He's not as enthusiastic with the progress of their 'Modesty Blaise' project. Lawrence and Tarantino want to remake this 1966 British movie about a supersexy female spy. "We just can't get a screenplay we like. When we do, it should be no problem casting it. Actresses will come out of the woodwork to play Modesty," predicts Bender.

McConaughey and Pollak will portray friends and fellow pediatricians in the story about a workaholic wedding planner (Lopez) whose dedication to her job has kept her from finding a man of her own.

Sum of All Fears - Script Review (Positive)

Fade to Black: Kenneth Branagh is in negotiations to topline the indie feature "Fade to Black." THR states that John Sayles ("Limbo") adapted the screenplay, based on Davide Ferrario's novel. Set in post-World War II Rome, "Black" focuses on the character of Orson Welles, who, while filming at Cinecitta Studios, is plunged into a murder investigation after a series of deaths occur on and around his film set. Oliver Parker ("An Ideal Husband") directs.

The Fantastic Four: JAM! Movies reports that Chris Columbus ("Bicentennial Man") still seems to be determined to helm a screen version of 'The Fantastic Four.' "Bringing this one to the screen is a budgeting nightmare," says Columbus. "One estimate was as high as $280 million US because every time the four characters walk into a scene, it will cost upwards of $100,000." Columbus says all eyes are on Fox's production of The X-Men. "If this one ... does fabulous box-office business, it will revive interest in The Fantastic Four."
