WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23
BLONDE---Jessica Chastain (ZERO DARK THIRTY) is in negotiations to play Marilyn Monroe in the movie based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel. Brad Pitt is the producer.
RAILHEAD---movie underway based on the upcoming children's sci fi book where trains travel through space via portals. A thief is hired to steal an object that is a lot more valuable than he is led to believe and could change the future of the galaxy. Doug Liman (THE BOURNE IDENTITY, EDGE OF TOMORROW) is in negotiations to direct.
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000---creator Joel Hodgson is developing an online reboot series, "...the show is built to be refreshed with new people and new ideas. It’s like Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle as it applies to ‘MST3K’: If it doesn’t change, it’s not the same show. And fortunately for us, as long as there are movies, there are always going to be cheesy movies.” The reboot will feature a new host and cameos from the original cast.
STAR TREK 3---writer/producer Roberto Orci wants to direct the latest sequel and is being supported by JJ Abrams' Bad Robot Productions. Paramount Pictures is more interested in established director Joe Cornish (ATTACK THE BLOCK). Orci and Alex Kurtzman have agreed to an amicable split in their writing partnership (STAR TREK, TRANSFORMERS, ALIAS).
JURASSIC WORLD---director Colin Trevorrow commented on the latest sequel, "It's about alpha dominance and the fact that humans have been the alpha species for a very long time, and so now we've brought back another that happened to be the alpha species during its time, and we have to co-exist, so what is that relationship?"
He added that more sequels are planned, "We definitely talked about [sequels] a lot. We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic, and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story."
BLACK CHAPTER---Len Wiseman (LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD) will direct this movie about an FBI agent who joins a top secret government program that trains its operatives to use paranormal powers to battle supernatural forces.
PEEPS---animated movie franchise underway based on the popular marshmallow Easter candy. Adam Rifkin (SMALL SOLDIERS) will write the script.
IT'S A SMALL WORLD---Jon Turteltaub (NATIONAL TREASURE) will direct this Walt Disney Pictures movie based on the popular Disney theme park attraction.
47 METERS DOWN---movie underway about two sisters who are trapped in an observation cage on the ocean bottom during a shark observation trip and must endure injuries, a dwindling oxygen supply and great white sharks in order to survive. Johannes Roberts (STORAGE 24) is the director.
CW---six series are on the network's renewal bubble: HART OF DIXIE, THE 100, THE CARRIE DIARIES, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, THE TOMORROW PEOPLE and STAR-CROSSED. HART OF DIXIE and THE 100 have the best chances of renewal, but THE CARRIE DIARIES has the least chance of returning.
MISS YOU ALREADY---comedy movie starring Rachel Weisz and Toni Collette as two friends in London whose relationship crumbles when one gets pregnant and the other becomes ill.

What is this proliferation of terrible ideas?
A movie based on marshmallow candy?
Another based on the most obnoxious theme song I've ever heard.
(Although, the tale of how Mary Blair's career rose and fell under the patronage of Uncle Walt, then rose again, with the job of creating the "It's a Small World" ride at the 1964 New York World's Fair would be more interesting. Certainly more dramatic than all those bobble-headded dolls, droning that interminable song...)

Hollywood already jumped the shark majorly when they made a movie about Justin Beiber. The Peeps movie is just accepted norm now. That yellow Peep crying in the picture, weaps for Hollywood. Or "weeps".
