Screenwriter Zak Penn Reviving The Argonauts for Fox

12 August 2008 5:25 AM, PDT | From firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news

X-Men and Incredible Hulk screenwriter Zak Penn is the latest to dabble in the sword-and-sandal genre. Although he's still working on The Avengers for Marvel, Penn has been hired by Fox to put together a screenplay titled The Argonauts. The story is based on a Penn's original retelling of the classic Greek tale about the Argonauts, a band of heroic sailors that accompanied Jason to Colchis before the Trojan War. Most may recognize the name from the 1963 film Jason and the Argonauts, although the name Argonauts actually comes from their ship, the Argo. Penn is both writing and producing alongside of John Davis (Eragon, Aliens vs Predator: Requiem). Is the return of the sword-and-sandal trend more than a fad? As the article on Variety points out, there are numerous Hollywood sword-and-sandal projects currently in development, the obvious impact of the huge success of 300 last year. From Louis Leterrier's

This Whole 'Twilight' Thing is being Blown Out of Proportion

11 July 2008 7:20 PM, PDT | From Rope Of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

Update: I have learned a few facts. First off, "Twilight", the book, has sold 5.5 million copies in the United States and the film is budgeted at $37 million. I wish I had those facts when I wrote the piece as they may have been helpful. Oh, and for Twilight fans a few extra details on the film's appearance at Comic Con have been revealed. Two new articles have prompted me to take another look at Twilight and what appears to be an online acceptance that this film will be a giant hit no matter what. Last night I started a huge rant article, but trashed it as it was going nowhere. I was to be based on the online reactions to the Entertainment Weekly cover featuring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as Edward and Bella from the Twilight film. The very first comment over at the Twilight-obsessed MTV Movie Blog

Stone's Lesbian Movie Role

27 March 2008 12:12 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

British singer Joss Stone is to take a break from her music career after landing her first major movie role playing a lesbian holiday park entertainer.

The 20-year-old's first foray into acting was in 2006 when she was cast as a witch in fantasy epic Eragon.

But Stone has now been given the chance to take on a more high profile role in quirky British comedy Snappers, which will see her character indulge in a "long, lingering French kiss" with a woman.

And the star is convinced her new project may shock some of her fans.

She says, "There are things that are going to really push the boundaries - and that excites me!"
