Here are a few interesting and/or noteworthy projects that were recently added to IMDbPro's database of development titles:
Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? – With the well of '80s reboots running dry, it's time to usher in a '90s revival. J.Lo's leading the pack with her Nuyorican Productions, updating this forgotten kids gem about a fictional detective agency's attempts to thwart and capture a rogue agent. We only wish original star Lynne Thigpen was still around to dispatch the sleuths.
Knight of Cups – For a filmmaker who spent nearly two decades between releasing films, Terrence Malick seems to be making up for lost time. The director's embarking on a pair of films since wrapping up this year's Tree of Life, bringing his total of current active projects to four -- this one starring Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett and another film called Lawless featuring the duo along side Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara.
Tammy – Newly minted Emmy winner and Bridesmaids scene-stealer Melissa McCarthy wrote this road comedy about a directionless woman and her hard-drinking granny, which has been picked up for development at New Line.
Playdate – Actress-turned-filmmaker Tara Subkoff directs this indie flick starring Radha Mitchell and Natasha Lyonne. Filming is expected to get underway soon.
Lust for Love – Dollhouse alums Felicia Day, Dichen Lachman, Fran Kranz, Enver Gjokaj and Maurissa Tancharoen are teaming up with Australian writer-director Anton King to star in this independent romcom about an innocent guy's efforts to woo women.
