Nov. 12th, 2009 11:04 pmFirst he mutilated "I, Robot," then "I am Legend," and now Will Smith is going to take on Flowers for Algernon. In other SFish news, Ridley Scott, lending plausibility to the rumors that he has lost his damn mind, is making a movie out of the Monopoly board game.
While you're chewing on that, here are some projects that sound interesting: Darren Aronofsky is making "Black Swan". Veteran ballerina Nina (Natalie Portman)... finds herself locked in a competitive situation with a rival dancer named Lilly (Mila Kunis), with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach the ballet school's next big production, a new version of "Swan Lake". The veteran however is unsure if the rival is a supernatural apparition or if she herself is simply having delusions.
Also, FOX is adapting What Alice Forgot: a woman... suffers a head injury and wakes to find that she actually might be 10 years older and forgotten a decade of her life.
Meanwhile, the following projects are dead: the planned Oldboy remake (yay!), the Dark Tower series (alas?), and Dollhouse (eh.)
