Cate Blanchett To Star As Lucille Ball In Upcoming Biopic

By
Cate Blanchett is attached to star in an authorized biopic of Hollywood legend Lucille Ball that Aaron Sorkin is set to write for Escape Artists, TheWrap has learned.

The film will chronicles Ball’s 20-year marriage to Desi Arnaz, with whom she starred on the classic TV sitcom I Love Lucy. Ball had two children with Arnaz before they divorced in 1960. She married Gary Morton the following year.

Lucy Arnaz Jr. and Desi Arnaz Jr. will produce with Escape Artists, whose executive Jenna Block will oversee development of the project on behalf of the Sony-based company.

A representative for Blanchett declined to comment, while a representative for Sorkin did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Blanchett won her first of two Academy Awards for playing another Hollywood icon, Katharine Hepburn, in Martin Scorsese‘s The Aviator. She’s gearing up for another Oscar run thanks to her acclaimed performance in Todd Haynes‘ lesbian romance Carol. Blanchett also stars opposite Robert Redford in the Toronto-bound drama Truth and co-stars in a pair of upcoming Terrence Malick movies.

Sorkin won an Oscar for writing The Social Network and has proven adept at tackling real-life famous people, from Mark Zuckerberg to Billy Beane and Charlie Wilson. He also wrote the Steve Jobs movie that stars Michael Fassbender and hits theaters Oct. 9 via Universal. Additionally, Sorkin adapted Michael Lewis‘ Wall Street drama Flash Boys for producer Scott Rudin.

Escape Artists recently produced Jake Gyllenhaal‘s boxing drama Southpaw and Denzel Washington‘s action-thriller The Equalizer. The company is also developing a Masters of the Universe movie.

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.

Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...
