It might just be movie news day here. So, running with that train here are some snippets:

Rian Jonson (the guy who wrote and directed Brick, one of my favorite movies) has written and directed a new film: The Brothers Bloom, about some con men. Color me happy. Find that crayon. The one marked Happy. Now stay within the lines.

(via Gamedaily) In darker news CP Productions has announced it will be working on a new Joust movie. Yes, Joust, the video game.

“Cerenzie calls the new script by Marc Gottlieb “Gladiator meets Mad Max.” The film is set 25 years in the future and includes a Las Vegas suspended in mid-air.”

Will it have people riding giant mutant ostrich? We can only hope.

Virgin has the rights to Dan Dare, and is going to release a new Dan Dare comic written by Garth Ennis. The film side is they are also actively shopping around to film it up. A Dan Dare film? Could be fucking cool! The comic will almost certainly be cool. But a Dan Dare film? Could manage to rock.
