The scribbling pair of the sci-fi action starring Charlize Theron, "Aeon Flux", have been brought on board the comic book adaptation project, "The Boys". The two screenwriters, Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay, are now set to adapt the Dynamite Entertainment's comic book series to the big screen.

Preparing the script for Columbia Pictures, they are expected to pen the story of a CIA squad known as "The Boys" and their adventures as they are given the mission to pay attention to the increasing numbers of superheroes. Aside from scripting this movie for Columbia, the pair is also working together on adapting Universal Pictures' "R.I.P.D.".

Written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Darick Robertson, "The Boys" was originally published by Wildstorm in October 2006. The movie version will be produced by Neal H. Moritz and his Columbia-based Original Films. No particular director has been linked to this project yet.

HOW could this happen? The question springs to mind as 20th Century Fox claims it has the rights to the graphic novel on which Warner Brothers is basing "Watchmen," its giant superhero movie.

Peer deeper into the murk of Hollywood's business practices, though, and the question becomes: How could it not?

The film industry was buzzing last week after a federal judge here allowed Fox to proceed with a lawsuit contending that Warner had filmed "Watchmen" without bothering to acquire rights that Fox says it has owned for 22 years. This eagerly anticipated movie is directed by Zack Snyder, of "300" fame, and is based on the illustrated series (republished as a graphic novel) by Alan Moore and David Gibbons.

Warner, of course, begs to differ with Fox. So the studios are squared off for battle. Fox wants an injunction blocking the movie's planned release on March 6. Warner wants Fox to go away.

Studios have certainly fought like this in the past. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Sony Pictures Entertainment, for instance, swapped lawsuits a decade ago over Sony's plan to make a series of James Bond films to rival MGM's. MGM won, more or less, after Sony settled and dropped its films. But Sony soon wound up distributing a Bond movie, the highly successful "Casino Royale," as it became financially involved with a reorganized MGM.

That battle grew from a decades-old fight between the filmmaker Kevin McClory and the author Ian Fleming over the rights to "Thunderball" (Mr. McClory had contributed to the screenplay).

The Fox-Warner tiff turns on matters potentially more nettlesome to the industry at large. Central to Fox's complaint is the mysterious matter of what is called turnaround.

On its face, turnaround is a contractual mechanism that allows a studio to release its interest in a dormant film project, while recovering costs, plus interest, from any rival that eventually adopts the project. But turnaround is a stacked deck.

The turnaround clauses in a typical contract are also insurance for studio executives who do not want to be humiliated by a competitor who makes a hit out of their castoffs.

That trick turns on a term of art: "changed elements." A producer of a movie acquired in turnaround who comes up with a new director, or star, or story line, or even a reduction in budget, must give the original studio another shot at making the movie because of changed elements, even if a new backer has entered the picture.

Thus, "Michael Clayton" was put in turnaround by Castle Rock Entertainment (which, like Warner, belongs to Time Warner). When George Clooney became attached to star in it, however, Castle Rock stood on its right to be involved as a producer of what turned out to be an Oscar-nominated film.

Fox, in its complaint filed in February with the United States District Court for the Central District of California, contended, among other things, that Lawrence Gordon, a producer of "Watchmen," was given a somewhat unusual perpetual turnaround right under an agreement reached in 1994. Such rights are conventionally given for a finite period, but Mr. Gordon, as a powerful producer who was once a Fox studio chief, may have had an edge.

According to the court filings, Fox had declared its willingness to part with the project under certain terms in 1991. In any case, Fox says, Mr. Gordon was supposed to resubmit "Watchmen" to Fox every time he came up with a changed element.

There certainly were changes. At one point, Terry Gilliam ("Brazil") was supposed to direct it, at another, Darren Aronofsky ("The Fountain"), and at still another, Paul Greengrass ("The Bourne Ultimatum"). Writers have included Sam Hamm ("Batman"), David Hayter ("X-Men") and Alex Tse ("Sucker Free City"), among others.

Paramount, still another party in the mix, was once close to making the film. But its new chairman, Brad Grey, backed away and created a turnaround of his own in 2005.

