* Well, if it's anything like
Tomb Raider 
it could be cool. If it's like
Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life 
then we might as well start wrapping it in newspaper right now. Sony has confirmed that David O. Russell(
Three Kings
) has been tapped to write and direct a film based on the video game
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
. The action adventure has been a hit worldwide, selling over 2.6M copies. Guh. O. Russell's next flick is the Mickey Ward biopic,
The Fighter, due out in December of this year.
* Uh oh. This has disaster written all over it. Filming of George Miller's
Mad Max 
films has been delayed yet again, this time all the way until February 2012. Maybe longer. While no clear reason has been given, budgetary concerns appear to be the culprit. Shooting was delayed once before due to poor weather.
* There's a funny scene in Doug Liman's 1999 film '
Go
' where one of the characters(played by Timothy Olyphant) bashes the shit out of The Family Circus. It was so beautiful and perfectly stated. It sounded like something I would have said. It sits there in the corner of the Comics section just waiting to suck. Well apparently it's funny enough to earn a movie because Bill Keane's single panel strip(introduced in 1960) is being adapted as a possible franchise. Wasn't Marmaduke punishment enough?
