Thank God- Director of Social Network & Screenplay Writer of the Social Network are working on a Steve Jobs Movie

Sony Pictures is moving forward with its Steve Jobs movie, a year after critically-panned "jOBS" starring Ashton Kutcher was released. "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)" director David Fincher who is currently completing the Ben Affleck starrer, "Gone Girl", is in early negotiation stage to helm the biopic.

The film is based on Walter Isaacson's best-selling biography of the Apple co-founder. Aaron Sorkin, who penned Fincher's "The Social Network", has finished adapting the book into a screenplay. "The Social Network" producer Scott Rudin will produce the biopic along with Mark Gordon and Guymon Casady.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak takes part in the film as a consultant. Sony boarded the project in October 2011, just weeks after Jobs lost battle against pancreatic cancer. Sorkin started working on the script in 2012 while he was heavily involved in HBO's "The Newsroom".

The scribe once spilled to The Daily Beast, "This entire movie is going to be three scenes, and three scenes only, that all take place in real time." Those scenes, he said, would run 30 minutes in length and reveal the product launches of Apple's original Macintosh computer (1984), NeXT Cube (1990), and original iPod (2001).

No actor has been cast for the untitled Steve Jobs biopic.

New Character Rumor in "Batman vs Superman"

 

 

With BATMAN VS SUPERMAN showcasing the new Dark Knight alongside Wonder Woman and potentially Dwayne Johnson as Green Lantern, the DC Cinematic Universe is slowly coming together. We have heard rumblings of appearances from Aquaman and Green Arrow and now some more rumors may support the appearance of another Justice League member in the sequel to MAN OF STEEL.

 

While Latino Review may be pretty hit or miss these days with their inside sources, they were correct about the casting call that turned out to be for Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Now, it appears Zack Snyder and the studio are searching for a physically fit, African American male in his early 20s for an undisclosed role. This could be for a non-hero role, or it could be for Cyborg.

 

Latino Review also claims that Zack Snyder met with Michael B. Jordan for the role, so it likely is not some minor part. With Jordan taking the part of Johnny Storm in THE FANTASTIC FOUR, the potential for this role to be any hero, African American or otherwise, is wide open. DC, as with the casting of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, is not going to just play it safe and could be changing the ethnicity of any character. They already cast Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and made Jimmy Olsen into a girl, so anything is possible.

 

What do you think: is DC looking for a Cyborg? We will know for sure when BATMAN VS SUPERMAN hits theaters on May 6, 2016.

LeBron James Denies 'Space Jam 2' Rumor

Rumor suggesting that LeBron James would star in "Space Jam 2" was denied by the NBA player's camp. Despite the swirling report, ESPN's Brian Windhorst tweeted, "Well it was fun while it lasted. LeBron sources refute Deadline report, there's no Space Jam 2 or Warner Bros. project in works." 

Deadline previously reported that the long-awaited sequel to 1996's animated/live-action mash-up movie "Space Jam" was developed by Charlie and Willie Ebersol, the sons of sports broadcasting veteran Dick Ebersol, as a starring vehicle for the Miami Heat player. 

Charlie who previously worked with the NFL was rumored to serve as a producer, while his brother Willie who won an Emmy for the London Olympics would reportedly handle the scriptwriting. The news emerged months after a fake poster for a rumored "Space Jam 2" film starring James hit the web. 



Directed by Joe Pytka, the original "Space Jam" movie starred Michael Jordan and Looney Tunes characters. Legendary players like Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley supported the flick along with Hollywood stars such as Danny DeVito and Bill Murray. It raked in more than $230 million internationally. 

The film's soundtrack was also a winner. While the album was certified at least 6x Platinum, one of the tracks in the CD, R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly", hit the top of the charts and earned him two Grammys. 

Back in 2012, LeBorn proclaimed his love for "Space Jam". He tweeted, "I love that movie. Wish I could do Space Jam 2!" in response to a question from one of his followers. The athlete previously appeared on shows like "Entourage" and "Saturday Night Live".

Quentin Tarantino working on Django Unchained Sequel?

Just a rumor, yet a close friend of mine ( let's call him Jon Doe), just gave me the scoop of how Tarantino is looking to start work on the sequel to Django Unchained.

Jon is being interviewed to develop some graphic work but the interesting twist in this story is that Tarantino denies the sequel, yet plans a new western called the "The Hateful Eight"

like Tarantino's movies,  is this misdirection or a twist for the audience?

Stay tuned for more!
