Universal To Reboot Timecop

Universal is throwing into development a remake of Timecop , the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme time travel action movie. Marc Shmuger will produce the film via his Universal-based Global Produce banner alongside Tom McNulty. Timecop , a Universal library title, was set in the near future where time travel is regulated by a police force. One officer ( Van Damme ) runs afoul a crooked politician (played by Ron Silver ) using time travel to further his political career. It was based on a story published by Dark Horse Comics (the movie’s script was co-written by Dark Horse publisher Mike Richardson) and was one of Van Damme’s most successful films, both financially and critically. Timecop also proved to be a mini-franchise for the studio, spawning a short-lived 1997 TV series on ABC and a direct-to-DVD sequel with an all-new cast. The studio is approaching the new Timecop as a reboot and a re-imagining of the concept and is out to writers. Van Damme is not involved. Please Leave

Leslie Mann & Paul Rudd To Reunite

Not A Sequel Or Prequel Universal's decision to reunite Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd for a Knocked Up spin-off is news to warm the cockles on this chilly Friday. The pair had an easy chemistry as married couple Pete and Debbie - her, slightly controlling; him, slightly gormless; both very funny - and, by the standards of your average comedy, offered a pretty realistic depiction of the ebbs and flows of married life. Judd Apatow, Mann's real other half, returns to write and direct. Hitflix sounded Apatow out to find out if he saw it as prequel or sequel to Knocked Up. Neither, it turns out. "It is just a story from Pete and Debbie's current life," Apatow told the site. "People really responded to their characters and problems. I felt like there was a lot of ground I could explore with them, so we'll be shooting in July and will come out the following June."   June 1, 2012, to be exact, and Apatow plans to drip feed plenty more snippets betwee

Denzel Washington To Star In Safe House

Denzel Washington To Find A "Safe House" Denzel Washington is in negotiations to star in the Universal action thriller “ Safe House ,” written by David Guggenheim. Guggenheim’s original spy thriller was snatched up by Universal in a heated bidding environment back in February, and Washington’s name has recently been circulating as a go-to lead for the role of a dangerous prisoner being escorted through mencaing territory by a young CIA agent. “Snabba Cash” director Daniel Espinosa is helming. Scott Stuber is producing. The storyline follows the only surviving agent of an attack on a CIA safe house as he tries to get a lethal prisoner to a second safe house before being taken out by violent forces that want them both dead. "Safe House" would put Washington on familiar action ground, if on the bad-guy side of the dynamic that won him an Oscar for "Training Day" in 2001. Please Leave A Comment- Source- riskybusiness
