the pleasure of being »

Saving Mr Banks To Star Tom Hanks (And Emma Thompson)
10 April 2012 8:39 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Tom Hanks is close to signing up as Walt Disney in Saving Mr Banks, which concerns the making of Mary Poppins. Emma Thompson is also in negotiations to play Pl Travers, the author of the Poppins novels.
Disney are producing the feature, so it will be interesting to see how they handle the tumultuous relationship between Uncle Walt and Travers. The writer hated the screen adaptation, particularly the animated sequences. She claimed the Poppins character was watered down and nowhere near as harsh as she should have been, she didn’t much care for the songs and refused to ever let Disney adapt any more Poppins pieces.
We can’t quite guess what tone the film will take. A light hearted look at one of the most popular family films in history? Or hard hitting Oscar-bait about the betrayal of trust and intellectual proporty. And you never know, some people »

‘Cowboy Ninja Viking’ Lands at Universal, Snags ‘Monster’s Ball’ Director
29 February 2012 9:49 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
If you think Universal’s sci-fi/western mashup film Cowboys & Aliens had a silly title, you’re probably not going to think any better of of the studio’s upcoming project – an adaptation of the graphic novel Cowboy Ninja Viking.
Although the title may seem ridiculous, the project is being developed for the screen by some considerable talent. The script is apparently being handled by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, the minds behind Zombieland, G.I. Joe 2 and the highly-anticipated Deadpool movie – while directing duties are going to acclaimed director Marc Forester, best known for award-courting films like Monster’s Ball and Finding Neverland, as well as blockbusters like the little-loved James Bond film, Quantum of Solace and the much-debated upcoming adaptation of Max Brooks’ World War Z.
Cowboy Ninja Viking was released by Image ...

Comic Book Bites: Marc Forster to direct Cowboy Ninja Viking, Russell Crowe set to play Noah
28 February 2012 3:59 PM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Marc Forster is to direct the planned big-screen adaptation of graphic novel Cowboy Ninja Viking.
We reported back in November 2010 that Disney had bought the rights to the comic, in which a multiple-personality disorder patient becomes a deadly assassin. Zombieland scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were hired to work on the screenplay.
Since then, Disney decided to offload the project and it found a new home at Universal, with Deadline tonight breaking the news on the hiring of Forster (right) as director. His credits include Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland, The Kite Runner, Quantum of Solace and upcoming World War Z.
Also moving forward is Darren Aronofsky's $130million Noah movie for New Regency/Paramount. We had previously revealed that the director wanted Russell Crowe to be the man building the ark and Variety now says the actor is negotiating a deal to take on the part, with filming expected to start in July. »

Marc Forster Plans to Take On 'Cowboy Ninja Viking' Adaptation Next
28 February 2012 2:43 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
He's a Cowboy, Ninja and Viking. Universal is aiming to pick up a project that Disney dumped for being "too edgy" and they're developing with director Marc Forster (Finding Neverland, Stranger Than Fiction, Quantum of Solace, Machine Gun Preacher). Deadline reports the comic book adaptation Cowboy Ninja Viking, adapted by writers Paul Wernick & Rhett Reese (Zombieland, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Deadpool), was recently picked up by Universal and they have set Forster to make this next after he finishes World War Z, due out in December. The intention is to be in production this year, possibly even before Wwz comes out. The Cowboy Ninja Viking (created by writer A.J. Lieberman & artist Riley Rossmo) is the creation of "Dr. Sebastian Ghislain", a psychotherapist who recruits Multiple Personality Disorder patients to produce a unit of counter-intelligence agents called Triplets. But what happens when those guys become out of control assassins? That's when »

Edgar Wright and Johnny Depp Will Disturb the Undead in ‘The Night Stalker’
22 February 2012 12:10 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Johnny Depp is an entertaining and talented actor, no doubt, but if you’re one of many who wish he’d drop the shtick and take on a normal role for once you should probably just give up that particular pipe dream. He plays quirky and odd, period, and there may be no going back. Which is a shame because he was pretty great in Finding Neverland. But hey, at least he’s managed to find another interesting project. Deadline Matheson is reporting that Disney has signed Edgar Wright to direct an as-yet unwritten re-imagining of The Night Stalker with Johnny Depp as the embattled reporter Kolchak. Darren McGavin brought the intrepid journalist to life in the mid-seventies series as well as the two TV films that preceded it, and Depp’s peculiar peccadilloes make him a solid fit for the character. Kolchak covered crime for a Chicago newspaper, and his specialty (or his curse) was in »
