Steve McQueen's "Yucatan" To Be Produced By Robert Downey Jr Robert Downey Jr. and wife Susan Downey have named their Warner Bros-based production company Team Downey , and hired David Gambino to be president of production. For their first producing project, the Downeys have come aboard Yucatan , a heist film originally crafted by Steve McQueen as a star vehicle for himself. Team Downey will produce with Dan Lin , with whom they worked on Sherlock Holmes. While Warner Bros tried for several years to find a movie in the nearly 1,700 pages of notes and storyboards compiled by McQueen and discovered in a trunk long after his death, Team Downey and Lin will go back to that source material and start from scratch. The studio made a new rights deal with McQueen's son, Chad, who'll be an executive producer with Lance Sloane. Downey is intrigued with the material and will get first crack at starring in it.

Russell Crowe To Star In A "The Equalizer" Movie I remember this show as a kid watching it with my father, it was one of the few shows we got to watch in Japan living on base. And with all the 80's television shows  being developed into films, why not another television show from that era. Russell Crowe is attached to star in the role  Edward Woodward made famous. The actor has attached himself to play Robert McCall , the mysterious agent made famous by Woodward in the 1980s CBS crime series. Fans of the series will remember that McCall's background was murky -- he once worked for a top-secret agency, where he did some pretty horrible things -- and we watched him every week in his new, repentance-minded guise, righting wrongs for the persecuted by settling scores with their persecutors (and assorted miscreants). Mired for years in development at the Weinstein Co., the cinematic reimagining of "The Equalizer" now is with a group of high-level producers

Summer Glau Joins Cast Of The Knights Of Badassdom Actress Summer Glau has been cast in The Knights of Badassdom , an upcoming movie from director Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2: Dead End). Glau is the first female actor to join the odd-sounding horror comedy, which follows a group of LARPers (live-action role players) who somehow manage to mix it up with what are described as "heavy metal demons," according to Bleeding Cool . The cast already includes Peter Dinklage , Danny Pudi , Steve Zahn and True Blood's Ryan Kwanten .

She's also had recurring roles in Dollhouse and The 4400 and has been cast in NBC's upcoming midseason superhero drama The Cape . But though the exotic-looking, somewhat mysterious Glau is quite popu

Edgerton previously said that this prequel pays homage to the original version, that there’s a lot of tie-ins as to how the base comes to be the way it is in the 1982 John Carpenter film starring Kurt Russell, which was about scientists in the Antarctic confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people that it kills.
