"Blake Edwards will exec produce a redo of his 1979 comedy 10 along with son Geoffrey, who was an assistant editor on the original. I’d ask what young starlet you’d most like to see in cornrows, but of course a newcomer is being sought to fill the iconic Bo Derek role. A new version of Papillon, or at least a new adaptation of Henri Charriere’s autobiography, will be produced by two-time Oscar winner Branko Lustig (Schindler’s List; Gladiator). Could a remake receive more love from the Academy than did the original? It’s been done before… Like, totally bitchin: MGM is developing a musical remake of

""Trumbo" is the story of charismatic blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo and his turbulent rise from the career and life-tarnishing government brand. Based on son Christopher's play, Peter Askin's film weaves rollicking archival interviews with readings of Dalton's equally bizarre but beautiful letters (his preferred form of distance communication) read by current Hollywood royalty, including Paul Giamatti, Nathan Lane and Liam Neeson.The actors turn the recreations into full-blown celebrations of Dalton's fantastic use of language, notably epitomized in a sarcasm-tinged note to an electric company representative and an improbably long ode to masturbation, addressed to a teenaged Christopher.

"Now I don't normally go for dramas because I prefer the more light hearted stuff, but this was a good movie from the early 70's. It feature Steve McQueen who is desperate to escape from prison. McQueen is tough as nails and is a natural born leader, but gets ripped off more then once trying to escape. As punishment he ends up spending 7 years in solitary confinement and is forced to survive on bugs. The entire movie did a good job of showing how tough it really would be to spend your whole life in prison. With the entire movie focused on escape, you can't help but expect some huge uplifting moment, but the film ends with too many unanswered questions. "
