Lucid Coming To The Big Screen

By
Just a few days after picking up the whimsical dinosaur-next-door title Bolivar, Warner Bros. have made a second deal with comics publisher Archaia. This time it's for Lucid, and it'll once again be developed and produced by Akiva Goldsman.

Lucid's set-up is in a slightly skewed version of our own world, where magic exists, and governments employ "combat mages" as spies to ward off international supernatural threats. Our hero is a rookie "Protector of the Realm", taking on a dealer in black market occult technology. Variety describe Lucid as Harry Potter, if Harry Potter grew up and joined the CIA. The comic is by Michael McMillian (who plays Steve in True Blood) and Anna Wieszczyk.

That Potter comparison goes some way to explaining Warners' interest in the comic, since there's a large Hogwarts-shaped hole in their production slate these days. All eyes are on a potential franchise.

No screewriter is attached yet, but added to the Warner/Archaia mix is Zachary Quinto's Before The Door banner, which developed the comic in the first place, and will oversee the film.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
