Shawshank Redemption’s Frank Darabont has been working in the world of TV for the past few years on the likes of The Walking Dead and Mob City. However now he may be heading back to the movies as TheWrap reports that Universal wants him to helm the follow-up to Snow White and the Huntsman.

Lionsgate is taking an interesting tack with the current marketing of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. They aren’t actually mentioning the movie and instead taking us into the propaganda of the Capitol.
It’s got a great cast even if it doesn’t have a name. The untitled film previously called Loomis Fargo already has Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson and Kristen Wiig attached to star, and now they may be joined by Jason Sudeikis, who is in talks to star.
With the likes of We’re The Millers and even Voyage Of The Dawn Treader Will Poulter has made a bit of a name for himself for comedy, however he’s now a BAFTA Rising Star winner and it seems he wants to stretch his acting wings a little, as 
Tate Taylor had a big hit with The Help, but we’re still waiting for his follow-up, Get On Up, a biopic of James Brown (oh, and Tate is gay, if you didn’t know). However he’s already planning what he’s going to do next, as 
After decades in the works, followed by more delays, casting changing, a storm that destroyed the sets and moved the shoot from Australia to South Africa and various other issues, Mad Max Fury Road finally started shooting at the end of 2012.
