August 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jessica-AlbaJessica Alba is turning scheming villainess, which might be going against type but Fanboys director Kyle Newman’s thinks it’s a good idea for his new film, Barely Lethal, as he’s cast her as the movie’s antagonist, according to ScreenDaily.

Hailee Steinfeld is set to plat as Megan, a teenage assassin who has spent her whole life at an elite boarding school where she has been trained to kill. Yearning for a normal life, she fakes her own death and escapes, enrolling in a suburban high school. Jessica Alba plays Victoria Knox, who is furious that Megan has given up the killing life and so chases after her.

Samuel L Jackson will be Steinfeld’s mentor, with Newman directing from a script by John D’Arco. Barely Lethal starts shooting in October.

Fanboys Helmer Kyle Newman Plans Star Wars-Themed Chewie

August 2, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With Fanboys, director Kyle Newman explored people’s love of Star Wars, and now he’s planning to stay in the galaxy far far away, as he’s developing Chewie, a movie based on the life of Peter Mayhew, the actor who played the iconic Wookie sidekick in the original Star Wars films.

The story focuses on the actor’s struggle with juggling his career as a hospital worker and chasing his dream to become a Hollywood star. Kyle Newman acquired the actor’s life rights, to further develop the spec screenplay. However, finding an actor of play Mayhew, who’s famous over seven feet tall, may be tough, and Newman may also have to do a deal with Lucasfilm if he wants to use the Chewbacca costume.

The script was written by Evan Susser and Van Robichaux, and made the 2011 Black List. Jess Rosenthal and D.J. Gugenheim are producing. (Source: THR)
