Werewolves, Wookiees, Orcs and Klingons abound at pop culture expos and major comic book conventions but one truly rare beast is innovation – the names and faces of guests change but at most shows the standard Q&A panel and autograph table line-up are the numbing rule of thumb.
The limited thinking at most cons makes it heartening to hear about some of the offbeat concepts at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2), which kicked off today at McCormick Place, the largest convention center in North America. We caught up with Lance Fensterman, the global vice president at ReedPOP,...

The big story
Name the computer nerd who has had the biggest effect on all our lives? Yes, well, they already made a film about Mark Zuckerberg, so let's all look forward to Jobs – the forthcoming film about the late Apple supremo Steve Jobs, pioneer of the iPod, the iPad, the iMac, the iPhone and scores of other fancy-looking techware beginning with a little "i". And who in all Hollywood has been picked to impersonate one of the greatest brains ever to walk the earth? A shoo-in for that intellectual giant Ashton Kutcher, owner of the world's biggest Twitter account (or something), and veteran of such deathless cinematic masterworks as Dude, Where's My Car? ("Sweet!"). The film that will now be called The Kutcher Job is in fact one of two duelling biogs of the Apple CEO. Sony...

[1] Each December since 2004, studio executive Franklin Leonard has compiled the best unproduced screenplays of the year, as voted by hundreds of execs, agency guys, and high-level assistants. Titled The Black List, the compendium highlights both established screenwriters and up-and-comers, and has served as a launching pad in the past for projects like Juno, Lars and the Real Girl, and (500) Days of Summer. Last year's list included Margin Call, Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Hunger Games, and Snow White and the Huntsman. It should be noted that the headline is somewhat misleading -- some of these screenplays have already been acquired and are already in development, though according to Leonard none will have entered principal photography by December 31, 2011. Also worth pointing out is that, as in previous years, there have been rumors that some of the participants have been accused of using the Black List to promote their own clients or friends.
