According to The Hollywood Reporter Universal has acquired the screen rights to the Lunch Lady graphic novel series by Jarrett Krosoczka that will be published strarting this summer by Knopf Books for Young Readers. Amy Poehler, who is currently appearing in the NBC series Parks and Recreation, will star in and executive produce the adaptation that Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern are writing.
The first two Lunch Lady graphic novels, Lunch Lady and the Cyborg Substitute and Lunch Lady and the League of Librarians, which are designed for readers from 9-12, will be released on July 28th. The tongue-in-cheek superheroine masquerades as a mild-mannered cafeteria worker, but in superhero mode she can wield some nasty fish-stick nun chucks and capture evildoers with a hairnet (her primary weapon), after striking fear in their hearts with her bone-chilling cry of “Cauliflower.”

Marcus Nispel Directs ‘Conan’!

Variety has confirmed a CHUD scoop saying that Marcus Nispel will direct Conan for Nu Image/Millennium Films, ending a nine-year development ordeal to reinvent the Robert E. Howard-created barbarian first immortalized onscreen by Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1982.
Production on the remake is set to start late this year in Bulgaria and South Africa. Nu Image/Millennium is making the film in a co-production with Lionsgate. Avi Lerner and Joe Gatta are producing with Fredrick Malmberg.
The film will be the most financially ambitious ever for Lerner, with a script by Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, whose credits include Sahara and Cowboys & Aliens.
Nispel will make Conan his third remake, after The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th.
Nispel said he will blend his childhood imaginings of the character with the influence of the famous Conan illustrations by Frank Frazetta, and the influence of such viscerally violent period films as Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto.

USA Today and ScreenRant have published a first look at Mickey Rourke as villain Whiplash at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix in director Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2, opening in theaters on May 7, 2010.
Whiplash sports a power pack on his chest that looks similar to the one used by Iron Man. “The technologies are definitely related, and that’s part of the core theme of the film,” says Favreau. The character’s alter ego, Ivan Vanko, is a Russian who, Favreau says, “has constructed his own version of a suit.” Among the creative alterations: a pair of whips, powered by the suit’s glowing chest piece. Whiplash “is going to light them up,” says Rourke.

Shia LeBeouf no longer the Last Man, Y?

See what i did there in the title? Clever. I know.
Almost two years ago, it was announced the D.J. Caruso would direct and Carl Ellsworth would write an adaptation of Brian K. Vaughn and Pia Guerra’s Y: The Last Man.
Since then, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen star Shia LaBeouf’s name has come up numerous times as being in talks to play the lead role of Yorick Brown, the lone survivor of a plague that wipes out all males on the planet. The project would have reunited him with Caruso, who directed LaBeouf in Eagle Eye and Disturbia.
But now, LaBeouf tells Wizard magazine that Yorick is too similar to his “Transformers” role of Sam Witwicky.
“You take Sam and you put a monkey on his shoulder,” said LaBeouf of Yorick’s sidekick Ampersand. “I don’t know if it’s that big a differential. It seems like he’s the ordinary guy in an extraordinary situation again.
He added, “I’m not willing to make that movie currently, and may be too old to play the role by the time it does come around.”

Kirsten Dunst onboard, Morbius not so much!
By FavaBeans | June 8, 2009

Producer Todd Black talked with The New York Post this past week and cleared up various bits of online speculation regarding the fourth “Spider-Man” feature.
First up, despite hesitant talk it seems that Kirsten Dunst is definitely back for the fourth film. Rumors however of a marriage subplot between Peter and Mary Jane are apparently not a part of the story.
The villain however is NOT Morbius the vampire despite the online speculation as such. So who is it? Black only says “We’re just coming up with who the villain’s going to be now. We’ll be shooting in New York again. Trust me, people will appreciate who we pick, because it’ll be a big part of New York.”
Black does however confirm it won’t be a new villain made up for the film, rather one of the classic foes from the comic. Speculation has included Kraven the Hunter, Kingpin, The Lizard, Jackal, and Rhino.
The fourth “Spider-Man” is set for release on May 6th 2011.

Twillight’s Cam Gigandet will star opposite Paul Bettany in Priest, a horror Western that Scott Stewart is directing for Screen Gems, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Adapted by Cory Goodman from a TokyoPop comic book, Priest is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires and follows a warrior priest (Bettany) who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.
Gigandet plays a young wasteland sheriff who is part vampire. He partners with Bettany to save the girl he loves, the niece. That latter part has yet to be cast.
