Time for a few more stray items.
1. The Hollywood Reporter notes that Winona Ryder, Liev Schreiber and several others have joined the cast of David Wain’s The Ten. The film is typically described as a spoof of The Ten Commandments (1956), but a recent entry at Cinematical — which says there will be one story for each commandment — leads me to wonder if this might be more like a spoof of Dekalog (1988-1989).
2. So many films have been based on the works of Philip K. Dick, from Blade Runner (1982) to A Scanner Darkly (2006), it was only a matter of time before someone made a movie about him. But two movies? Yup, IGN.com notes that there are two biopics in the works, one starring Bill Pullman and the other Paul Giamatti.
3. Hoodwinked director Cory Edwards has posted an item at his blog on his recent writing projects:
- Arthur And The Invisibles — a rewrite of a semi-animated, semi-live action children’s fantasy by Luc Besson
- Escape From Planet Earth — a CGI cartoon, to be directed by Tony Leech, about aliens breaking out of Area 51
- Hoodwinked 2: Hood Vs. Evil — the screenplay for this sequel has now gone through three drafts
The latter two projects still await the greenlight.