Tantalizingly, Fox's complaint, which does not name Paramount, said that Warner settled a dispute with an unidentified "purported rights holder" by sharing part of its own claimed interest. Patricia S. Rockenwagner, a Paramount spokeswoman, says her studio has foreign distribution rights to the film.

Warner gave "Watchmen" the go-ahead when Zack Snyder, immediately after his surprise hit with "300," took it under wing. Yet Mr. Gordon, by Fox's account, never checked back with Fox about any of this.

Mr. Gordon did not respond to requests for comment. Warner, both in court and in a statement last week, said it had done everything legally necessary to make the film.

In the real world, of course, turnaround — along with much of Hollywood's machinery for securing film rights — long operated with a certain degree of messy pragmatism. Elements might change. Producers would proceed on a wink and a nod. When things were stuck, a bit of horse-trading got them moving again.

But the stakes have become too high for that sort of informality. "It's gotten a lot more difficult," Larry Stein, a veteran Hollywood lawyer at Dreier Stein Kahan Browne Woods George, said of the entire business of rights protection.

Studios, Mr. Stein added, "are securing their self-interest in every way they can." After all, who wants to slip up when the fifth sequel to "Batman" can take in half a billion dollars at the domestic box office?

WARNER has been stung lately in some very different situations involving rights. In March, a federal judge here ruled that the heirs of Jerome Siegel, a co-creator of Superman, the studio's mainstay hero, were entitled to reclaim a share in the copyright of the character. Lawyers for the studio have not yet given up the fight, and proceedings are continuing over what that will mean in dollars and cents. The studio's New Line Cinema unit is also embroiled in continuing litigation with the heirs of J. R. R. Tolkien over their claim to have been defrauded of profits due from the blockbuster "Lord of the Rings" series.

In the "Watchmen" case, it remains to be seen whether the presiding judge, Gary A. Feess, will grant an injunction blocking the movie's release while sorting things out. But in 2005, Judge Feess issued an injunction blocking the planned release of Warner's film "Dukes of Hazzard" in a rights dispute, leading to a settlement under which the studio paid $17.5 million to a producer who claimed infringement.

There will be motions and hearings aplenty, however, before it comes to that. And those who watch closely may see enough of Hollywood's process to wonder how movies get made at all.

"I've had this plan for like 10 years for a big three-picture Superman thing, like a Lord of the Rings epic, starting over from scratch again with a seven-hour Superman story. One to be released each year." [Mark] Millar said.

Millar says there's nothing firm yet, but he hopes to get word over the next few weeks. If everything goes perfectly, they'll be shooting next summer.

[Meho Krljic]

Heh... Nisam video ovu vest. Millar još od The Authority tvrdi da je stavljen na DC-jevu crnu listu i da zato od tada ništa za njih nije pisao. Kako Warner poseduje DC, sve to ne gomili ne daje verovatan ishod, ali videćemo, dešavale su se i čudnije stvari.

[DušMan]

The premiere of the CW's "90210" -- arguably the most crucial series of the fall season -- became the highest-rated scripted debut in the network's two-year history.

Tuesday night's two-hour premiere was seen by 4.9 million viewers and garnered a 2.6 rating among adults 18-40. That surpasses the CW's previous scripted record in the adult demo by 18%, set by a premiere of the long-running cult favorite "Smallville" (2.2). The "90210" number also ties the network's premiere record once reached by reality hit "America's Next Top Model."

TV critics were braced for disaster after CW refused to send out screener copies of the show (the debut was actually reworked until nearly the last minute). But most critics were generally pleased with the result, calling the show a serviceable-if-tame update of the 1990s original.

The "90210" returns are considered to have outsized importance. No network has more riding on a single show than the CW has on "90210." If the CW does not improve, industry insiders have whispered this summer, corporate parents Warner Bros. and CBS Corp. might fold the network. And of all the CW's new shows, only the teen soap sequel was considered to have a real shot of significantly moving the needle. To paraphrase the network's "90210" slogan, the CW is living by the code.

