Updated (May 23): Cineplex Australia has dropped “Show Dogs” from its theaters, and the Ncose is calling on America’s two largest theater chains, AMC and Regal, to pull the film as well. In a second statement, the group’s executive director said the movie contains “essentially a sextortion scenario” and “a textbook sexual abuser move — it would be impossible to calculate the number of times sexual abusers coerce minors into various sexual activities (everything from sending nude pictures to sex trafficking them) by using the threat of something bad happening to someone else if they don’t comply.”
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation has scolded Will Arnett’s latest film, the PG-rated “Show Dogs,” as potentially dangerous viewing for kids. While the May 18 release sounds innocent, if a bit perplexing — a police dog (voiced by Chris “Ludacris” Bridges) infiltrates a Vegas canine competition to save a stolen panda...

Alive Entertainment chief Philip von Alvensleben and former Columbia TriStar vp James Veres have optioned "Noble Soul," a screenplay by Joe Wallenstein, a producer and USC film school administrator.
"Soul" is a fact-based legal drama probing the Supreme Court's landmark 1966 Miranda case on criminal-arrest procedure. Wallenstein based his script on accounts passed on by his friend John Flynn, the attorney who successfully pleaded the case.
"In some quarters, Miranda was and remains a deeply unpopular decision," Wallenstein said. "However, it is crucial that all Americans remember that at no time is their liberty more precious than when it is unpopular."
A TV multihyphenate on such series as "Knots Landing" and "7th Heaven," Wallenstein is director of physical production at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. He is repped by Roger Strull at Preferred Artists and Dionell Guanco at Avery Management.
Financial terms of the "Noble" deal weren't disclosed.
