Hitchcock Redux is becoming a genre all its own.  Sony announced that they have greenlit a remake the 1927 silent Alfred Hitchcock thriller about a a man suspected of being a serial killer, The Lodger.  Writer/director David Ondaatje (Waiting for Dr. MacGuffin) will write, direct, and produce a new updated film based off the novel by Marie Belloc.  This marks Ondaatje’s feature film debut as a director, but hey, anybody can do Hitchcock nowadays, right?

Samuel L. Jackson will appear as Nick Fury in a cameo performance in next year’s Iron Man, which also leads you to wonder if this means Jackson will also star in the proposed Nick Fury feature film.  The Ultimate-line version of Nick Fury was modeled after Jackson, so the casting makes perfect sense, but I just hope this doesn’t mean other Ultimate-line choices will take prescednece over the established Marvel Comics history if and when the much rumored Avengers movie gets made.  Also no word yet on if Jackson has contacted David Hasselhoff for advice on portraying the character.