"It needs to be something that is surprising," a company insider said last week of the "90210" rating. "An 'I didn't know the CW could do that kind of number' number."

By setting a new scripted record, last night's tally could fit the bill. Combined with "Gossip Girl" showing some growth on Monday, "90210" should give CW some breathing room if the show can continue to carry a fair amount of its number into next week. Now that's a big If, since last night doubtless contained a significant amount of one-time curiosity tune-in. But "90210" numbers also improved over the course of the show's two hours among all key demographics, which is a hopeful sign that audiences remained engaged in the show.

"I think it's probably excessive to pin the survival of a network on a single show, but unquestionably the relaunch of this well-known franchise is going to be inordinately important in bringing some heat back to the CW, and forestalling further erosion of their audience," TV historian Tim Brooks said. "Youth-oriented networks, more than anyone, need heat."

Also: In its second week in its new time period, NBC's "America's Got Talent" (10.6 million viewers, 2.8/8) posted a Tuesday low. Fox won the night with repeats, followed by NBC, CBS led by "Big Brother" (6.5 million 2.4/6) and ABC, which aired the finale of "Wanna Bet" (3.9 million, 1.5/4). Convention ratings will be posted later today.

Igrice dobile virtuelno čulo dodira

Japanski stručnjaci uspeli su da stvore virtuelno čulo dodira uz pomoć ultrazvuka.

Takayuki Iwamoto i njegovi kolege sa Univerziteta u Tokiju predstavili su sistem koji putem fokusiranih ultrazvuka stvara čulo dodira u vazduhu, javlja BBC.

Zvuk se širi kroz vazduh kao zvučni pritisak, a potom se stvaraju tačke koje se doživljavaju kao površine čvrstih predmeta.

Japanski prototip sastoji se od uređaja koji stvaraju ultrazvukove i kamere koja prati položaj ruke prilagođavajući emitovanje tako da ona oseća dodir s ivicom ili površinom virtuelnog predmeta.

Nakon što je svoj izum predstavio na konferenciji u Kaliforniji, japanski je tim odmah dobio ponude da ga poveže s programima za 3-D modeliranje ili video-igrama.

Nažalost, uređaj za sada ima ograničenu snagu što ograničava doživljaj čvrstoće predmeta, a jedan od razloga je to što bi prevelika snaga mogla izazvati oštećenja uha.

[Meho Krljic]

Da, da... Mene Goran već par nedelja juri da napišem jedan tekst o videoigrama koji bi obuhvatio svu širinu tog fenomena. Još uvek ga pripremam ali barem imam spreman naslov: NE ZOVITE IH IGRICE.

[ridiculus]

Srpski jezik je izgleda sklon deminutivima: igrice, crtaći, pornići... Ili, bolje rečeno, Srbi su skloni deminutivima.

[Meho Krljic]

Srbi su teška stoka, poznajem ih ja nekoliko...

[---]

hm... nemojte tako. možda su ipak u pitanju pre hipokoristici, imena odmilja, nego čisti deminutivi.

nekako, kad kažeš pornić... to je odmilja, ne umanjuješ mu valjda time značaj? nisam siguran, ali mi se čini da je reč o tome kako upotrebom reči pornić postaješ nekako blizak sa tim delom audio i video produkcije. a to je odlika hipokoristika.

takođe, reč "igrica" ne mora da znači samo da je to igra za decu pa smo je zbog toga "umanjili", pošto "pornić" nismo sigurno umanjili jer se radi o prikazu seksualnog odnosa na video kaseti koju treba da gledaju deca.

ali šta tek reći o pornićima koji su nacrtani? ajme...

[DušMan]

ako uzmemo da je 'pornić' deminutiv, da li bi onda originalna reč bila 'pornjava'?

sva ova priča o deci i pornićima me vraća u dane kad sam, kao đak nekog od prvih razred osnovne, na spisku kaseta lokalnog video kluba (koji je vremenom postao lanac 'Žabac', hihi - eto rime) našao film 'Razdevičen 4. jula' i pomislio da to mora biti film za mene čim sadrži datum mog rođenja u naslovu.

