Here is today\u2019s batch of newsbite goodness.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/a> Cindy Bond<\/a>, the president and COO of Promenade Pictures, has co-founded a new company called Mission Pictures \u2014 but she is still involved with Promenade, and both<\/i> companies will now be involved in producing Noah\u2019s Ark: The New Beginning<\/i>, the computer-animated follow-up to Promenade\u2019s previous effort The Ten Commandments<\/a><\/i> (2007). \u2014 Variety<\/a><\/i>, Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

2.<\/a> Marvel Studios has hired Joe Johnston<\/a> \u2014 who was a special-effects whiz at Lucasfilm before he turned to directing films like The Rocketeer<\/i> (1991), Jumanji<\/i> (1995), October Sky<\/i> (1999) and Jurassic Park III<\/a><\/i> (2001) \u2014 to direct The First Avenger: Captain America<\/a><\/i>. Now they just need a script. \u2014 Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

3.<\/a> MGM is set to join the handful of distributors who are posting legitimate film clips \u2014 and entire movies \u2014 online via sites like YouTube. \u2014 New York Times<\/a><\/i>, Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n

4.<\/a> Mongol<\/i> director Sergei Bodrov will direct The Silk Road: The Adventures of Marco Polo<\/i>, an epic told through the eyes of Polo\u2019s prison mate, Rustichello da Pisa. \u2014 Variety<\/a><\/i>, Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

5.<\/a> Edgar Ramirez will play 1970s terrorist Carlos the Jackal<\/a> in Olivier Assayas\u2019s Ilich: Story of Carlos<\/i>. Carlos was a significant figure in Robert Ludlum\u2019s The Bourne Identity<\/a><\/i> and at least one of its sequels, and he was played by Yorgo Voyagis (who played Joseph in Franco Zeffirelli\u2019s Jesus of Nazareth<\/a><\/i>) in the 1988 mini-series based on Ludlum\u2019s novel, but the recent movies starring Matt Damon have ignored the character entirely. Several other novels and movies have made use of the character, too. \u2014 Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

6.<\/a> Clark Hoyt ponders how secular newspapers ought to handle their coverage of art that handles religious themes in a controversial manner. Focusing primarily on the ten-year-old gay-Jesus play Corpus Christi<\/a><\/i>, Hoyt notes that most outlets never get beyond defending an artist\u2019s freedom-of-speech rights, but surely, he says, there are other matters to consider, too. \u2014 New York Times<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

7.<\/a> As if it wasn\u2019t bad enough that we have so<\/a> many<\/a> lame<\/a> movies<\/a> out there spoofing the latest Hollywood hits, we will soon have to deal with a lame movie that spoofs the spoofs. Or, even better, a lame movie about a moviemaker who makes a movie that spoofs the spoofs. Either way, the upcoming movie is called Not Another Not Another Movie<\/a><\/i>. Seriously. \u2014 Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
