A lot of news to cover this week. First, the cast of 'Short on Time' is finally completed with the addition of Idris Elba and Emily Deschanel. Now all that's left to wait for the release, which should be coming up soon.
Second, Eva Amurri will play the niece of John Turturro and Marisa Tomei who falls in love with an Italian immigrant played by Sebastian Stan. There are just two more roles left to announced.
Third, a new project is entering production: a remake of the 1963 Brazilian horror film ‘À Meia-Noite Levarei Sua Alma’ (At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul), which has been shortened to the more acessible title of 'Midnight.' The flick will star the always great Colin Farrell. It will closely follow the original story, but will be completely Americanized, set in Louisiana during the 1930s with an added voodoo element. The original movie was turned into a trilogy of films, but I have no intention of making a sequel even if the movie is a success. I also believe it'll be the last horror movie you'll see from me for a while.
Martin Scorsese will be directing a big-budget adaptation I wrote of the Greek tragedy 'Oedipus Rex.' It's a risky, highly ambitious project, but if it works, it should turn out well.
And finally, more news on 'The Goonies 2,' which Matt Kubrick will officially direct. It looks like it will come out next season.
