Recently reported to be in the running for the film adaptation of the hit stage musical Wicked, and with his TV series Glee commissioned for a further two seasons, Ryan Murphy finds himself a very busy man.
Even more so when news breaks today (via Deadline) that Sony pictures are offering Murphy a $5 million deal to write and direct a star vehicle for Julia Roberts, an actress who’s undoubtedly talented but a prospect that no longer seems to excite audiences.
Here’s how Deadline describe the film,

Plan B’s Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner, who have a hand in Eat Pray Love – the forthcoming film in which Murphy directed Roberts, are set to produce the new film alongside Murphy.

News emerges today (via Variety) of a rather more sombre affair heading our way – that the religious drama Heretics is to be made into a film directed by Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace). Here’s their take on the story,
Heretics centers on Carlton Pearson, who was a rising star among evangelicals until he was ostracized by his own church and declared a heretic after he started preaching that there is no Hell.
