I loved The Hardy Boys as a kid, but this is about as far from appealing as I could think of for an updated screen version. And seriously, Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller? One of them is clearly playing against type, and I'm not sure I like the possiblities of either.
What's up with Shawn Levy getting all this work all of a sudden?

Give it to someone like Guillermo or Aronofsky. Someone who can handle fantasy.

Sir Rupert Murdoch gets what he wants. And what he wants is more money.

So I guess that means his knights of money, Shawn Levy and Brett Ratner, will ride in to finish the sequel when Cohen backs out!
Reuters.com wrote:Natalie Portman (Star Wars prequels) has expressed interest in directing a film version of Israeli writer Amos Oz's internationally acclaimed autobiography, reports Reuters.
Portman, 25, may also act in A Tale of Love and Darkness if it is brought to the big screen, Jerusalem Capital Studios spokesman Danny Levy said.
"JCS has met with Portman to discuss the possibility of her participating in and directing a film version of the book," he said.
A Tale of Love and Darkness describes Oz's upbringing in Jerusalem amid the fighting during which the Jewish state was founded. Israeli media said Portman was interested in playing Oz's mother, who committed suicide when the author was a youth.
Portman was born in Jerusalem and speaks Hebrew.
Film buffs will soon be able to watch Audrey Hepburn's first screen test after the British Film Institute agreed to allow the public to view the contents of its vaults.
Oscar-winning British director Anthony Minghella has announced that reams of previously unseen and rarely-viewed footage will be made available for free.
The film and TV archive also includes a young Sean Connery starring in a TV ad campaign for the Royal National Institute for the Blind and Germaine Greer singing in costume.
Anthony Minghella, who is also chairman of the BFI, told Sky News: "The BFI has been trying to do this for many, many years. We've been trying to make this treasure that we have, this great secret, available to the public."
The British Film Institute has the world's largest film archive.
It includes the episode of Coronation Street where Elsie Tanner pulled her first pint at the Rover's Return. Mr Minghella hopes that the announcement will allow visitors to experience more of their film culture and heritage. "Our present becomes our history very quickly," he said. "Moving image is this pungent and powerful reminder of who we are, what it means to be British."

Apparently this si based on an actual sequel novel by the same Gump author. This one SPOILERS...
Sees the Gump business failed and Gump going through major historical events through the 80s and 90s. He even meets Tom Hanks!!
Hmm, I dunno. The original movie, no matter how much I didn't like a lot of it, at least gave you a great happy ending, though pathed in er, pathos. That ending for me gave me hope and reassurance. I mean through all the bad grief that he went through, Gump came out on top. That business that he had, it was one of the sole foundations for this happy ending. I sy ending, as I feel that it should have set him for life. He was a gold zillionaire right?
Don't undo this happy ending for the sake of a sequel. Don't even bother with the sequel, the ending was perfect, and as far as we were concerned, again, Gump is on course for a pretty happy life after it. Yes it's relative, there will be problems, but man, nothing tragic as the business going tits up and him having to start over like this. It's a bit of a Rocky 5 approach. Unnecessary and implausible as well as crushing and treading all over our hopes.
Anyway, I might be jumping to conclusions about how bad this might all be. I'm only writing from first impressions so I am open to being corrected.
What does anyone else think?
