Even more Zemeckis film projects
Zemeckis' ImageMovers to produce Wes Craven film
Variety and The Hollywood Reporter are both reporting this morning that DreamWorks has picked up the film rights to Wes Craven's new novel, The Fountain Society. Robert Zemeckis' production company ImageMovers will produce the film in conjunction with Wes Craven Films, which Craven is attached to direct and executive produce. The film project had originally be expected to be picked up by Dimension Films, which distributed Craven's last two films; Scream and Scream 2. In Hollywood describes The Fountain Society as a thriller about a gifted scientist with a rare brain disease who finds an unusual way to prolong his life. The project is in active development.
Adding to Zemeckis' endless list of film projects, In Hollywood has finally added a listing for another project we discovered a few months ago on the ShowBIZ Data website, called Harvest. Harvest is a medical thriller in which a female surgeon uncovers a medical conspiracy in Boston that involves orphans in grave danger, murders disguised as suicides, Russian mobsters and a ruthless industrialist. Also in active development, the film will be a joint production between DreamWorks and Paramount.
Having trouble keeping up with all the projects Zemeckis is involved with? Yeah, me too. But we've made it simple now, and you can see every one we're aware of by visiting our Upcoming Projects page.

“Molly” release date postponed
Elisabeth Shue's film Molly had been set to be released tomorrow, but now it has been pushed back to sometime in August. I assume this is to capitalize on the highly anticipated box office dollars expected this summer. When trailers and posters had not hit theaters by late March and Shue had not been lined up to appear on any talk shows to promote the film, I got suspicious that the release date had been changed. However, the official site had continued to post the April 16 date until sometime last week. It's probably a smart move, as I'm sure the film will be worth the wait. Besides, Elisabeth's quite busy right now filming The Hollow Man, so promoting the film right now would have been a difficult challenge.
“Noah's Ark” site now online
NBC.com has finally opened their site for the upcoming mini-series, Noah's Ark, starring Mary Steenburgen as Naamah. I have many reservations about this comercialized telefilm about the flood, according to what I've learned from some of the reviews I've read. The producers have found it necessary to add to the story, obviously because they don't believe audiences will find the actual account interesting enough. Guess they've not read Revelation 22:18-19 lately. Anyway, I do understand that Mary does an outstanding job in her portrayal of Noah's wife, and I'm sure that the special effects will be spectacular, judging from the latest commercials. The mini-series airs May 2-3 on NBC.
Tom's Birthday
And finally, we'd like to wish Tom Wilson a very happy birthday today! Man, it's got to be difficult having a great birthday when yours falls on April 15th and the IRS is breathing down your neck, but if anyone can make the best of a Tax Day Birthday, Tom can! If you haven't stopped by Tom's wonderful website, take a few minutes to look around TomWilson USA. I highly recommend purchasing his comedy cassette!
Here's wishing you a wonderful day, Tom! Now, like, make a wish and get outta here!
