Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment have an agreement for Paramount to distribute Marvel's next five self produced features. It's an extension of the original agreement, so now it includes theatrical distribution in foreign territories. The titles and changed release dates are Iron Man 2 (May 7,2010), Thor (July 16, 2010), The First Avenger: Captain America (May 6, 2011), The Avengers (July 15, 2011), and Iron Man 3.
According to Variety, more directors want to film in IMAX, “Michael Bay will film at least three action setpieces using Imax cameras for ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,’ which is lensing. Jon Favreau has discussed using Imax cameras in filming ‘Iron Man 2,’ while ‘Eagle Eye’ director D.J. Caruso has expressed interest in doing so for future projects such as ‘Y: The Last Man.’"
“Digital Cinema Implementation Partners (DCIP) announced today that it has entered into long term agreements with Twentieth Century Fox, Walt Disney Motion Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios and Lionsgate Films for the deployment of digital projection systems to nearly 20,000 movie theatre screens across North America, including the AMC, Cinemark and Regal theatre chains.”
Sundance Channel now has the international rights to Isabella Rossellini starring short series Green Porno.
Horror Camp Hope has been pushed to early 2009.
George Romero has written and started production on an untitled zombie movie. Alan Van Sprang, Kenneth Welsh, Kathleen Munroe, Devon Bostick, Richard Fitzpatrick, Stefano Colacitti, and Athena Karkanis will star in the movie about an island community where the dead rise and eat their relatives. The living must decide whether to kill them or hold them while looking for a cure.
Universal has bought Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger’s comedic take on The Borne Identitiy. The Jack Black vehicle is about an “American who washes up on the shores of Cuba with no memory of who he is or how he got there. He comes to the inaccurate conclusion that he must be a superspy like Jason Bourne.”
Live Schreiber and Helen Hunt will play a couple whose marriage is strained to the breaking point in Richard Levine’s drama Every Day. It’ll be Levine’s feature directorial debut. Filming begins this month.
