Screenwriters Jon Lucas and Scott Moore (The Hangover) have written a script called 21 and Over that’s currently out to directors. The movie — set up at Relativity Media and produced by Lorne Michaels — is about two college seniors who get their buddy wasted on his 21st birthday and embark on a Hangover-like journey through the University of Boulder before getting their friend to a med school exam the next morning. Vein of …. The Hangover.
Barry Levinson may be up for a directing gig for Old Timers, a project that’s been bouncing around for a while and that once had Jon Amiel (Entrapment) attached. Old Timers follows a 60-year-old hitman assigned to kill his partner and best friend after he botched up a hit. However, the two friends decide to have one last great night together doing things they’ve always wanted to do before the hit. I suppose it goes without saying that it’s in the vein of The Bucket List.
It looks like Breck Eisner is likely off The Brood, a remake of the 1979 Cronenberg flick. Spyglass Entertainment is currently searching for another director.
With The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy in the works, David Fincher has unnattached his name from Black Hole, a movie based on a Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman script, adapted from the Charles Burns’ graphic novel.
Copperheart Productions is developing Theorem, a horror movie based on a script by Vincenzo Natali (Splice) and Mike Finch (Greyskull). The movie is about a mathematician who discovers a genetic compound that cures his son of autism, but uh oh, it also turns him into a vessel for the devil.

I just watched The Brood for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Those kids were some of the creepiest fucking brats I've ever seen.

1. "Old Timers follows a 60-year-old hitman assigned to kill his partner and best friend after he botched up a hit. However, the two friends decide to have one last great night together doing things they’ve always wanted to do before the hit." Sounds like "In Bruges" to me.
2. "The movie is about a mathematician who discovers a genetic compound that cures his son of autism, but uh oh, it also turns him into a vessel for the devil. " And all this time I thought it was called breast milk.

I am not sure if people are aware of this but just wanted to gently point out that Brooke Shields unlike most actresses in Hollywood actually went to an Ivy league college (Princeton Univ.) and graduated. We have to give her some credit for this especially nowadays where most young actors are busy getting wasted every night.do u ever heard about sugardaddyhunt.com?the best place to get a sugarbaby or sugardaddy.i strong advise u singles go to have a look.

Fincher off of Black Hole has ruined my day.

"University of Boulder" ?
So, it's a fantasy film then.

Whoa. wolten must be a new generation Spambot. The first part of the post was coherent. Somebody needs to hold me, because I'm a bit skeered.
Nah, Pinky, it's just a bit lazy. Remember how some of them used to repeat random comments from elsewhere in the thread? This one is repeating random comments culled from a different thread (thanks, Google!). Poor Jade from Moviefone is having her words repurposed for the spambot revolution.

Enough said.
