Here are a few interesting and/or noteworthy projects that were recently added to IMDbPro's database of development titles:
Untitled Michel Hazanavicius Project – Hot off their Golden Globe win for The Artist, Hollywood's new super couple Michel Hazanavicius and Berenice Bejo aren't staying silent about their next project - a remake of Fred Zinneman's classic The Search. Thomas Langmann produces the updated version, which now centers on an aid worker in Chechnya looking to help a lost boy reunite with his family.
Untitled Todd Haynes Project – Writer-director Todd Haynes is currently writing a serious script about the Midwest's political landscape inspired by Joe Winston's documentary, What's the Matter with Kansas. He's working on it with Mildred Pierce scribe Jon Raymond.
Untitled Explorers Project – The Pirates movies aside, I'm still not totally comfortable with the whole "based on a theme park ride" idea. It's possible The Haunted Mansion had something to do with that, but in addition to Disney developing a Tiki Room movie, the studio is now planning an action flick based on its theme park's Matterhorn roller coaster. Brian Beletic directs the film with a script by Jason Dean Hall.
One Night Stand – Actor Joel Edgerton, whose dabbled with writing and directing a handful of short films, has struck a deal with New Regency Pictures to produce his feature length script based on his own impulsive encounter. He is currently not attached to star.
Arachnaconda – What's in a name? When it comes to the filmmakers of Sharktopus and Dinoshark, coming up with the right mash-up of scary monsters is as crucial as its title. Lou Diamond Phillips stars in and directs the latest project with the LOL-inducing name from Stephen Niver and Robert James Roessel's newly formed company Monster Machine.

When Sharktopus came out, a local radio station out here in L.A. ran an on-air skit about a bunch of guys making tacky monster movies featuring animal hybrids proving just how ridiculous you can get with these movies.
Monster Machine is making that skit a reality.
