Okay, the producer says, give it to me.

Eric G wrote:Because there isn't enough insperation elsewhere, some genius thought it would be a great idea to adapt the XBOX game "Hitman" .
Keeping with this trend, FOX has recently added a couple new members to their crew for the adaptation of the best-selling PC game Hitman.
Hitman Crew Grows
According to Variety, Fox has picked up Skip Woods (Swordfish) to adapt its feature version of the video game Hitman. But who to play the bald-headed specialist? Hmm... decisions. What actor is known for action/adventure films and is bald like the character in the video game? Decisions, decisions. Wait a sec! How about Vin Diesel!
That is correct, Vin Diesel is on the top of a short list to play the international assassin, known as Agent 47, who works for a mysterious org dubbed the Agency.
Fox's move for Hitman has further confirmed that video game adaptations may be the next big thing behind comic books and novels, with the studio already throwing support for another video game adaptation title, Halo. Joining up with Universal, Fox has already received media attention for the project by picking up Peter Jackson [Lord of the Rings, King Kong] to step in as executive producer; a move that could mean he is in a position to direct as well.
The first three games in the Hitman gaming franchise have sold more than 5 million units. Therefore, Fox will attempt to follow suit by creating an entire film franchise on the series.

Basterds was a nice turn, but Meyer's resume is heavily weighted towards repetition.

who wouldn't keep repeating if they kept getting paid what Meyer's pulls down for those Shrek and Powers movies, i can just see someone now, "no thank you, i'd rather not bank that $30 million, and get to have a lot of say in how things are done, no, i think i'd rather go work on a film where i get paid much less along with having much less control".

Hasbro on Monday hyped the growth of its kids TV network the Hub, upcoming summer sequel "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" and tie-ins to "Thor" and "Captain America: The First Avenger" as key drivers to its bottom line this year after the lack of new movie-related product dragged down earnings in 2010.
Mattel also heralded film properties -- including licenses to "Cars 2" and "Green Lantern" -- as a bright spot to its year as the world's largest toy company reported earnings last week.
Company said it may produce a live-action musical feature adaptation of its Monster High toy line for 2012. The Monster High dolls, which bowed last summer, are the kids or other relatives of such classic Universal monsters as Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman. Mattel also has pics based on Barbie and Major Matt Mason set up at U.
Although Hasbro's profits were up 6% to $375 million last year, sales fell slightly to $4 billion from $4.07 billion.
During the fourth quarter -- the peak holiday shopping period, when more than a third of toymakers' sales are typically generated -- sales were off by 7% to $1.28 billion, which caused profits to drop 15% to $140 million.
About 40% of its sales are earned in North America, but the fourth quarter was the first time Hasbro saw international revenue top sales in the U.S. and Canada.
Either way, sales in the boys category fell 34% to $239 million during the quarter, compared to 2009, when pics like the Hasbro-produced "Transformers" and "G.I. Joe" played at the box office or on homevideo and spun off a line of action figures that filled store shelves.
The girls' side, behind such brands as My Little Pony, held steady at $133 million. Games and puzzles (including Monopoly, Battleship, Scrabble and Life) rose 22% to $262 million, while the preschool category climbed 32% to nearly $104 million.
Hasbro chief Brian Goldner was upbeat on the Hub's growth this year, its first full year on the air as a co-venture with Discovery Communications. Channel bowed in October with 50 advertisers; it now has 80. Ratings are also up month-to-month. "We understand we have ratings that are building over time," Goldner said.
Costs to launch the channel, however, dragged down profits.
Overall, Mattel's earnings during its end-of-the-year quarter dipped 1% to $325 million. Revenue was up 9% to $2.1 billion. For 2010, Mattel reported a nearly 30% boost in profits of $685 million from an 8% increase in sales of nearly $5.9 billion.
Mattel's Barbie, American Girl and Monster High doll lines were key sellers, as was Fisher-Price and its license with World Wrestling Entertainment. Barbie's Ken turns 50 this year and is the focus of the new reality series, "Genuine Ken: The Search for the Great American Boyfriend."
Mattel will pony up considerable coin to continue battling an ongoing copyright infringement case against MGA over ownership of the Bratz doll brand.

"When we were accepted to Sundance, we didn't have the series rights, but then the Three's Company estate contacted us," James reports. "At first they were opposed to it, but then they saw what we did (a startling dramatic take) and loved it. So they are now talking to us about developing a Three's Company feature film and an off-Broadway play."
While Franco's art project cast his assistant as Janet and a bearded man as Chrissy, I'm picturing Zooey Deschanel as Janet and SNL's Kristen Wiig as Chrissy jiggling it up alongside James' Jack Tripper.