[lou benny]

kad ono, tinu-ninu, ti na filmu s nekom do jaja ribom?!

[crippled_avenger]

[crippled_avenger]

lou, zašto misliš da je DušMan slabić koji mora da bude razdevičen od strane neke ribe? Ja mislim da on već od prvog odnosa treba da se suoči sa pravim iskušenjem a to su zreli muškarci...

[DušMan]

Sva sreća pa sam u godinama kad ni ne pomišljam na seksualne odnose. Za nekih desetak godina, kad stasam, možemo da pričamo na tu temu.

Mada, to sa filmom, policijskom sirenom i do jaja ribom zaista ne zvuči loše.

[ridiculus]

[Meho Krljic]

Iznenađen sam da je Sony u levoj tabeli na drugom mestu, mada je istina da je PSP eksplodirao u Japanu kada je objavljen Final Fantasy Crisis Core. A pošto tu treba da se prisaberu i laptopovi i, pretpostavljam kojekakvi MP3 plejeri i sranja onda OK. Srećom, druga tabela pokazuje kako stvari stoje sa samim softverom: Sony na poslednjem mestu. Ako ih God of War 3 ne izvuče, nek razmišljaju šta će.

[Meho Krljic]

Nego, nejasno mi je otkud EA među gubitašima. Mislim, Take 2 iznad njih?? Čak i D3??? Jel ima tamo neka analiza ovih tabela?

[ridiculus]

Pa, imaš detaljno objašnjenje za svakog od 20 izdavača, ali nisam sad u situaciji da ti dam link. Verujem da se pod Sony-jevim imenom ipak računa samo njihova igračka divizija: SCE. PS3 je skup i to objašnjava njihove prihode, ali kako ga prodaju s gubitkom, rezultat je očigledan. Ili probaj da pronađeš sam na Edge-ovom sajtu (nešto tipa "izdavači u 2008."), ili pričekaj da dođem kući pa ću linkovati.

Što je još gore preksinoć mi je Sunčicina koleginica rekla da ličim na Novaka Đokovića (želi moje telo a nije znala kako pred ženom da mi to saopšti pa se odlučila za ovu diverziju koju sam ipak ispravno razumeo), a sinoć me DušMan uvredi da sam isti Čeda Jo madafakin kap killa.

Inače, Ghoule, pa TEBI sam i hteo da pošaljem PM-om. Ali evo, nek se vesele mladi. Korben je ovo sjajno iscrtao, ali kako već rekoh, narativno je dosta zbrzano.

A, da i ovo Kriplovo je baš duhovito, a ako negde ima da se pročita to Ćirino, ja bih rado. Poznajem brata njegove bivše devojke, ako to pomaže...

Ja uopšte nisam ejpovao Ćiru, kako Ghoul maliciozno zaključuje, iako ne sporim da je on talentovaniji pisac. Njegov tekst, čini mi se iz NINa, je potpuno drugačiji. Ćira i ja delimo fascinaciju jednim drugim generalom, Slavkom Lisicom, ali o tome drugi put...

zaista je neozbiljno (da ne kažem 'klinački') nazivati moj komentar 'malicioznim'.

'malicioznim' ga može smatrati samo neko ko se okružio čankoliscima koji mu titraju jajca i ko nije sposoban da sebe sagleda u nekom kontekstu koji NIJE obojen vizurama svojih kućnih prijatelja.

usporedbe radi, i radi dokaza (i ako je dokaz za ghoulove tvrdnje uopšte potreban): magični ćira projektuje svoj filmski ukus na gen. mladića na beskrajno duhovitiji način nego što dimbo projektuje svoj filmski ukus na gen. mladića, ovde:

http://www.dejanognjanovic.com/index.php/ZEZANJE/611-magi%C4%8Dni-%C4%87ira-sre%C4%87e-gen.-mladi%C4%87a.html#611

[crippled_avenger]

