Movie|Line sums up all the "will Gary Ross direct The Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire?" serialized drama that's been syndicated all over the internet. I've ignored it until this recap because who has time for meaningless speculation that reverses itself each day?
World of Wonder "The Hunger GAYmes"
Coming Soon Woody Harrelson joining the cast of Out of the Furnace (the new film from Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper) as the villain
Cinema Blend still more Woody news. He's signed on for a cable series with his BFF Matthew McConaughey that sounds like a prestigey version of Cold Case. Why? His film career is going so well at the moment... stranger still is that Cary Fukunaga who has directed two terrific movies (Sin Nombre and Jane Eyre) and needs to keep stoking the early fires of his screen career has signed on to direct it.
The Mary Sue Tim Burton may be lining up another stop motion movie Night of the Living

Flavorwire has an interesting list of the best platonic boy/girl friendships on tv. It is an underexplored realm.
Playbill Margaret obsessives take note. Kenneth Lonergan's next play "Medieval Play" opens in May. It's a story of two French knights described thusly.
A story of friendship, love, noble feats of arms, indiscriminate brutality, the progressive refinement of medieval table manners and the general decline of the chivalric ideal at the onset of the Great Papal Schism of 1378.
So in other words he's going to keep shoving as many ideas as possible into his narratives.

Hmm...I may have misunderstood but thought Woody's new cable venture was a mini-series (vs. long-form), à la Downton Abbey. Who knows—this could be Woody's Mildred Pierce.
I think Mcconaughey is just as talented. I already saw the paperboy and loved it, but I am really looking forward to killer joe. are you excited for that nathaniel?
Mareko -- yeah i think it's like that but let's be honest. Downton Abbey is a series that pretends it's a miniseries for awards purposes ;) CATEGORY FRAUD!
Josh - when/where did you see the Paperboy? Details, please! (a la "How is La Kidman?")
i saw it at a test screening on 34th street. very rough cut, but i liked it a lot. very strange and original. Nicole kidman, mcconaughey, cusack, efron, david oy are great.
