Production was seemingly set to begin earlier this year on filmmaker David Dobkin’s Arthur & Lancelot, with rising TV actors Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) and Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) playing the titular Medieval duo.
However, that project was postponed for reasons that Warner Bros. has yet to make official – most likely, the usual suspects (script issues, budget concerns, star power, etc.) – and removed from the studio’s upcoming release slate, with Bryan Singer’s Jack the Giant Killer being pushed back to Spring 2013 to take its would-be place.
Kinnaman thereafter signed on to headline the RoboCop reboot, while Harington moved on to join the cast of The Seventh Son – so, even though Arthur & Lancelot is ready to move forward once more, the flick is now in need of two ...

Seeing how Gary Ross’ adaptation of The Hunger Games is currently being projected for an opening weekend take of over $100 million, it’s safe to say: not only is the sequel Catching Fire (based on Suzanne Collins’ original novel of the same name) essentially a sure thing at this point, but Ross is pretty much guaranteed to return to the director’s chair – working from a script penned by Oscar-winner Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire).
In a recent interview with MTV, Ross has said that he’s only just begun to develop his plans for filming Catching Fire. However, there is one matter the director has already made his mind up about: neither the sequel nor any future Hunger Games movies will be shot in or “conceived for” 3D (so long as he ...

Since late 2011 we’ve been expecting the movie version of Fox’s hit TV series 24 to start production in spring 2012. Well, that no longer seems to be the case.
Deadline dropped the exclusive about the troubles with the 24 movie, stating that the late-spring start date projected for the movie (which has yet to be officially greenlit) has been scrapped by Fox. This timing was critical, as franchise star Kiefer Sutherland was positioning his work on the 24 movie to fit comfortably into the hiatus of his upcoming Fox TV series, Touch (be sure to read our review of that show).
Things of have gone down the proverbial slippery slope since then, as Deadline brings the update that Sutherland (who plays 24 secret agent Jack Bauer) was already less-than-pleased with a deal that would’ve seen him taking ...
