Agent Carter, a speculated Marvel series may be picked up without a pilot. It is rumored to be getting a 13 episode run for next fall.
V/H/S director, David Bruckner will take the reins of the Friday The 13th reboot. Bruckner was the director of the Amateur Night segment in V/H/S.
Johnny Depp will be starring in a very unexpected movie. Well unexpected as in, Johnny has never worked with this director who mainly does indie flix. But anyways, Depp will star in Tusk, Kevin Smith's horror epic about a guy forced to wear a walrus suit.
Simon Kinburg apparently knows all about Star Wars and The Fantastic Four. Seeng that this is the first time I have heard his name attached to either project, take these with a grain of salt. First star wars ep 7 is only pulling from the canon of the original 6 films even though they've added more canon properties (ie the force unleashed games). Second, the fantastic four reboot is yet again another origin story based some what in the ultimate universe.
