 published: 2013-03-18The Escape From New York Remake That No One Wants Is Back On Joel Silver is planning “an entirely new take on the material,” which was originally about a convict hired to rescue the kidnapped President of the United States from the island of Manhattan which, in the distant future, exists as a walled-off prison for our nation’s worst criminals.  filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2013-02-20Ben 10 Live-Action Feature Hires A New Screenwriter Joel Silver has been trying for a while now to get the popular animated show adapted for cinemas, and now a writer has been hired to rewrite a script already written by someone else. That counts as progress, right? filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2012-11-13Joel Silver Producing New Supernatural Action Movie Sanctuary Joel Silver has been responsible for a hell of a lot of our greatest entertainment over the last three decades or so. Starting his career in the late 70s with a role as an associate producer for The Warriors, during the 80s he found talents like Shane Black, and made kickass movies like Die Hard, Predator, Lethal Weapon and Commando. In the late 90s he bet on a pair of sibling directors named Wachowski and the result was The Matrix filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2012-01-30Ben 10 Live-Action Movie Finds A Screenwriter The show follows a teenager named Ben Tennyson who is a normal kid until he discovers a device called the Omnitrix. The device gives him the ability to transform into one of ten different alien creatures, all with their own specific abilities. The show lasted four seasons, running from 2005 to 2007.

 published: 2011-11-04Warners Action/Comedy Fully Automatic Getting Rewrite By Michael Starrbury One of the scripts trying to recapture a little bit of that Shane Black magic is Fully Automatic, which pairs two rookie cops with a female Delta Force-r to take down a dangerous mercenary armed with stolen weaponry.

 published: 2011-10-31Warner Bros. Bringing Lew Archer To Screen With The Galton Case You gotta love a good detective story. Hollywood certainly does, and over the years some of the best fictional detectives have made their way onto TV and movie screens, played by actors ranging from Humphrey Bogart to James Garner. We've seen Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe, and the troubled, broken men of James Ellroy's worlds. filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2011-10-07The Envoy Delivers Action And Adventure To Joel Silver If there’s anything Joel Silver doesn’t need, it’s yet another project on his enormous plate. The long time producer has been producing since 1979 (getting started with the classic The Warriors) and has since accumulated a resume of over 100 films, 12 of which are in various stages of production right now. He is legendary, and he’s just added a 13th film to his list of upcoming projects. filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2011-09-28Dominic Cooper In Talks To Star In Albert Hughes' Motor City It's a real shame, but Dominic Cooper is almost assuredly going to be robbed of an Oscar nomination for his dual performance in The Devil's Double. Between the movie being released in August and only making a little over $1 million at the domestic box office, the Academy will probably look over it in favor or more populist or Oscar-bait-y fare. filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2011-08-23Ben Affleck May Be Lining Up Action Thriller Line Of Sight ffleck’s been plenty busy developing his formidable directing resume, and it sounds like the helmer of Gone Baby Gone and The Town is about to add Line of Sight to his credits. THR says Affleck is in negotiations to helm and star in the Joel Silver-produced action thriller for Warner Bros. The story centers on an elite band of soldiers transporting an important load of cargo while contending with a global threat. filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2011-07-15Justin Timberlake Wants To Revive The Buddy Cop Comedy It probably doesn't mean much good for the actual Lethal Weapon reboot if this project now has a major star attached, but then again that's probably a good thing-- the buddy cop comedy is eternal, but Murtaugh and Riggs deserve to fade into the past with dignity filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2011-06-13Joel Silver Wants To Turn Ben 10 Into Live Action, Tentpole Blockbuster The Matrix producer will develop the extremely popular Cartoon Network series into a live-action tentpole series and, according to Variety, would like to distribute it through his longtime collaborating studio, Warner Bros. Silver tells the trade that his sons “clued him in” to the story of a young, courageous hero who’s able to assume the role of 10 sci-fi creatures with the help of a powerful wristwatch device called the Omnitrix. filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2011-01-06Barbra Streisand Considering A Striptease Musical For Joel Silver Super-producer Joel Silver is heading up an adaptation of the 1959 Broadway musical Gypsy and has Barbra Streisand in talks to star. Apparently they’re still a long way filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2010-12-07The Wachowskis To Write And Direct A Modern Robin Hood When you consider who the director was, Ridley Scott's Robin Hood should have been a lot better than it was. Instead, what audiences received was a fairly humdrum affair. There hasn't been a good Robin filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2010-11-14Van Damme's Mainstream Comeback May Start In Dragon Eyes You may not have seen him for awhile, but Jean-Claude Van Damme has been working pretty steadily. Some of it has even been interesting. Note I didn’t say good, or in any way mainstream. But interesting. Now that The Expendables filed under: Joel Silver
 published: 2010-06-11Warner Bros. And Joel Silver Planning A Don Quixote Adventure Movie The news that Warner Bros. is eyeing the same material and trying to make a Pirates of the Caribbean-style swashbuckling adventure out of it doesn't guarantee that Gilliam's project will fail, but filed under: Joel Silver
