Ant-Man
Ugo Movie Blog quotes Kevin Feige saying here, more about Edgar Wright's involvement with the 2010 production "Ant-Man." He confirmed that the film was a positive go, and then Feige said: "Yeah. I mean, Edgar has been passionate about Ant-Man for years. I think it was probably three or four years ago that I first met Edgar down at Comic Con. He wanted to meet to talk about a character, and I was like, Ok, Spider-Man? What’s it going to be? And he had pictures of Ant-Man, which I was surprised about until I heard his pitch, and then it made perfect sense. And we brought him on right away. He has delivered an excellent, excellent draft with his writing partner Joe Cornish. They’re at the tail end of doing a revised draft as well. And then, of course, Edgar is going to go off and do Scott Pilgrim [vs. the World]. So we hope at some point after that, to bring Ant-Man to the screen."
Book of Shadows
The Hollywood Reporter says here that Rob Reiner will be directing his first action-adventure movie, titled "Book of Shadows." We are quickly told that it has nothing to do with the sequel to "The Blair Witch Project." The trade says that Reiner had a basic idea he'd been kicking around, and he told writer Zoë Green. Green then wrote the screenplay around that idea and sold it to Castle Rock. Here's the story snippet they've released: "A young male protagonist, 'a perilous journey of first love,' a dangerous quest, and a mythical book that can restore balance to the world."
