I guess Harvey hasn't totally given up on the idea of flogging Death Proof and Planet Terror as separate films just quite yet. Robert Rodriguez' zombie-centric half of Grindhouse has been slotted to screen at Europe's largest open-air venue at the Locarno Film Festival next month.
Speaking of Harvey flogging, the Weinstein Company has acquired North American rights to Make it Happen, after brokering sales of international rights to other parties at Berlin and Cannes. The film, which was penned by the guy who brought you Save the Last Dance and Step Up, tracks an aspiring dancer who moves to Chicago and becomes a stripper. So, basically, it's a remake of Flashdance.
Variety has confirmed that Kevin Spacey will be back as Lex Luthor in the next installment of Bryan Singer's Superman franchise. In the piece, Spacey also vociferously refutes rumors that recently claimed he was retiring from movies. "In no way did I use the word retirement. Someone else pulled that out of thin air. It's false, there's not a lick of truth to it."
