Duncan Jones to Direct Ian Fleming Biopic

There is a lot of James Bond happening this year to celebrate its 50th Anniversary.  We showed you the awesome Blu-ray collection, not to mention Skyfall comes out this fall.  Now the man behind it all is getting the star treatment too.  It was announced that Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code) has signed on to direct an “action-packed” story of James Bond creator Ian Fleming.

Source Code Being Adapted as TV Series for CBS

Producer Mark Gordon has plans to adapt the Duncan Jones directed sci-fi film Source Code into a TV series for CBS.  Jones’ movie was entertaining enough, for me it didn’t hit the heights of Moon but continued to show that he’s a solid director whose future work is going to have some high expectations.

According to THR, “like the film on which it is based, the action/procedural follows three former federal agents who are part of a top-secret program. Each week, they’ll use “Source Code” technology to jump into the consciousness of people involved in tragic events”.  This would make for an entertaining show for sure, depending on budget I imagine.  Gordon (Grey’s Anatomy, Criminal Minds) and Steve Maeda (Lost) has been brought on to write it.

Christopher Nolan’s List Of Potential Superman Directors

There are little to no facts concerning Christopher Nolan’s Superman film, but we now have an idea of what direction Nolan is going with when news broke of the five directors that were on Nolan’s short list to potentially direct the film.

Noticeably absent is his own flesh and blood Jonathan who had been rumoured to be in the running.  Deadline’s Mike Fleming broke the news, and according to him, the directors currently being looked at are:

Tony Scott (Unstoppable, The Taking of Pelham 123)
Matt Reeves (Let Me In, Cloverfield)
Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles, Clash of the Titans 2 [upcoming])
Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code)
Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch)

Nolan has already started meeting with directors and will submit his choice to Warner Brothers in the next few weeks.  I think it would be nice to see Jones take a stab at it, he seems like he would be more restrained with the material, anyone see what he did with Moon?  Amazing.  We shall hear back soon, stay tuned.
