Dead Space movie is in the works based on the video game. At a Comic-Con panel about video game adaptations, Marks has said the film shouldn't be 100% faithful to the game in its execution, citing instead: “You would be making ‘Event Horizon’ or ‘Alien,' I’ve already seen that movie.” Marks elaborated further by saying the filmmaker should strive to tell the main character's story in a way designed for the film medium.
Gina Carano in a movie called Avengelyne. Carano and Liefeld are said to be reworking the title into a starring vehicle for Carano in the vein of the "Underworld" franchise, featuring Carano as a fallen angel fighting off demons and monsters.

Paul Greengrass eyes The Trail Of The Chicago 7. The true story follows protesters who disrupted the 1968 Democrat party convention with an anti-Vietnam war "carnival" that turned nasty.

The police were not charged but the protesters were accused of inciting a riot. One was jailed for contempt, leaving the seven to fight the charges.

Nicholas Sparks book The Best Of Me is to be a film. The book, published in 2011, is officially described as follows: In the spring of 1984, high school students Amanda Collier and
Dawson Cole fell deeply, irrevocably in love. Though they were from
opposite sides of the tracks, their love for one another seemed to defy
the realities of life in the small town of Oriental, North Carolina. But
as the summer of their senior year came to a close, unforeseen events
would tear the young couple apart, setting them on radically divergent
paths.
Now, twenty-five years later, Amanda and Dawson are summoned back to Oriental for the funeral of Tuck Hostetler, the mentor who once gave shelter to their high school romance. Neither has lived the life they imagined... and neither can forget the passionate first love that forever changed their lives. As Amanda and Dawson carry out the instructions Tuck left behind for them, they realize that everything they thought they knew—about Tuck, about themselves, and about the dreams they held dear—was not as it seemed. Forced to confront painful memories, the two former lovers will discover undeniable truths about the choices they have made. And in the course of a single, searing weekend, they will ask of the living, and the dead: Can love truly rewrite the past?

A Butterfly Effect reboot is on the way! In spite of the original film being less than a decade old and in spite of the sequels that arrived in its wake, The Butterfly Effect is up for the "reboot" treatment. Yes, "reboot" not remake, as Variety is saying. The new film is being written by Eric Bress, who co-wrote/directed the
2004 film which starred Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart. The former played a
young man who could travel through time, but there were dangerous
circumstances involved.
WB plans a John McAfee biopic. McAfee, an anti-virus software pioneer who made millions in Silicon
Valley over the past two decades, sold off everything he owned and moved
into a fortified compound in Belize. Late last year, McAfee became the

feuded with McAfee over his dogs. The dogs were allegedly fed poison and
died and the man was discovered dead some time later, murdered
exeuction-style.
WB's also plans to bring Quasimodo to the big screen staring Josh Brolin. With the story dating back to 1831, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" has been adapted dozens of times across film, television, radio, and for the stage (including in musical and ballet versions). Set in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, the novel tells of Quasimodo, a deformed hunchback who dwells within and who falls in love with a dancing Gypsy, Esmeralda.
WB's will bring the book of the Lost Girls: An Unsolved American Mystery. the true crime text is officially described as follows:
One late spring evening in 2010, Shannan Gilbert, after running through the oceanfront community of Oak Beach screaming for her life, went missing. No one who had heard of her disappearance thought much about what had happened to the twenty-four-year-old: she was a Craigslist prostitute who had been fleeing a scene—of what, no one could be sure. The Suffolk County Police, too, seemed to have paid little attention—until seven months later, when an unexpected discovery in a bramble alongside a nearby highway turned up four bodies, all evenly spaced, all wrapped in burlap. But none of them Shannan's.
There was Maureen Brainard-Barnes, last seen at Penn Station in Manhattan three years earlier, and Melissa Barthelemy, last seen in the Bronx in 2009. There was Megan Waterman, last seen leaving a hotel in Hauppauge, Long Island, just a month after Shannan's disappearance in 2010, and Amber Lynn Costello, last seen leaving a house in West Babylon a few months later that same year. Like Shannan, all four women were petite and in their twenties, they all came from out of town to work as escorts, and they all advertised on Craigslist and its competitor, Backpage.
In a triumph of reporting—and in a riveting narrative—Robert Kolker presents the first detailed look at the shadow world of escorts in the Internet age, where making a living is easier than ever and the dangers remain all too real. He has talked exhaustively with the friends and family of each woman to reveal the three-dimensional truths about their lives, the struggling towns they came from, and the dreams they chased. And he has gained unique access to the Oak Beach neighborhood that has found itself the focus of national media scrutiny—where the police have flailed, the body count has risen, and the neighbors have begun pointing fingers at one another. There, in a remote community, out of sight of the beaches and marinas scattered along the South Shore barrier islands, the women's stories come together in death and dark mystery. Lost Girls is a portrait not just of five women, but of unsolved murder in an idyllic part of America, of the underside of the Internet, and of the secrets we keep without admitting to ourselves that we keep them.
Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce and potentially star in King Harald, a historical biopic about Harald Hardrada, the 11th century Viking king.

King Harald isn't the only historical biopic that DiCaprio is said to be eyeing. Appian Way is, according to recent reports, also developing the story of the "Mad Monk"Rasputin.

J.R. Moehringer grew up listening for a voice: It was the sound of his missing father, a disc jockey who disappeared before J.R. spoke his first words. As a boy, J.R. would press his ear to a clock radio, straining to hear in that resonant voice the secrets of masculinity, and the keys to his own identity. J.R.'s mother was his world, his anchor, but he needed something else, something more, something he couldn't name. So he turned to the bar on the corner, a grand old New York saloon that was a sanctuary for all types of men — cops and poets, actors and lawyers, gamblers and stumblebums. The flamboyant characters along the bar — including J.R.'s Uncle Charlie, a Humphrey Bogart look-alike; Colt, a Yogi Bear sound-alike; Joey D, a soft-hearted brawler; and Cager, a war hero who raised handicapping horses to an art — taught J.R., tended him, and provided a kind of fatherhood by committee. When the time came for J.R. to leave home, the bar became a way station — from his entrance to Yale, where he floundered as a scholarship student way out of his element; to his introduction to tragic romance with a woman way out of his league; to his stint as a copy boy at the New York Times, where he was a faulty cog in a vast machine way out of his control. Through it all, the bar offered shelter from failure, from rejection, and eventually from reality — until at last the bar turned J.R. away.
