Hello Jana here,
Neil Young is throwing his hat into the ring with the likes of Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Spotify and Pandora. Young announced the newly formed Pono Music service. Pono is the Hawaiian word for ‘righteous’. Not only is Pono Music going to be a provider for select artists, but they are offering a custom-built $399 listening device. Sounds like fancy wording for the iPod. Their music offerings, when played through the Pono Player, will give an ultra high-quality digital listening experience.
Bigfoot Film ‘Exists’ Coming Soon From ‘Blair Witch Project’ Director!!!
Hello Jana here,
SXSW (South By Southwest) is an annual multi-media festival held in Austin, Texas. It’s the perfect place for distributors to scoop up new material. This is what happened after a Saturday night, sold-out, premiere of ‘Exists‘. Lionsgate bought up the rights quickly after screening and seeing the viewers light up Twitter talking about the film.
Sony to Reboot ‘Zorro’!!!
Hello Jana here,
The last swashbuckler to hit the big screen was Captain Jack Sparrow in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean‘ films, but before him, there was another. Back in 1922 the tales of Zorro gripped the world with his master swordsmanship and championing the defenseless. Since then Hollywood has made some bank off of the masked man at least a dozen times and with varying success. I’m pleased to announce there is going to be a reboot of the Zorro films. Not so much a reboot of original stories, as a new movie based on a new book about Zorro. If that made sense, I might have a future in writing!

Uma Thurman Joins Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg in ‘America Ultra’!!!
Hello Jana here,
Script writer Max Landis is a common denominator with several projects that are either in production or pre-production. In the wake of 2012′s ‘Chronicle‘, we find Landis’ name attached to at least 5 projects that are slated for release in 2015. the highly anticipated ‘Frankenstein‘ which will star James McAvoy as the titular Dr. Frankenstein and in a strange casting turn, Daniel Radcliffe is set to star as Igor. Another screenplay Landis has written is making some noise with a new casting choice.

Mary-Louise Parker Returning to Primetime!!!
Hello, Jana here,
I was worried after the final season of ‘Weeds‘ aired that I would not get my weekly dose of Mary-Louise Parker ala Nancy Botwin any longer. Looks like I have been worried for nothing. NBC has successfully courted Parker’s involvement in a comedy that will pilot this fall, ‘Feed Me‘. The project is described as a comedic exploration of adult intimacy and desire that centers on a dysfunctional family bound by love and the restaurant they run together. Parker will play the lead, Ellen, a slightly OCD wife, mother of two and accountant who is stuck in her ways and whose approach to life is a challenge for those around her, including her husband, parents and brothers, most of whom are in the restaurant business. I think TV has shown us that they will never make a movie on a ‘normal’ family, mainly because ‘normal’ is subjective and if you look closely, every family is dysfunctional. So they could probably just start stating that it’s a show about a family in the restaurant biz.

Martin Luther King Mini-Series Coming to HBO!!!
Hello, Jana here,
When you hear ‘Civil Rights Movement’ most people associate that with Martin Luther King Jr., the figurehead that fueled the volt-face in the 1960′s. The American pastor and African-American Civil Rights leader is at the center of several different projects at the moment. It seems that putting King’s struggle into a workable form has been eluding filmmakers for years.
