The Fly
Sci-Fi Wire has this article about the remake of the remake of his own film that David Cronenberg is planning. No, it's not a sequel, it is another reboot of the 1958 original. Ah, well.
Ghost Rider 2
Comic Book Resources reports here that David Goyer is in negotiation to adapt the sequel. Nicholas Cage is expected to be back for the 2011 film.
Barbie
Reuters reports here that Universal Pictures has picked up the rights to do a live action feature film based on the 50 year old (yes, this is her anniversary) Mattel figure. Laurence Mark will produce. Marc Shmuger, Universal's chairman, said: "So many representations of Barbie frequent pop culture, but never before has she been brought to life in a motion picture. We're grateful to Mattel for entrusting us with this extraordinary opportunity."

Highlander
Summit Entertainment tells us here that Justin Lin will be directing Art Marcum and Matt Holloway's script for the 2010 reboot. Patrick Wachsberger, co-chairman of Summit, said: "We are privileged to have this amazing opportunity to reinvent one of the great franchises."
Titanic
The Hollywood Reporter says here that James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment has long-term plans to re-release the film, as well as "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" in 3-D versions. No target dates for either film have been given.
Jack the Giant Killer
The Hollywood Reporter also tells us here that Bryan Singer will be directing the script by Mark Bomback, with an eye toward a 2011 release. Here is the synopsis: "Jack the Giant Killer is a film about a world where people and giants maintain a tenuous truce - that is until a princess gets kidnapped and the giants are fingered as the culprits. Our hero, Jack, a young farmer, leads a team on a rescue quest to bring back the princess." This sounds like, but not exactly like the 1962 stop-motion version.
