Oscar-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind, I Am Legend) had been trying to get his directing debut off the ground for years: An adaptation of Mark Helprin's 1983 magical-realism novel Winter's Tale. Vulture has learned that things finally seem to be moving ahead on the stalled project at Warner Bros. (news of which broke exactly one year ago today) after, our spies say, Goldsman "called in every favor he had" and landed Russell Crowe and Will Smith, both stars of his...Read Full Story
Akiva Goldsman may have produced some of the biggest projects with some of the biggest names in Hollywood during the 90s and 00s, but the director hasn’t had a movie to call his own. But for the past few years, he’s been trying to make his directorial debut a reality, by adapting Winter’s Tale for the movie screen. Now he is adding a few more pieces to his directorial debut by adding names like Will Smith and Russell Crowe.
Now nothing if definite, but Vulture does report that negotiations...Read Full Story

While Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman bide their time until the various machinations preventing the adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower subside, the pair has decided to busy themselves with bringing the Old West back to HBO in a series about the highly romanticized gunslinger, Doc Holliday.
Given the current television climate, it could be said that HBO was years ahead of the curve when it debuted the foul-mouthed western drama Deadwood in 2004. It is now a little over five...Read Full Story

I am not a Stephen King fan, however I am a Dark Tower series fan and when I heard Hollywood was ready to dabble in developing one the best modern day fantasy epics for the big screen that uneasy, almost gassy feeling came over me and probably many fans.
As Peter Hall at Cinematical , where we get this next bit of awesome news, would put it, “I’d have been skeptical no matter who was attached to the project.”
Apparently the new rights owners managed to out JJ, noneother than JJ Abrams and...Read Full Story

For years, Oscar-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman has been trying to break into directing, specifically for a movie adaptation of the 80's novel Winter's Tale and it looks as though, thanks to two big names in Hollywood, he will finally have his chance. Vulture reports that Goldsman "called in every favor he had" and eventually scored Will Smith and Russell Crowe — arguably saving the movie and jump-starting production.

Akiva Goldsman, the Oscar-winning screenwriter behind such noteworthy dramas as A Beautiful Mind and I Am Legend, has been working hard to make the leap to film director. It was a nearly a year ago that news broke declaring Warner Bros.

Although he WAS Bagger Vance, the title character; but it was one of those good ol' magical Negro tales, there in service of the white lead.
