Writing a feature film is easy. All you need is one gimmicky logline, as cheap and single-serving-disposable as a coffee pod from the complimentary hotel room K-Cup spinner. Once you stumble upon one of these so-called “high concept” ideas, the script practically writes, sells and produces itself. It’s creative work for stupid babies, as all filmmakers will surely agree–totally unlike, in other words, the act of conceptualizing an entire episodic series, a demonstration of storytelling virtuosity so complex and adult it straddles the border between ancient Euclidean geometry and New Age witchcraft.
Okay, so maybe that’s a little extreme. But for aspiring series creators and showrunners, structuring a workable, potentially long-running television concept requires imagination and problem-solving on both the micro- and macro- levels–a mastery of tone, plot and characterization across variable interlocking units of temporal storytelling: scenes, dramatic acts, full episodes, multi-episode arcs and complete seasons.

The Film Independent Screenwriting Lab is 25 years old. Can you believe it? It’s officially old enough to rent a car! And sure, hardshell clams and giant tortoises can live for centuries, but you don’t reach the quarter-century mark as a Hollywood talent incubator without substance, value and tangible success.
But more than that, this year’s cohort of freshly announced Screenwriting Lab Fellows are special. Why? Because! We’re in the midst of celebrating #AD30, aka the 30th anniversary of Film Independent’s Artist Development programs. And like its elder sibling Project Involve (which got the whole ball of wax rolling in ‘93), the Screenwriting Lab has been an essential industry resource, whether your looking to develop your own skills or tap new talent.

Bandai Namco-owned Japanese animation series “Tiger & Bunny” has been optioned for adaptation as an English-language, live-action production for the third time.
Independent U.S. production entity Sk Global announced that it will develop the property as a series in partnership with Bandai Namco Pictures and with M. Raven Metzner adapting and show-running.
The “Tiger & Bunny” franchise features heroic crime fighters operating in Stern Bild, a fictionalized, near future version of New York City. The franchise was launched in 2011 as both a manga and anime series that played on late night TV in Japan. It quickly gave rise to two feature movies and a stage play in 2012.

For decades, Hollywood has strived — and failed — to assemble the massive robot mecha “Voltron” for a live-action adaptation of the beloved 1980s animated TV series.
Now, “Red Notice” director Rawson Marshall Thurber hopes he’ll be the one to bring the robot lion arms, legs and head together.
The filmmaker, who also directed Dwayne Johnson films “Skyscraper” and “Central Intelligence,” is attached to direct and co-write a “Voltron” movie in a package that is currently fielding offers from multiple studios. Todd Lieberman and David Hoberman (“Beauty and the Beast”) are producing with Bob Koplar of World Events Productions, the company that holds the “Voltron” rights.
Thurber is writing the screenplay with Ellen Shanman.
Although the original “Voltron” only ran from 1984 to 1985, it captivated young audiences with its story of a team of five people who fight the forces of evil in giant robotic lions that link together to form the even bigger titular robot warrior.

A live-action feature adaptation of Voltron, co-written and to be directed by Red Notice‘s Rawson Marshall Thurber, has sparked a bidding war among both studios and streamers, Deadline can confirm.
Thurber and Ellen Shanman penned the script, which was based on the former’s story. Todd Lieberman and David Hoberman will produce the film alongside Bob Koplar, whose company World Events Productions controls rights to Voltron.

Red Notice director Rawson Marshall Thurber is set to direct Netflix’s feature adaptation of The Division, which is based on the popular video game, with Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain on board to star.

If the Internet can’t convince Eon Productions to cast Idris Elba as James Bond, perhaps his new role can land him a villain gig in Bond 24. Elba is set to voice Shere Khan in Disney and Jon Favreau's take on “The Jungle Book.” Favreau will use live-action and VFX to bring the story to the screen. Expect to see this sooner than later as Disney is neck and neck with Warner Bros. with their own version of Rudyard Kipling’s classic.

The last time we saw Charlize Theron was in 2012, when she was being a total douchebag in space for Ridley Scott.s Prometheus and a total bitch in the woods for Rupert Sanders. Snow White and the Huntsman. And before that, she was a self-centered grunt in Jason Reitman.s Young Adult. Luckily, the next project she.s eyeing features a far more sympathetic woman at its core. She and her producer partners at Denver and Delilah Films have acquired the 2008 novel Everything Nice, from author Ellen Shanman, and Theron may also take the lead role. Universal snatched up the project based on a pitch, and this should be a fine balance for the busier movies in their 2015 release schedule, including Jurassic World and Fast & Furious 7. The novel is largely comedic and very female-centered, focusing on Michaela "Mike" Edwards, an advertising executive who finds herself in the middle of an...
