Pacino Shall Express Darker Scenery-Chewing Purpose In ‘Lear’

· Al Pacino will star in a movie of King Lear. If they get DeNiro for Cordelia, this could turn out to be the electrifying Heat re-teaming that Righteous Kill never quite mustered. [Variety]


· The Weinstein Co. optioned Get Happy: the Life of Judy Garland for a biopic adaptation. It’s going to have to really get the pill-popping details right if it hopes to be worshipped as a text as sacred as Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows in the annals of Orthodox Judyism. [Variety]
· The Dark Knight producers Charles Roven and Richard Suckle are developing Damascus Gate for Sony, a thriller set in modern-day Jerusalem in which a masked vigilante who calls himself Camel Man rids its cobbled streets of crime. [THR]
· Nine have signed with APA, including Elizabeth Berkley, Sean Astin, and Louie Anderson. But by morning, one will be dead! (Sorry, we had a Miss Marple moment.) [THR]
