Sony Pictures Entertainment has acquired the David Baldacci fantasy novel The Finisher. Matt Tolmach will produce. Scholastic Press will publish in March. Project was brought in by the studio’s Gotham book scout Mark James and will be supervised by Hanna Minghella and Lauren Abrahams, and Kate Checchi for Tolmach. Aaron Priest and Paradigm repped Baldacci. The logline, from the Scholastic catalog: 14-year-old Vega Jane lives in the village of Wormwood, where life is nasty, brutish and short. Villagers have been told that there is nothing outside of Wormwood except for the Quag, a foul forest filled with terrifying beasts. No one comes, no one goes, and Wormwood has stayed this way for generations — until Vega’s mentor Quentin Herms disappears. Quentin leaves Vega a secret message hinting that there’s a way out of Wormwood, and something extraordinary on the other side. As Vega begins to investigate, she realizes...

The 3D revolution is coming to dance. Pioneering film-makers, among them Wim Wenders, tell us why the two were made for each other
Wayne Eagling is not sure what to expect. The choreographer is sitting in front of a large monitor, clunky glasses balanced on his nose. He's about to view the first footage of his ballet Men Y Men, a celebration of the poetry and virtuosity of male dancing, which is being filmed in 3D for TV. "When I think of 3D," he says, "it's always that moment in the Andy Warhol movie Frankenstein, where the stake goes through the body, and the liver seems to be dangling right out of the screen." He jokes nervously: "That's not the kind of effect I'm hoping for here."
When the monitor flickers on, Eagling relaxes. "Its good, very lifelike, almost as if you're watching from the front of stage." The dancers – members of English National Ballet,...

You can notch a #1 Billboard single, score an Olympic gold medal or win a Golden Globe — it still won't erase those awkward moments from your teenage years. That's what we learned on this week's episode of "When I Was 17," when Drake, Jennie Finch and Queen Latifah shared memories of their lives back in the day.
"When I was 17, I used to have this terrible afro," Drake laughed. "You know, an afro is supposed to be big. It's supposed to be a nice sphere and then it's supposed to end. My joint never really ended. It was like a neck afro. It made me look like I had the biggest head in the world."
It got so bad that Drake's friend pretty much...

"Taken" writer Robert Mark Kamen and "Get Smart" producer Atlas Entertainment are collaborating on "The Lord's Day," an action thriller that's been set up at Sony.
Charles Roven and Steve Alexander will produce the project, which is based on a novel by Michael Dobbs, via their Atlas banner.
"Day" centers on a hostage takeover of Britain's House of Lords by terrorists on the first day of a legislative session. The protagonist is Harry Jones, a member of Parliament who is also a former ranking military officer; when Jones attempts to stop the terrorists, he uncovers a more complex and consequential global conspiracy than anyone could have suspected.
Roven called it "high stakes material" that could turn into a "franchise character-based film." Sam Dickerman and Mark James are overseeing for Sony.
The Paradigm-repped Kamen, a frequent collaborator with Luc Besson, penned the French kidnapping thriller "Taken" with Besson; the Fox movie...
