Adaptations

After falling through in 2001, Frank Miller’s comic Hard Boiled is being looked at for a possible movie again, and Frank Miller wants to be the one to direct, “We’re talking about [it]. I’ve got a really unusual way I want to do it.”

Joel Silver says that he’s still developing a Wonder Woman movie and even has Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland writing a new script. Silver says it’ll focus more on her background and Paradise Island than be an origin or genesis story.

Wolfgang Peterson has walked off the Ender’s Game movie. Chartoff Productions is looking at potential replacements.

Ang Lee will direct and James Schamus will adapt for Taking Woodstock, based off Elliot Tiber’s Taking Woodstock: A True Story of a Riot, a Concert, and a Life. About “a Greenwich Village-based interior designer and part-time Catskills hotel manager who headed the Bethel, N.Y., Chamber of Commerce. He issued the permit for the legendary 1969 concert on his neighbor Max Yasgur's farm.”

The rights to 1973 chart topper Bad, Bad Leroy Brown has been picked up by producer Warren Zide, with hopes of an action/comedy franchise.
