Aaron Sorkin’s Facebook Script: “Unpredictable, Funny, Touching And Sad” By Russ Fischer/July 7, 2009 9:04 am EST No surprise that a lot of us were skeptical when Facebook: The Movie was announced, but because Aaron Sorkin (someone who describes himself as ‘computer ignorant’) was tapped to write, you had to wonder what was up. Now ScriptShadow has a review of the script, currently titled The Social Network, and he says it is “a story about greed, about obsession, about our belief that all the money in the world can make us happy....

Charlize Theron Could Topline Atlas Shrugged Mini-Series By Russ Fischer/July 21, 2009 11:00 am EST When the economic crisis went into full swing, bookshops started to notice an odd trend: people who hadn’t read much more than a Grisham or Clancey novel in the last decade were suddenly rabid Ayn Rand fans. Atlas Shrugged, with its message of capitalism unfettered by government control, blasted back onto bestseller charts in the last year, making the long-gestating film adaptation seem a lot more likely....

Confirmed: The Mummy 3 Will Suck By Peter Sciretta/May 1, 2007 1:44 am EST When Universal announced that xXx director Rob Cohen was going to helm a third Mummy film, we expected the worst.

Mamma Mia! Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 14, 2007 1:58 am EST I always say that musicals just aren’t my thing. Maybe it’s the after effects of being forced to watch The Sound Of Music as a kid way more times than anyone should. But in recent years I’ve discovered that the modern musical ain’t so bad. I believe it started with Moulin Rouge, and flowed into Chicago, than last year with Dreamgirls and this year with Hairspray....

Rumor: David Goyer And Jonathan Nolan Working On Third Batman Script?
