Much like yourself, I was just sitting here drinking my coffee and thinking about how Hollywood needs to make more movies based on videogames. And lo and behold, here it is in Variety: Warner Bros. is going ahead with an adaptation of Lost Planet, a Japanese videogame that “revolves around an expedition to an ice planet that harbors an energy source with the potential to save mankind.” The game is by Capcon, which has already seen its Resident Evil turn into three movies with another on the way.

At the other end of the cinematic spectrum, a long-lost screenplay by Gabriel Garcia Marquez will finally go before the cameras if Mexican actor and producer Rodolfo de Anda has his way. According to the Guardian, “de Anda says he has just acquired the rights to the long-forgotten screenplay and plans to start filming next year. Titled Frontera, the film was written before the 1967 novel One Hundred Years of Solitude turned García Márquez into an international literary star… ‘Nobody knew it existed, and the most surprising thing is that it is a Western. I don't think anybody knew he had written anything like that,’ De Anda told Mexican newspaper Reforma.” De Anda is pursing Gael Garcia Bernal for the lead role.

And finally, it warms my heart to inform you that Sony Animation’s first venture into digital 3-D will be entitled Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. “The story is about 'food weather,' and so food falling from the sky lends itself so well to 3-D,” Bob Osher, president of Sony Pictures Entertainment's Digital Production division, told the Hollywood Reporter. I have no argument with that.
