While Oscar-scooping filmmaking team Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal have been focusing a lot of energy on getting star-laden thriller Triple Frontier into shape, it was announced last December that they were quietly working on another film following a Black Ops team that we described back than as something which could be “so topical it hurts.” Well, it turns out that it’ll be even more topical than they thought since the untitled project follows the very team who ended up killing Osama Bin Laden on Sunday. With his contacts in military intelligence, Boal had in fact been following the Navy SEAL team that was part of the search for Osama, and Bigelow had planned to turn his eventual script into a film for a while. Now Boal will be feverishly re-writing to add in the raid on the compound in Pakistan where he was eventually found and shot. According to Variety, Bigelow plans to wait and see how the Arab world reacts to the news before pushing ahead too much further, but she still w

So without further adieu Here'ssss Joe. My name is Joe. John has asked me to review Thor for him from my comic book geek standpoint. Thanks to John, I was able to get an advance screening pass to see Thor this past Saturday morning… and I have to say, the short review is… Go. See. It. Now… first off, as I mentioned, I’m a comic book geek . I’ve thoroughly been enjoying the onslaught of comic book movies within the last few years. I’m glad comics are finally getting the notoriety they deserve as a story-telling medium. Now, don’t get me wrong… there have been plenty of movies out there that have been mediocre at best

British helmer Scott Mann has signed on to direct a remake of Japanese pic " Seven Samurai ," which is being produced by the Weinstein Co. and Japan's Kurosawa Prods. Pic, which has an estimated budget of $60 million, will be a contempo interpretation of the 1954 original. It centers on a town in Northern Thailand that recruits seven paramilitary contractors from around the globe to defend it from an imminent attack. Mann, who most recently helmed Robert Carlyle and Ving Rhames starrer " The Tournament " -- which gained cult status on both sides of the pond -- will help TWC develop the screenplay, which they hope to shoot later this year. Scribe John Fusco ("The Forbidden Kingdom," "Young Guns") has been also been developing the project at TWC for 18 months. Mann recently announced several projects in development under his expanding Mann Made Films banner with U.K. producing partner James Edward Barker, including horror pic "S

When I first saw a preview of the show at Comic-Con 2009, I just knew this show was going to be big, but 20th Century Fox TV and film divisions have partnered to produce GLEE LIVE! 3D! , a feature film based on the upcoming Glee Live! In Concert! North American tour. Never thought this would happen. The studio plans to release the film for a two-week engagement starting Aug. 12. Gleeks who were unable to get tickets will be able to catch the concert in 3D. The tour starred 14 members of the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning TV show, and the film will also feature behind-the-scenes moments. The feature will be directed by Fame helmer Kevin Tancharoen. Given the rabid following that Ryan Murphy's show has, this seems like as good as a cash machine for the studio. It worked for Sony on the Michael Jackson documentary This Is It! (whose limited run was extended, something that always seems to happen), and Paramount cleaned up with the Justin Bieber documentary Never Say Never. The
