  NEW FANTASY ADAPTATION 

SCANDAR & THE UNICORN THIEF

Skandar will be out next spring

This is one of them books that haven't even been published yet but have already been sold for a movie adaptation after causing a race among the publishers to get it for their own house. In the end SCANDAR AND THE UNICORN THIEF was bought by Simon and Schuster for a seven digit sum and will be published next April written by A.F. Steadman. Now Sony Pictures has set Jon Croker to adapt the novel series which  follows a thirteen year old boy whose dreams of becoming a unicorn rider are disrupted when an emerging enemy steals the land’s most powerful unicorn. It was the biggest known deal for a children's debut book.

 BEING THE RICARDOS TRAILER 

SEE NICOLE AS LUCILLE BALL

The Ricardos arrive December 21st

The fact you don't really see Nicole Kidman as Lucille in the trailer tells you a lot, right? It is one of those castings in which everybody expects the actress to do a terrible job and I have a feeling that is what will happen here as well. BEING THE RICARDOS will arrive to Amazon Prime December 21st! The film, which also sees Javier Bardem playing her husband Desi Arnaz,  shows the audience a week in the lives' of Lucy and Desi on the set of their famous sitcom I Love Lucy. It was a week of events that nearly cost them everything. The film was both written and directed by Aaron Sorkin who gave himself certain artistical freedoms while depicting the couple.

  'CORTES' EPIC TV SERIES

JAVIER BARDEM AND SPIELBERG!

Javier Bardem will play Hernan Cortes

After a whole bunch of amazing new epic TV series that I announced yesterday, here's another one, equally brilliant: Amazon has greenlit four episode mini series CORTES coming from Steven Spielberg's production house based on a half a century old script rewritten by Steven Zaillian who got an Oscar for Schlinder's List! Javier Bardem will take the lead role in the epic saga about the infamous conqueror, Hernan CORTES who, some 500 years ago, led a rebellious expedition to the heart of King Montezuma II’s Aztec empire, connecting two civilizations for the first time and changing the course of history. The producers promise a saga filled with drama and adventure. Cortes was celebrated in Europe as someone who expanded Spanish Empire and viewed as genocidal psycho by Aztec tribes who ended one of the greatest civilizations of that time. About five years ago the spy informed you that Scorsese also planned to make a project on Cortes with Benicio del Toro.
