Ariana Greenblatt, who appeared opposite Margot Robbie in last year’s Barbie, will be pulling a rabbit out of her hat.
The actress is joining the ensemble cast of Now You See Me 3, Lionsgate’s long-in-the-works installment of its heist caper thrillers.
Many of the original cast — Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco — are expected to return. The original movies also starred Morgan Freeman and Mark Ruffalo, although it’s not clear if those two will return.
Ruben Fleischer is directing the movie, which garnered a mention last week at Lionsgate’s presentation at CinemaCon.
Lionsgate had no comment on the casting, and it’s unclear who wrote the script. Seth Grahame-Smith, the genre scribe behind The Lego Batman Movie and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and Eric Warren have penned drafts over the years.

The American Hustle co-stars are reportedly set to appear in Best Of Enemies, a new project which several studios are said to be interested in.
David O Russell’s American Hustle came out almost a decade ago, marking the last time we saw Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper share the screen. In the years since, Bale has continued to build the kind of diverse filmography that we’ve come to expect from the British actor, inhabiting roles that range from controversial politician Dick Cheney to biblical legend, Moses.
Bradley Cooper meanwhile has spent the same period working with high-profile directors such as Paul Thomas Anderson, Clint Eastwood and Guillermo del Toro, as well as making his own name as a filmmaker, first with 2018’s A Star Is Born and also with this year’s Maestro.

“Women Talking” has won the USC Libraries Scripter Award for adapted screenplay in a ceremony that took place on the USC campus in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
The Scripter Award goes to both the writer of an adapted screenplay and the author of the original material on which the screenplay was based, which meant that the award was given to writer-director Sarah Polley and novelist Miriam Toews, whose 2018 novel formed the basis for Polley’s film.
In the 34-year history of the Scripters, the winner has matched the Oscar winner 14 times, most of those in an eight-year streak between 2010 and 2017.
Other finalists were screenwriter Kazuo Ishiguro for “Living,” based on Leo Tolstoy’s novella “The Death of Ivan Ilyich”; screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz and journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey for “She Said”; and Guillermo del Toro, Patrick McHale and Matthew Robbins for “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” based on...

Top Gun: Maverick scored six Oscar nominations this morning including best picture, along with adapted screenplay by Ehren Kruger & Eric Warren Singer, sound, film editing, visual effects and original song for the Lady Gaga tune “Hold My Hand”. The film’s emergence as a best picture threat might have seemed an impossible mission, in that a summer movie that grosses nearly 1.5 billion worldwide moves popcorn, not Oscar voters. This Paramount Pictures film has proven to be the exception and one big reason is this: if Tom Cruise didn’t rescue the theatrical box office business following the Covid pandemic, he certainly pulled it out of a nosedive. While Cruise did not get nominated for best actor, he is squarely in the mix as producer, alongside first time Oscar nominee and hitmaking stalwart Jerry Bruckheimer, Christopher McQuarrie (a double nominee counting the adapted screenplay category) and Skydance principal David Ellison.

The USC Scripter Award, now in its 35th year, honors feature films adapted from novels, short stories, nonfiction books, print media, and other movies, with both the screenplay and its source material feted in each case. This year’s nominees include three of Gold Derby’s five leading contenders for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars — “Women Talking,” “She Said,” and “Living” — as well as “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” which rank seventh and eighth on our predictions list.
The biggest omissions were “Glass Onion” by Rian Johnson, which is in second place in our Oscar race, and “The Whale” by Samuel D. Hunter, which ranks third.
The Scripter has forecast 14 of the eventual Oscar winners for Best Adapted Screenplay, six of which were in the past decade: “Call Me By Your Name” (2018) “Moonlight” (2017), “The Big Short” (2016), “The Imitation Game” (2015), “12 Years a Slave” (2014), and “Argo” (2013).

“Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” has become the first animated film to be saluted at the USC Libraries Scripter Awards, an annual honor that goes to the screenwriters of a film adaptation as well as the authors of the original work on which the film is based.
“Pinocchio” was named as a finalist alongside the screenplays for “Living,” “She Said,” “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Women Talking.” Because the original authors are also recognized, 2023 scripter nominees include 19th century Italian writer Carlo Collodi, who wrote the original version of “Pinocchio” in 1880; Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy, whose 1886 novella “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” was adapted by Akira Kurosawa for the 1952 film “Ikiru” and by Kazuo Ishiguro for 2022’s “Living”; New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, who wrote the book “She Said” about breaking the story of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misconduct and were played in the film version by Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan,...

In a year in which the frontrunners for Best Adapted Screenplay are still unclear, the USC Libraries naming the finalists for the 35th annual USC Libraries Scripter Awards offer more insight into what scripts most stand out. The award, which honors the writers of the year’s most accomplished film and episodic series adaptations, as well as the writers of the works on which they are based, is a major bellwether for the Oscars race, as its winners overlapped with the Best Adapted Screenplay winners from 2011 to 2019. Its voter base is a mix of academics, industry professionals, and critics.
As expected, Sarah Polley’s screenplay for “Women Talking,” an adaptation of Miriam Toews’ 2018 novel, of which the filmmaker has already won several critics awards for, is among this year’s Scripter Award finalists.

“Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” “Living,” “She Said,” “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Women Talking are among the film nominees for this year’s USC Libraries Scripter Awards. In addition, television episodes of “The Crown,” “Fleishman Is in Trouble,” “Slow Horses,” “Tokyo Vice” and “Under the Banner of Heaven” were also recognized.
A strong bellwether for the Oscars’ best adapted screenplay category, previous Scripter winners that have matched the Academy in the last decade include “Argo” (2012), “12 Years a Slave” (2013), “The Imitation Game” (2014), “The Big Short” (2015), “Moonlight” (2016), “Call Me by Your Name” (2017) and “Nomadland” (2020). Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman” (2019) is the only Scripter-eligible film to win the Academy Award without being nominated by the organization.

(A widely lauded adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front was not eligible, as it is not in the English language.)

Jennifer Lawrence will bring Joel Edgerton in from the cold in the upcoming thriller, Red Sparrow.
Red Sparrow, the upcoming espionage thriller from The Hunger Games franchise filmmaker Francis Lawrence, has rounded out its lead roles. Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Lawrence will be playing a trained seductress and Joel Edgerton will be taking the male lead.
Lawrence will be playing state intelligence officer Dominika Egorova, who has been coerced into being trained as a 'Sparrow', which is the spy term for seductress. Edgerton will play a young CIA agent who handles the Agency’s most important Russian mole.
Red Sparrow is based on the spy novel by Jason Matthews. The first draft of the screenplay was written by Eric Warren (American Hustle). It was been re-written by Justin Haythe (Revolutionary Road).
It's set in modern-day Russia where Dominika has infiltrated the intelligence community as a CIA double agent.

While it came as no surprise to hear that Jennifer Lawrence would be taking the lead role in the upcoming thriller Red Sparrow – directed by Hunger Games franchise filmmaker Francis Lawrence – a new, interesting turn of events sees Joel Edgerton circling the position of male lead in that film. The tale is based on the espionage-heavy novel by Jason Matthews, and would see Edgerton engage in high-level drama and seduction with the Academy Award winning actress.
With an initial script by Eric Warren (American Hustle), that has been re-written by Justin Haythe (Revolutionary Road), the drama begins in modern-day Russia, where Dominika Egorova is introduced as a state intelligence officer. Egorova is unhappy in her career, because she has been strong-armed into the role of “Sparrow” – which is the term used to denote an agent trained as a “seductress.”

Exclusive: Sheldon Turner has been hired by New Regency and Ubisoft to write a new draft of Splinter Cell, turning this video game adaptation into a reunion of another movie that hasn’t happened yet. I’ll explain. Turner wrote the Sony Pictures film Everest, about the attempt by George Mallory to be first to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Doug Liman is set to direct that film and Tom Hardy is starring in it. But the picture got postponed after another film called Everest took the hill first, this one about a 1996 climb that turned deadly when a blizzard hit just as the climbers were about to reach the top. Universal Pictures, Working Title and Cross Creek are in production right now, with Sam Worthington and Robin Wright recently joining Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Jake Gyllenhaal, Martin Henderson, Emily Watson and Thomas Wright in the Baltasar Kormakur-directed film.

Ben Affleck certainly knows how to pick his directing projects, continuing on his good streak of films with a Black List script. The project is called "American Bullshit," a script written by Eric Warren. It's centered around the FBI's 1980 undercover sting operation of Congress that was fixed to root out corruption which was the brainchild of the world's greatest con man. However, this isn't the only possible project that Affleck's eyeing right now. Among his list of potential features includes "The Trade" and "Replay." The first one is centered on the wife swap between New York Yankees pitchers Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson while "Replay" is about a radio journalist in his forties who dies, waking up in his eighteen year-old body and gets to relive his life.Each one of these projects sounds really cool, and it must be great having the pick of the liter like Affleck does.

Moving on from "The Town", Ben Affleck is now looking for his next directing project. Rumor has it, the actor/helmer is now putting "American Bullshit" which is written by Eric Warren on the list of his potential project.
"American Bullshit" is now set up at Sony Pictures after coming in number 30 on 2010 Black List, a compilation of favorite screenplays that would not be released during the calendar year. It tells "the true story of Abscam, the FBI's 1980 undercover sting operation of Congress to root out corruption which was the brainchild of the world's greatest con man."
Deadline Hollywood notes that Affleck has not committed to it yet and has several other projects under consideration like "The Trade" scripted by Dave Mandel, and "Replay" adapted from a Ken Grimwood novel to a script by Jason Smilovic.
