Scott Cooper To Remake '36th Precinct'; Kristen Stewart Won't Star In 'Lie Down In Darkness'

6 May 2013 12:38 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Between "Crazy Heart" and his forthcoming "Out Of The Furnace," director Scott Cooper has attached himself to a lot of stuff. "Lie Down In Darkness," "The Emperor's Children" (previously a Noah Baumbach project,) a remake of "Carancho" and the Depression-era drama "The Road Home." It's quite a to-do list, and now he's gone and added another to the pile. Deadline reports that Cooper has signed up rewrite and direct "36th Precinct," a remake of the Olivier Marchand's 2004 effort "36 Quai des Orfèvres." As busy as he is, it may not be a bad idea at all; the original movie was a solid, if not particularly memorable procedural starring Daniel Auteuil and Gerard Depardieu. It concerned two cops who compete to bring down a criminal gang in order to secure promotion. The new version will center on the NYPD's anti-terrorism unit, aiming for a more ripped-from-the-headlines feel we suppose.  "I don't »

'Out of the Furnace' director Scott Cooper on the road after 'Crazy Heart'

3 May 2013 5:47 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

Scott Cooper's slate of upcoming projects is about as impressive and varied as fellow Cooper Bradley's as of late. Three years removed from his debut film, "Crazy Heart" (which earned Jeff Bridges an Oscar for Best Actor), the writer/director is set to traverse the nation, from the streets of New York to Depression Era Central California, the Tidewater of Virginia to the blast furnaces of Pittsburgh. On the latter, Cooper is finishing up "Out of the Furnace" right now. He overhauled Brad Inglesby's Black List script "The Low Dweller" for producers Leonardo DiCaprio and Ridley Scott, loaded it with an impressive »

Thunder Road To Remake French Pic ‘36th Precinct’; Scott Cooper To Write & Direct

3 May 2013 1:46 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »

Exclusive: Crazy Heart writer-director Scott Cooper has been tapped to rewrite and helm 36th Precinct, the 2004 French movie directed by Olivier Marchal. Thunder Road optioned remake rights from French producer Gaumont, which made the original thriller. That pic starred Gerard Depardieu and Daniel Auteuil and centered on rival Paris cops who ruthlessly seek a coveted promotion and blur the lines between the police and the criminals they’re supposed to catch in the process. I’m hearing the updated version will be set in the NYPD’s anti-terrorism unit. Thunder Road boss Basil Iwanyk will produce the new pic along with Cooper, with Marchal and Thunder Road’s Peter Lawson exec producing. Marchal also helmed Gang Story, the 2011 French pic that Thunder Road also is developing, with Safe House helmer Daniel Espinosa attached to direct, Liam Neeson attached to star, and David Scarpa writing the script.

Out Of The Furnace Set for October 4th; Paranoia Moves up to August 16th [Updated]

15 April 2013 7:06 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Relativity Media has done some shuffling on their schedule.  The studio has set October 4th for Out of the Furnace, the new film from Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart).  The film centers on Russell Baze (Christian Bale), who is released after serving four years in prison only to find that his younger brother, Rodney Baze Jr. (Casey Affleck), has been brutally murdered. He sets out to avenge the death and track down the killer.  The film also stars Sam Shepard, Zoe Saldana, Forest Whitaker, and Woody Harrelson.  Looking at the film's pedigree, I would not be surprised to see the movie show up at Tiff.  Out of the Furnace will share October 4th with the Vince Vaughn comedy The Delivery Man, Alfonso Cuaron's sci-fi film Gravity, and Robert Rodriguez' Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Paranoia previously held the October 4th date for Relativity, but it will now »

Early 2014 Oscar Predictions: First Best Picture Line-Up

11 March 2013 10:15 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Obviously predicting the Oscars this early in the year is virtually impossible, but you have to start somewhere and one of my goals in redesigning the site last year was to make it possible to create an admin where I could predict the Oscars virtually year round rather than waiting. Certainly, it makes for longer lists and a little more work, but considering this is all about the fun of predicting I felt it was worth it. So, today we take our first look at the Best Picture category at the 2014 Oscars where I have 40 films currently competing for up to ten slots in the Best Picture race. As the year goes on, we all know these 40 films will likely whittle down to about 15-20 if not fewer, but for now it's early enough where we can count on a lot more than that and also count on a few »

India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) was not prepared to lose her father and best friend Richard (Dermot Mulroney) in a tragic auto accident. The solitude of her woodsy family estate, the peace of her tranquil town, and the unspoken somberness of her home life are suddenly upended by not only this mysterious accident, but by the sudden arrival of her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), whom she never knew existed. When Charlie moves in with her and her emotionally unstable mother Evie (Nicole Kidman), India thinks the void left by her father’s death is finally being filled by his closet bloodline. Soon after his arrival, India comes to suspect that this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives. Yet instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless young woman becomes increasingly infatuated with him.

Scott Waugh Recruits Merry Men

3 March 2013 9:03 AM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Fairy tales, myths and legends are still kings of the development castle for Hollywood. Even if the story has been told a hundred different ways, some tales keep popping back up. Take Robin Hood: there are at least two other movies bubbling away, but DreamWorks thinks it’s on to another and has Scott Waugh attached to direct Merry Men.Brad Ingelsby, who hit the radar with his script Out Of The Furnace, is on board to write the screenplay for the film, which Deadline has heard is a big-budget re-working of the Hood legend. But instead of focusing on Robin, this is apparently an ensemble effort that will give an Ocean’s Eleven-style reboot to Little John, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian and the rest.Waugh is already working on one film for the company, preparing to shoot game adaptation Need For Speed with Aaron Paul starring. Ingelsby, meanwhile, is »

Dreamworks is getting into the "re-imagining" game with Merry Men, an update of the immortal Robin Hood tale that will be directed by Act Of Valor helmer Scott Waugh and written by Brad Ingelsby (Out Of The Furnace). Fast And Furious producer Neal Moritz will oversee the film; his name and Waugh's should give you an idea which direction Dreamworks is going with this new take. Don't worry; this isn't another ponderous telling of the Robin Hood adventure reminiscent of Ridley »

We’re back in still-to-be-published-book-bought-by-film-studio-for-a-star territory (which has one of the longest road signs in history, trivia fans!)

Armour’s depression-era tale concerns Creek, a war veteran rancher who is asked to investigate the bloody murder of a local man.The police have quietly swept the case under the nearest rug, and when Creek sticks his nose in, he discovers more than dust and some errant coins – there’s a scandal brewing around the crime.DiCaprio will produce via his Appian Way company and has yet to decide if he’ll end up in the lead.