Što se duhovitosti tiče, gore sam rekao da mislim da je Ćira bolji pisac od mene. A uostalom, posetioci sajta mogu i sami da procene iako smatram da ova dva teksta niti su za poređenje, niti su slični. Moj je pisan u formi vrlo filmofilske simulacije novinske vesti o generalu Mladiću u kojoj se u stvari bavim nekim filmovima koje očekujem, a Ćirin je pisan kao kratka priča u Ich formi u kojoj se zapravo bavi pisanjem dnevnopolitičke kolumne. Ne samo da se na nivou sadržaja ne mogu porediti, a ni na nivou forme, nego im se ni dužine ne poklapaju.

Što se ostatka tvog malicioznog posta tiče, o mojim prijateljima, nemam šta na to da dodam. Moji prijatelji koji su prisutni ovde na forumu su odrasli ljudi i verujem da će odreagovati na ovu uvredu. Mislim da će čankolisci poput Žike i Meha reći nešto u svoju odbranu, ili će se složiti sa tvojom definicijom. Ako se budu složili, onda ću ti biti zahvalan što si me upozorio na njihovu neiskrenost.

Ipak, ako se budu i složili sa tvojom definicijom, to neće značiti da si ovim ljubaznim upozorenjem stekao neki kredit kod mene. Naime, ja čak i kad bih kupovao kućnog ljubimca, uzeo bih nekog sa minimumom odanosti koji ti nažalost nemaš. A od prijatelja očekujem mnogo više a ne da me nekada, kao što si ti Žiku i Meha, radi nečeg potpuno beznačajnog, nazove čankolizom (ili ako su stvarno čankolizi, razotkrije, a ni to nije lepo).

[Ghoul]

nastavljaš sa neozbiljnostima: prvo priznaš da je ono što sam rekao tačno (ćirin text o mladiću-filmofilu je duhovitiji od dimbovog texta o mladiću-filmofilu), a onda tražiš neke formalne razloge zašto se ta 2 texta ne smeju upoređivati, iako sam ja već rekao po kom osnovu su upoređeni:
text 1: magični ćira projektuje svoj filmski ukus na gen. mladića;
text 2:  dimbo projektuje svoj filmski ukus na gen. mladića;
kolko slova imaju i za koje namene su pisani manje je bitno.

a i ovaj pokušaj da me zavadiš sa nekim divnim ljudima je klinački i zapravo dodatno ilustruje moje reči da svaki prisenak kritike koji NE dolazi od kućnih prijatelja i ortaka doživljavaš kao ličan i 'maliciozan'. daj opusti se, niko ti ne radi o glavi. ja ti ne želim zlo i propast zato što sam reko da je 1 ćirin text bolji od 1 tvog texta. ti si to naduvao van proporcije.
nisam ja rekao da si se okružio SVE SAMIM čankoliscima (bez izuzetaka), niti da ovi pomenuti (žika, meho) spadaju u njih – a na koga sam mislio baš neću da imenujem jer znam da i ti dobro znaš koje sam tvoje pudlice ZAISTA imao na umu umesto ljudi koje si prizvao da te brane (kao da sam te ja uopšte napao).
što se tiče 'odanosti' – to što je za tebe odanost, za mene je titranje jajca, i to niti drugima pružam niti od svojih prijatelja za sebe tražim, tako da... šteta za kredit.

[Meho Krljic]

Sa gnušanjem odbijam insinuaciju da sam ikada u svom životu lizao Čanka. Nisam, bre, ni glasao za njega a kamoli da ga dodirnem... i to ... jezikom!!!  

[crippled_avenger]

Ghoule, nisam pokušao da te zavadim ni sa Žikom ni sa Mehom. Samo sam konstatovao na koga si mislio. To što se sad ti vadiš, to je tvoja stvar, uostalom od mojih kućnih prijatelja, na forumu se jasno vidi ko je hvalio tekst pre nego što si ti počeo sa vređanjem. Jedini je Meho moj kućni prijatelj među njima.

