A 29-year-old director with only one movie under his belt got David Sedaris to agree an adaptation of his work, to be shown at Sundance.

“Penn is also starring with Elijah Wood in the Randall Einhorn-directed Late Bloomer.”

Love Kal Penn.  So happy he joined our project!!!

Congrats to all those on the “list”.  Even more congrats to those that actually get made…

This is a big deal and everyone should understand the impact.

After 15 years of inhabiting the pages of Lee Child’s crime thrillers, that series’s hero finally comes to life in the form of Tom Cruise in “Jack Reacher.”

“Netflix’s new content deal with the Walt Disney Co. will prove to be “a game changer” for the online streaming service…”

And a game changer for all other streaming services as this can serve as the gateway for the consumer not already streaming movies!

Here’s one: Netflix uses Amazon infrastructure, competes with Amazon to deliver streaming video, and pays Amazon massive amounts of cash to handle its data. The fact that Netflix is forking over its data and cash to its competitor ought to raise eyebrows. And not only does Netflix seem to accept this arrangement, it promotes it.

Netflix has been a huge proponent of AWS since 2010, singing its praises on its blog, on stage and in the media. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings even keynoted the Amazon re: Invent cloud conference in Las Vegas this week and brought along 12 other executives to present. And, as its innovations indicate, Netflix has invested a metric ton of development work optimizing on Amazon’s infrastructure.

This is great news for the industry.  Keep going Relativity!!!

Director Randall Einhorn has tapped his “Wilfred” star Elijah Wood to topline Dignity Film Finance’s indie comedy “The Late Bloomer,” based on Ken Baker’s 2001 memoir “Man Made: A Memoir of My Body.”

…producers inside the studios and out are taking the next step: going local. Instead of just adding a few foreign locations to the next American-made tentpole, filmmakers increasingly are making foreign-language versions of U.S. properties.

Reed Hastings has a dream. Actually, it’s more of an obsession. The Netflix CEO wants his streaming video service to become the next HBO, but without the hassle of a cable subscription. It’s a bold plan, and if Netflix can pull it off, it’ll change the way you watch TV.
