Congratulations to director Mark Forster for landing the gig to direct the, yet be named, next James Bond flick. I loved Forster’s last film, Stranger than Fiction (read the review) so much it made my top eleven list for 2006. Forster will work will Paul Haggis (Crash) on the draft of the screenplay submitted by Neil Purvis and Robert Wade which will return Daniel Craig in the role of 007. So get ready because it seems James Bond will definitely return; look for the new flick November 7, 2008.

Well it seems yet another video game is on its way to the big screen. No, sorry, it’s not Excitebike. Legendary Pictures has optioned the rights to make Diablo into a major motion picture. Yipee. No word yet on what the lead character’s class will be (Necromancer please!). With Legendary Pictures already working on on a World of Warcraft film it seems like the studio is trying to carve out a niche for itself as the new home to continue the legacy of “greatness” in past video game adaptations. Remember Super Mario Bros., Double Dragon, or Doom (I wish I didn’t!). That’s all for now; as always, you’ll know more when we do!