Uostalom, kao što vidiš, Meho se ne da zavaditi, on je na celu stvar, sasvim očekivano, odgovorio jednim humornim postom koji mu omogućuje da bude iznad situacije.

Žika se još uvek nije javio na ovo. Videćemo koja će biti njegova reakcija, anticipiram nešto slično Mehovoj, ili se možda uopšte neće ni javiti.

Dakle, ne boj se, neće se Meho i Žika zavaditi sa tobom. Pre će se zavaditi sa mnom. Sa mnom se ionako druže samo iz koristoljublja, a tebe istinski vole i cene, i kao druga i kao stručnjaka. To je Meho već pokazao na forumu. Umesto da se brani od tvojih uvreda on je napisao šalu. Ipak, računam na mrkoya, mog dobermana, da će ostati sa mnom do kraja.

Što se Ćirinog teksta tiče, i dalje mislim da ti tekstovi nisu za poređenje, a mislim da je jedini džentlmenski odgovor koji mogu da dam to da je Ćira bolji pisac. Ne znam gde sam rekao da mislim da je Ćirin tekst duhovitiji, ali svakako da mislim da je džentlmenski reći i to.

Posetioci sajta sada mogu da prosude. To sve ipak ne čini tvoj post u kome me optužuješ za "ejpovanje" manje malicioznim, iako priča o tome apsolutno ne stoji, i od nje si u krajnjoj liniji i odustao u određenoj fazi.

[crippled_avenger]

Millar pise o pocetku snimanja KICK ASSa...

Holy fuck.

We are all going to...

a) Hell
b) Prison
c) Both.

But it's worth it, believe me. If I absolutely have to go to jail for a comic-book movie then I accept no substitutes. This is the one. I hereby declare Kick-Ass as the greatest movie of 2009.

And if you think that I WOULD so that as co-creator and a producer on the movie you're absolutely, one hundred percent correct. But as the months roll by and the trailers start to dribble online and you see what I just saw this weekend your heart will be beating that little bit faster too. I lucked out with Wanted and Timur and James and Angelina. But nothing-- I mean nothing-- can prepare you for Nic and Chloe as Big Daddy and Hit-Girl. As I said to Nic after the first scene was shot on Saturday morning, this is a movie about comic-book guys MADE by comic-book guys. We are absolutely in our comfort zone here and doing something really special. Cage's eyes just gleamed. He said it's the most excited he's been by a role in a long time.

And it shows. Screen-writer Jane Goldman and I were wearing out headsets and watching the monitor from early morning until we wrapped early evening both days, giggling at every line. Nobody knows this script better than me, Jane and director Matthew Vaughn, but we genuinely laughed at every take because these two actors just kept bringing something new to it. Coincidentally, the first scene shot on the movie was the first scene I wrote on the comic (now the opening to issue six) and it's Hit-Girl in her secret identity, wearing a Hello Kitty T-shirt and a kevlar vest as her Dad pumps round after round into her chest so she knows how a bullet feels. I loved the scene in the comic, I loved the scene in the screenplay, but Nic just took it to a whole new level with his delivery, the genuinely mental glee and beautiful comic timing as we see this little kid in pink clothes and a pink hat blasted back into mud in an abandoned factory. The scene in the swing park the following day is even better, but I don't want to spoil anything. All I'll say is that nobody is going to be prepared for this movie when it opens late Summer 09. Nobody is going to have seen anything like this before and that's very, very exciting.

You heard it here first: Chloe Moretz is going to be a superstar after this picture. There are so many great actors and characters running around here, but this kid is just spectacular. I hung out with she and her Mum and older brother all day yesterday and she's brilliantly unaffected by it all, switching from cute as a button eleven year old to potty-mouthed sociopath the moment Matthew yelled action. I have already nicknamed her Han Solo because she's going to be the one every kid wants to be when they see this thing as an illegal download

More as it happens, but fucking Hell. This is already about 350 times better than I could ever have expected. Everybody has a brief break from shooting this week before it all moves to Canada ten days down the line and then back here in a month. We're shooting on the Star Wars stage at Elstree, which I can only take as a good omen.
