It looks like Tim Burton may actually be making a film without Johnny Depp in the near future. The
Alice in Wonderland director is in the early stages of developing a film version of Victor Hugo’s classic
The Hunchback of Notre Dame with Josh Brolin set to produce and star.
Heat Vision reports that the project is in the very early stages, with Burton waiting on a script to officially sign on for the flick.
Warner Bros. has tapped Kieran and Michele Mulroney (
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) to adapt Hugo’s 1831 novel.
Hunchback tells the story of a deformed bell-ringer in Notre Dame who tragically falls in love with a gypsy. Burton has a pretty full plate, as he’s currently prepping
Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp, but if he likes the script that comes in he could tackle this next. Brolin recently signed on to
Cogan’s Trade with Brad Pitt and is looking to direct and star in
Pitz & Joe. Hit the jump for a synopsis of Hugo’s novel.

Mandy Moore (
Tangled) and Rodrigo Santoro (
I Love You Phillip Morris) will star in the supernatural thriller
Falling Slowly. The film will mark the directorial debut of
Buried scribe Chris Sparling and the sparse details provided by
Variety confirm that Moore and Santoro will make turns as a couple whose apartment is “haunted by a dark presence.” Julie Snyder will produce the pic which is garnering my early attention solely based upon the strength of Sparling’s
Buried script (for which he won the National Board of Review award for Best Original Screenplay).
In addition to Falling Slowly, Santoro also lends his pipes to the upcoming Fox animated film Rio alongside Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg. As for Moore, the recording artist-turned-actress performed a song from Tangled (for which she voiced the lead) at last night’s Academy Awards ceremony.

Farrelly Brothers Working on "Dumb and Dumber" Sequel
Posted: February 28th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com StaffMoviehole caught up with the Farrelly brothers at the "Hall Pass" junket and asked if the duo are considering making a sequel to one of their many hits.
"['Dumb and Dumber'] has run a bunch of times on TV in the states, and kids will come up and they'll be able to quote lines from that – lines that I've long forgotten," said Bobby Farrelly. "If we could get those two guys back together, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels that might be a worthwhile sequel – and that ball is in motion."
He added: "We're starting to think about what those two dimwits would be doing twenty-years later in life, and hopefully we'll be able to come up with something worthy of a sequel."

published: 2011-03-01 00:19:09 Author: Josh TylerWhen Warner Bros. made the official announcement that Anne Hathaway was joining the cast of The Dark Knight Rises, they announced her as playing Selina Kyle. Kyle is the name of the woman beneath Catwoman’s mask which left everyone wondering whether she’ll actually get in the Catwoman costume or will she just be some chick in a pencil skirt with a strange affinity for cats?
Anne sort of answered the question for herself earlier today on Oprah while talking up the job she did hosting the Oscars last night. I say sort of because it’s not as if she looked at the camera and said she’d be wearing the costume. But while talking about her part in Batman she repeatedly refers to the character she’s playing as “Catwoman” and at one point even waves her hands around and shouts “I am Catwoman!” It seems a pretty good indicator that she’ll be doing more than just playing that crazy cat lady named Selina from apartment 2B down the hall. Here’s the full, one-minute Oprah clip. Glean from it what you will: ..............read more;http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Anne-Hathaway-Says-She-s-Catwoman-Not-Just-Selena-Kyle-23408.html
