Lionsgate® and the filmmakers of THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE are pleased to announce that Jeffrey Wright has been cast in the role of Beetee in the much anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ worldwide smash hit novel Catching Fire.

A year after NBC rejected David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman , the CW is prepping its own take on the DC Comics super hero. Grey's Anatomy's Allan Heinberg is attached to write Amazon (working title), an origin story about Wonder Woman's alter ego Diana of Themyscira, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. As first reported by Vulture, the project will focus on Wonder Woman as a budding hero rather than the already established personality that existed in Kelley's take that starred Friday Night Lights' Adrianne Palicki . "As well crafted and contemporized as it was, it was a big and radical shift for viewers to embrace this new idea -- and that may, to some degree, have had to do with why it didn’t make it," Warner Bros. TV president Peter Roth told THR last year, noting at the time that Wonder Woman's future at another network was to be determined. The CW's Amazon is in the early stages of development and there is no script order attached

Actor-turned-director story numero uno of the day: Though Renee Zellweger has occasionally dipped her toes into the producing waters on films she works on, she hasn’t shown much interest in directing. But apparently she was just keeping it quiet, as the actress has now signed on to star in and shoot 4 1/2 Minutes . While lots of people get their first taste of megaphone wielding via shorts, that’s actually the title of a new comedy and not the running time. Written by Warrior’s Anthony Tambakis, the plot will be based on the life of real-life stand-up comic Dov Davidoff (who worked on the story). Johnny Knoxville will star as Jimmy Bennett, a commitment-shy comedian whose life is one big disaster area. But then he takes a job looking after the genius child spawned by single mother PJ Anderson (Zellweger). Assuming everything comes together, Zellweger will be calling action for the first time in New York next February. Please Leave A Comment- Source- Empire

Remember that live-action Heavy Metal TV series we heard about early last year? Well, it's almost here—and we have a bone-crunching new trailer to prove it. The series, based on the French sci-fi fantasy comic Metal Hurlant Chronicles , will be broken up into two 12-episode seasons featuring 30-minute episodes. It's being produced in France, and creators We Productions and United Humanoids are lining up worldwide distribution deals to bring the series to additional markets. No U.S. distribution agreement has been made at this point. The show stars several genre alums, including Rutger Hauer, Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, Joe Flanigan, James Marsters, David Belle and Matt Mullins . The cult-fave comic was known for its surreal storylines and adult sexuality, was a bona fide hit in the 1970s and remains an influential sci-fi property to this day.

Universal is working on a follow-up to one of its biggest domestic hits of 2012, Safe House . David Guggenheim , who wrote the original script while working a day job as an editor at Us Weekly, is back to pen the as-yet-untitled sequel. Scott Stuber is returning as producer via his Universal-based Bluegrass Films. The action-thriller original followed a bored young CIA agent ( Ryan Reynolds ) overseeing a South African safe house who is thrust into a life-and-death adventure when he has to keep a rogue agent ( Denzel Washington ) safe. Directed by Daniel Espinosa, Safe House made $126 million domestically and $202 million worldwide. Reynolds likely would return to star in the sequel, though a source says no deal has been made. Washington’s involvement is less clear because (spoiler alert) his character didn't survive the first movie. Sources say the studio is keen to have Washington involved, however. All parties were mum as to whether the new project would be a prequel
