The Three Musketeers
Variety reports that Millennium Films are planning a new film version of Alexandre Dumas' "The Three Musketeers." They will begin with Athos, Porthos and Aramis' story, then have D'Artagnan pn;y arrive at the end of the first movie, or in a sequel. Joe Gatta of Millennium said: "There aren't many branded properties like this out there, and it is a seller's market for the high-profile ones. You can either build one from scratch or find the ones that are available and of interest to audiences, which we did with Conan and Buck Rogers."
Turok: Son of Stone
Adam Beach, who voiced the animated movie "Turok: Son of Stone," now tells of a live action version, saying: "We just finished the animated movie and now we're going into the feature film movie [which should film] hopefully in a couple years. We're about to set up meetings to develop a script and put it out there. I'll have to beef up, and be a good guy, and save the world! He's the first Native American superhero that I ever looked up to. He basically [comes from] a family where they're protecting our universe from an alternate universe that wants to take it over. He uses his wits, and his might, and his special bow and arrow to take over the world."

Netflix Out of Boxes
After only three weeks of offering a $99 settop box to stream movies directly to subscribers' TV sets, Netflix announced that they have sold out their entire supply. Roku, the Japanese company that manufactures the box, will need two weeks to fill current orders and eight weeks to begin new ones. Amy Bonetti, Netflix spokesperson, said:"They're selling way better than we thought," but she declined to report how many boxes had been sold.
