With Hollwod’s fascination with 3D at the moment, it’s almost surprising it’s taken until now for someone to come forward with the idea of making an earthquake based disaster epic in three-dimensions (if you ignore Brad Bird’s long stalled film about the 1908 San Francisco quake). However now New Line is developing San Andreas 3D, which will rip apart the famous California fault line and cause some major mayhem.
THR reports that Journey 2 helmer Brad Peyton has just been hired to direct the movie, adding it to a slate that already includes a third Journey movie (which is likely to take a trip to the moon) and a live-action film based on the DC Comics character Lobo. Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore wrote the San Andreas script, with Allan Loeb (Rock of Ages, The Dilemma, Just Go With It) brought in to do a re-write. The film will have a budget of approximately $100 million.
Earthquake films always have the potential to be fun, but Warner and New Line seem to be betting big on Peyton being a major new talent. While Journey 2 hit is big, it’s still early to say whether Peyton can follow that up with more successes.
Although it’s only rumour at the moment, 
While Marvel was taking massive risks building its interconnected universe, Warner/DC seemed a lot more timid and unsure what to do with its major properties. Batman has been a major success, and while we’re getting a new Superman film, the impression is it’s only coming now to beat a deadline where Warner could have lost the screen rights.
Marvel Studios already has a lot going on, with Iron Man 3 currently in production, and Thor 2 and Captain America 2 already planned – not to mention The Avengers 2 at some point. However, it appears they’re still keen to expand their universe, as 
Jon Favreau has become a big name in the directing field thanks to the Iron Man films (let’s just ignore Cowboys vs. Aliens), but he may go in a different direction soon, as 
The cast of Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave has grown substantially, with Paul Giamatti, Sarah Paulson, Scoot McNairy, Ruth Negga, and Garret Dillahunt all signing on to star in the period drama, according to 
Young gay actor Chris Colfer has gained a huge legion of fans playing Kurt in Glee, but he’s more recently been showing he’s a bit of a writer too, as he penned the screenplay for Struck By Lightning, which he also stars in. It’s now been announced that the film will close Outfest, LA’s major LGBT film festival.
Janet Jackson is hoping she can help get people to understand the lives of transgendered people and the issues they face, especially from a population that seems to almost willfully misunderstand and mock them. It’s been announced that Jackson will executive produce the documentary Truth, which will explore the lives and struggles of the transgendered community.
