The film is expected to begin shooting later this year. Sean Anders (“HORRIBLE BOSSES 2,” “THAT’S MY BOY”) will direct the screenplay written by Brian Burns (“Blue Bloods,” “Entourage”), with revision by Anders and John Morris (“HORRIBLE BOSSES 2,” “DUMB AND DUMBER TO”), Chris Henchy (“THE CAMPAIGN,” “THE OTHER GUYS”), Adam McKay (“ANCHORMAN 2: THE LEDGEND CONTINUES,” “THE CAMPAIGN”) and Etan Cohen (“MEN IN BLACK 3,” “TROPIC THUNDER”).

Marvel Studios is moving fast to make good on its promise to keep its July 17, 2015, release date for Ant-Man . Sources say Rawson Marshall Thurber, Adam McKay and Ruben Fleischer are among a group of directors that are meeting with the studio to replace Edgar Wright , who abruptly exited the long-gestating project last week over creative differences. The shortlisting of this trio offers a glimpse into the mind-set of Marvel president Kevin Feige as he looks to fill the hole left by Wright, a favorite among the fanboy community. Thurber (We're the Millers, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) and McKay (the Anchorman movies) are known for their bawdy comedies. Fleischer , whose credits include Zombieland and Gangster Squad, has moved deftly between genres with comedic elements. Wright, a Brit with a more quirky sensibility, clashed with Marvel over the tone of the film. McKay would appear to have an edge given that he has worked with Ant-Man star Paul Rudd before, on the A

It’s Yabba Dabba Doo time again. Warner Bros. is hoping to bring The Flintstones back to the big-screen, this time as a full-length animated feature. Chris Henchy -- who is partners with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay in Gary Sanchez Productions and who also co-wrote the script for Warners' Ferrell-Zack Galifianakis comedy The Campaign -- is penning the script. Ferrell and McKay will executive produce Flintstones, which is in development stages. Flintstones was The Simpsons of its day, a primetime cartoon and sitcom that ran from 1960 to 1966 and then entertained millions in the ensuing decades when it aired on syndication. The show was set in the Stone Age and told of the antics of Fred Flintstone, his wife Wilma, his best friend Barney Rubble and Rubble’s wife and Wilma’s best friend, Betty. From the town of Bedrock, Fred worked in a quarry, liked to barbecue brontosaurus burgers and live the modern stone age family life. The show had several short-lived reboots ov

Anchorman 2 Coming Soon If you don't want to see an Anchorman sequel you need to stop stiffen the Sex Panther. The problem all this time was trying to get the cast back together for a budget that Paramount will be willing to pay. Ever since the first installment, the supporting stars especially Paul Rudd and Steve Carell have become more famous and more expensive, they’re household names now, just like Will Ferrell himself. But it looks like the ball has started to roll for a sequel. . Adam McKay recently told MTV this; We have this other, bigger, crazier idea that’s really more what it’s about, which I can’t say. Our thinking was there’s just no way the second one is going to be as good as the first, because the first one is the first one. So our idea is if we’re going to do a second one, we better go for it and try some insane stuff and we’ll be enjoying it and that way it can’t be half bad. “[The '80s angle is] more the frame of it. We have this other, bigger, crazi
