Keira Knightley re-teams with The Jacket screenwriter Massy Tadjedin, who will make her directorial debut with Last Night. Per Variety, “Story follows a married couple, apart for a night while the husband takes a business trip with a colleague to whom he’s attracted. While he’s resisting temptation, his wife encounters her past love.” Tadjedin is also at work on an untitled project for Steven Spielberg.
The new family-friendly version of The Rock, who would really appreciate it if you’d call him Dwayne Johnson, will star in a movie based on everyone’s favorite section of Disneyland – Tomorrowland. Or will he? This self-contradictory Variety report first says, “After turning the theme park ride Pirates of the Caribbean into a blockbuster film trilogy, Disney is circling an entire segment of its theme park — Tomorrowland — as inspiration for a space movie that will star Dwayne Johnson.” But two paragraphs later: “Disney denies the film has been titled Tomorrowland or is dedicated to the park’s section, a futuristic area of the Magic Kingdom that includes such attractions as Space Mountain.” Hey, just as long as it’s not based on It’s a Small World, we’re happy.
Robert Zemeckis can’t get enough of that motion-capture technology. He is once again teaming with Monster House collaborator Gil Kenan for “a big-screen version of Airman, a children's adventure book by Artemis Fowl author Eoin Colfer.” Incidentally, Colfer is now at work on a sixth installment in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series called And Another Thing. Anyone familiar with this guy’s work? I’m wondering if I should be intrigued or appalled.
