For quite a while (at least since July 2012) Channing Tatum has been putting together a biopic of daredevil Evel Knievel. Now he may have found a director for the film, as Deadline reports that Noah and Black Swan helmer Darren Aronofsky is circling the film.
He hasn’t signed on yet, and knowing the idiosyncratic director, he may want to mold it a little more in a direction that suits him before he officially decides to helm.
Evel was born Robert Craig Knievel, the stuntman became a household name in the 1970s for his nationally televised motorcycle jumps. Ever the showman, Knievel became recognizable for his use of a Stars-and-Stripes getup and the fact he broke 433 bones. He died in 2007 at the age of 69.
He became a legend to those growing up in the 70s and 80s, which perhaps explains both Channing and Darren’s interest.
Before they came out, many thought the idea of rebooting the Planet Of The Apes franchise with a series of prequels was a bad idea. However both Rise and Dawn turned out to be great films and big successes at the box office.
Normally when a movie tries to make out it’s a once in a generation event, it’s an indication that the film itself will be a bit underwhelming.

It seems Jennifer Lawrence must have liked working with director Francis Lawrence on The Hunger Games sequels, as 
Few sport doping scandals have had a bigger impact than Lance Armstrong, largely because his fame was as much due to his inspirational story (surviving testicular cancer and coming back to be a champion) as it was about what he did on a bike. He was also one of the biggest anti-doping spokespeople, before admitting that his career had been extensively aided by banned performance-enhancing subjects.
Olivia Cooke’s star has steadily been rising thanks to the likes of Bates Motel, Ouija and the Sundance hit, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. Now the British actress has got another major boost, as Steven Spielberg has cast her as the female lead in his played Ready Player One, according to 
After a decade of being Doctor McDreamy in Grey’s Anatomy, Patrick Dempsey has know left his Seattle stethoscope and the soap opera dramatics behind. Well, actually the latter isn’t quite true, as 
Doug Liman and Tom Cruise had a great time together making Edge Of Tomorrow, and soon after they decided to team up again for the drug drama Mena. Now they’ve got yet another project they’re planning together, Luna Park.
Carol was a massive success at Cannes, with many tipping it for a major awards run at the beginning of next year. Todd Haynes’ beautiful 1950s set drama will receive its UK Premiere on Wednesday 14 October at the Odeon Leicester Square as the 59th BFI London Film Festival’s American Express Gala, attended by Todd Haynes, Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.
You may never have heard of Krampus, but in some traditions he is essentially the anti-Santa Claus, a slightly demonic figure who punishes bad children while Santa rewards the good. Now he’s getting his own movie, which will be coming to creep us out (and hopefully make us laugh) at the end of the year.
