With the recent release of “ Maleficent ,” which grossed more than $170 million worldwide in its opening weekend, Disney is working fast on its next live-action fairy-tale adaptation. Bill Condon is set to direct a live-action version of “ Beauty and the Beast ” for Disney. Evan Spiliotopoulos is writing the script with Mandeville Films producing.

Yet, there's a shortsightedness to making a film based on someone who hasn't yet died - are they destined to achieve more, or will their success lead to a disastrous fall? The problems with the biopic The Fifth Estate lie on this and other arguments, particularly those surrounding what kind of film it wants to be. Unfortunately, it never quite gets to where it could, settling for something flashy and scattershot instead of something substantive. Army-of-one Julian Assange ( Benedict Cumberbat

Ian McKellen To Play Sherlock Holmes

The Oscar-winning writer and director collaborated with the actor on " Gods And Monsters " before later working on the last two " Twilight " films. The film details the story of a long-retired Sherlock Holmes haunted by an unsolved case from fifty years ago. He remembers only fragments: a confrontation with an angry husband, a secret bond with his beautiful but unstable wife. With his legendary mental powers on the wane, and without his old sidekick Watson, Holmes is faced with the toughest case of his life. Based on a novel of the same name by Mitch Cullin, the screenplay is being adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher (The Duchess). AI Film, the production arm of the Icon U.K. Group owned by Len Blavatnik’s Access Industries, has boarded the project and will finance and co-produce. Set to shoot April 2014 in the U.K., the film will be produced by Anne Carey, of Anton Corbijn’s The American, through her new venture Archer Gray Productions. Producers of the Oscar-winn
