Robocop
Jackie Earle Haley is signing on while Jay Baruchel is circling Jose Padilha's "Robocop" remake at MGM.

Ivanhoe
British actor Sam Riley ("Control," "On the Road") will play the title role in Iain Softley’s adaptation of Sir Walter Scott’s epic "Ivanhoe" at Morena Films and Egoli Tossell Film New GmbH. The project is being shot on 65mm with a script adapted by John Brownlow and James Jacks.
Set in 1194 after the failure of the Third Crusade, the action follows Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a Saxon who is out of favor with his father for his allegiance to the Norman king Richard I of England (aka Richard the Lionheart). What follows is a complicated story with many intersecting character arcs and subplots.

Fairbanks Productions has shelved plans to shoot a £75 million new take on "The Scarlet Pimpernel" in favour of a £50 million new adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's classic 1820 adventure "Ivanhoe" says The Hollywood Reporter.
With a change in European Union copyright laws extending them from 50 to 70 years, film adaptation rights to Baroness Orczy's classic Scarlet Pimpernel are no longer in the public domain in the U.K., which means the company's plans have been put on hold for around five years until the rights become freely available again.
Brit actor Neil Jackson ("Upstairs, Downstairs," "Quantum of Solace") is producing and currently writing a draft of "Ivanhoe", which is in the public domain, and the family adventure-focused Fairbanks Productions is fast tracking it to shoot at Twickenham Studios in London late next year.
