Leaked Paramount memo?(Star Trek, GI Joe 2, TMNT)

Given how adaptations work, they won't try to use the entire book. They will choose one story and add pieces of other stories as exposition or background information .
I haven't read it, but is there a war story or battle in there? I would imagine that is where they start.
This! Quite curious to hear more on this one.
There's also no mention of Avengers but Marvel properties like IJones are owned and produced by another. Paramount only has the distribution rights to those films.
This is a list of films to be produced by Paramount.
Another Indy could still happen in 2-3yrs, like Avengers is going to. Neither need be on this production list. I want one soon or it will be too late. Maybe it could feature a team up of Mutt & Short Round(to answer the question in another thread) with Indy having to save both their asses!!
No, the book is best described as a series of short stories strung together with the conceit of an interviewer collecting them from different people. Brad will most likely play said interviewer.
Cute publicity stunt for the hitherto unknown thewrap.com, but entirely fake according to Par. No they don't refer to themselves in the third person, and yes they would know the difference between MI3 and MI4. Sorry to disappoint anyone who was waiting for Zoolander 2 with baited breath.
That, and while the stories about the Russian, American, Canadian, and Chinese militaries (I think those are all the ones we hear from?) are interesting, it'd be missing the point of the book, really. It is World War Z, and it does a fantastic job of showing the war from all perspectives: the military to politics to random civilians. I think you really need that global view to make a movie work.
I was looking at a Baywatch t-shirt in the supermarket the other day and said "its about time they were making that into a movie" and looking at this, I was right.Do we even need a Baywatch movie
It will be the first movie shot entirely in slow motion.
I'll shamefully admit that I'll see Zoolander 2, but without the equivalent of the "Jitterbug" gas station scene, I don't expect to like it.
I'm thrilled that so many people are keen on World War Z, and I think Canadave's right: they'll focus on that soldier from Yonkers. But the Ken Burns approach would be artistically best, but commercially suicidal.

JMS wrote the first couple of drafts of the "World World Z" film but these drafts have since been rejected. I've forgot now who's writing the current draft of the film. Just a nitpicky thing here UNT doesn't stand for Unit...it stands for "Untitled" 
Triple Frontier is about the border region where Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil meet and is a hot bed of organized crime due to its terrain being difficult for law enforcement to traverse or keep an eye on.
Deadline Hollywood reports today that screenwriters Art Marcum and Matt Holloway have been hired to write Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The studio is hoping to fast-track the film for a 2012 release and is envisioning it on a huge scale in the hopes that it'll be a Transformers-style franchise for them.

Oh, with that amount of talent I was rather hoping it might be sci-fi, Bigelow's Strange Days is one of my favourite films and sci-fi movies that are really stuffed with good actors are few and far between.
I think they hope that G.I. Joe will be a success but I assume that they're really hoping to push TMNT hard and form a viable movie franchise from it.
Yeah, and they did say as much about Joe but until it materializes there is no harm in applying the same wish to TMNT.
I mean look at how much Hollywood has thrown up on the wall to be the next Potter. Narnia and Twilight have stuck but others have not.
TMNT is just them admitting they are trying again.
Me too. For a while, I think that movie held my personal record for the most times I've ever seen a movie at the theaters. (I think I may have since broken that record with either Sherlock Holmes or Star Trek.)
I'm not sure I'd like to see them really push TMNT to be the next Transformers. Granted, I'm not entirely sure what that means but I hated the Transformers movies. They were big, dumb, loud, & irritating! I do think the Ninja Turtles are awesome and fairly idiot-proof so long as you get the archetypes right. But honestly, I'd prefer to see a sequel to the 2007 CGI movie, especially since it's able to loosely fit into the continuity of the 1990s live action films.
