Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
Things move so fast now that a film can be considered all done and dusted with even before its opening weekend is over. This fate hit Edgar Wright's latest, a film with too much quirk and personality for its considerable budget. Not geared towards one specific group (is "teenagers who like old-school computer games, romance and garage rock" even a demographic?), Scott Pilgrim needed more time to find its audience, and its appeal may depend on your tolerance of Michael Cera – a charming and, apparently, limited actor who's been overexposed to the point of annoyance (call it The Jack Black Effect). It brings to mind Dino De Laurentiis's Flash Gordon, a film that had fun with its comic source and surrounded an iffy lead with an amazing cast. Here there are no shortage of great performances to keep things moving as Scott has...

Martha and Dino De Laurentiis have snagged up film rights to the thriller series The Sigma Force, written by James Rollins.
Comprised of six books, the Sigma Force series involves a division of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) program housed beneath the Smithsonian in D.C. Staffed by a collection of “killer scientists” (adventurous scientists paired with military operatives), the Force investigates and secures threatenting scientific information through counterterrorism, research and covert ops.
THR report that the film adaptation will involve a new story line developed especially for this project with an eye toward creating a franchise. Says Dino De Laurentiis:
James Rollins is a master storyteller, the Sigma Force series is rich with complex characters and thrilling action plots, and we can’t wait to turn this treasure trove of amazing stories into a great film franchise.
