The prospect of a Community movie gets further and further each year, especially as its principal cast moves to newer, high-profile projects. Creator Dan Harmon is still actively pursuing a Greendale reunion, however, and may even recruit Fast and Furious director Justin Lin to do it.
Ya boy Vin Diesel is back on that breaking news beat. In a new “secret” Facebook livestream, your number one source for all things Vin Diesel revealed that two key members of the Fast and Furious fam are returning for the ninth installment in the series: Director Justin Lin (who previously helmed the fourth, fifth and sixth films) and Jordana Brewster (who hasn’t appeared in the series since Furious 7’s farewell to Paul Walker).
Nothing piques my interest quite like a feature-length film based on a documentary. It’s something of a rare occurrence in Hollywood — movies that begin their lives as documentaries aren’t commercially successful enough to encourage further adaptation — but rare doesn’t mean impossible. A quick Google search will reveal plenty of documentary adaptations, including Man on a Wire and Grey Gardens, that went onto some semblance of success with critics and audiences alike. Every now and then, you come across a story so strange — so absolutely overwhelming — that you simply have to bring it to the screen a second time.

We’re still in the legs spinning fast, not actually getting anywhere phase of Space Jam 2 development...
Cinemax wasn’t kidding with their intent to re-re-brand as an action network. Atop a Strike Back renewal, the network is now picking up Tong Wars drama Warrior, based on an idea by Bruce Lee, and produced by Furious franchise director Justin Lin.
Take a look at the cool, cool dude in the shades pictured above. That‘s the face of a man who knows he‘s on top of the world. Dollar signs pop into studio executives’ eyes when they look at Justin Lin, the director who shepherded such massive operations as Fast and Furious films 3-6 and last summer’s Star Trek Beyond through production...

Last week, news broke that Fox would be adapting its sorta-but-not-really popular Behind Enemy Lines movie series for television, and countless people — myself included — wondered aloud if Hollywood needed to cool it with the small screen adaptations of middling action movies. Not to be outdone, CBS announced today that it would be moving forward with a similar adaptation, this time bringing the sorta-but-not-really 2003 movie S.W.A.T. to television.
