Kurt Cobain Biopic to be Directed by Oren Moverman
Oscar-nominated The Messenger director/co-writer Oren Moverman will co-write and direct a biopic of singer/songwriter Kurt Cobain.
Screenwriter David Benioff (25th Hour, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) first took on the project in 2007 and did first-hand research with Cobain’s old friends. Moverman will rework the script.
The movie about the life, music and 1994 suicide of the Nirvana star will be based on Charles R Cross‘ 2001 biography, Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography Of Kurt Cobain.

Brothers HD Trailer
The trailer for “Brothers“, a compelling tale of how two brothers come to terms with issues of love, loyalty, and manhood-and with the woman caught between them, is online.
Synopsis: “Brothers” tells the powerful story of two siblings, thirty-something Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and younger brother Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal), who are polar opposites. A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Natalie Portman), with whom he has two young daughters. Tommy, his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm. When his Black Hawk helicopter is shot down in the mountains Sam is presumed dead and the Cahill family suddenly faces a shocking void. Tommy tries to fill in for his brother by assuming newfound responsibility for himself, Grace, and the children. In the grief and strangeness of their new lives, Grace and Tommy are naturally drawn together. Their longstanding frostiness dissolves, but both are frightened and ashamed of the mutual attraction that has replaced it.
“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” Comic Con Footage
At San Diego Comic Con, 20th Century Fox tried to act like it was a big surprise, but they did the right thing and brought in Hugh Jackman who jumps on stage and begins to introduce footage from “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”
The footage starts with Jackman and Liev Schreiber in a military jail being recruited by Danny Huston’s Stryker. Then lots of Jackman being turned into the Wolverine and getting pissed off and going after Stryker’s men and ultimately Shreiber’s Sabertooth. Other characters shown including Gambit, The Blob, Wraith, and Deadpool. It’s hard to get a read on how good the movie will be with the fast edits, but it has lots of action, fights, cool stunts, and all those other things you expect from an X-Men movie not directed by Brett Ratner.
