Anne Hathaway is putting on her producer’s hat and she’s also planning to star in The Shower. While I’m sure there are many people who very much like the idea of Anna Hathaway in the shower, this refers to meteor and baby showers rather than anything to do with water.
THR reports that, ‘The story begins with a bright baby shower when the guests find themselves under darker skies: a meteor shower. These meteors, however, turn men into blood-hungry aliens and the women must fight to not only save themselves but also the world.’
Jac Schaeffer wrote the script, which made last year’s Black List of the best unproduced screenplays. No director is attached, but they’re hoping to get one soon before taking the project to the studios.
I’d almost forgotten the videogame series Assassin’s Creed was getting a movie, partly because it’s been in the works for so far. However, while game to movies have a bad reputation, you have to hope that the presence of Michael Fassbender might raise this one above the rest.

It’s not always easy being a Palestinian, and that’s certainly true for gay Palestinians, who have to survive within a culture that is often very hostile to them (indeed, there have been reports of Israeli security forcing trying to turn gay Palestinians into spies by threatening to out them if they don’t work for them – something that could cost them their lives). However, it’s certainly not all misery and angst for them.
There’s been a fair amount of talk over the years about whether there will ever be a black James Bond, but what about a gay one? Skyfall gave us a bit of mild man-on-man flirtation, but there was never any proper suggestion 007 would be LGBT on screen.
Since The Twilight Saga ended, Robert Pattinson has seemed to steer away from mainstream projects – although he does have the period adventure The Lost City Of Z coming up. You’d think a sci-fi flick would be a shameless bid for box office dollars, but when it’s directed by Claire Denis (Beau Travail) from a script by White Teeth’s Zadie Smith and her husband Nick Laird, it suggests this may be something unusual.
How would you like to be stranded on Mars? Doesn’t sound much fun, does it? Well, that’s what’s happening to Matt Damon in The Martian, which has debuted a new poster.
Set amongst the luch scenery of the Dominican Republic, Sand Dollars sure looks like it’ll be pretty to look at. It also seems like the story will be worth a look – with a tale that contrasts the beauty of the country with the difficulties faced by some of the people there.
