Hollywood Planning A Dark Version Of The Little Mermaid Now
You’d think Hollywood would wait to see if the world actually wants dark re-tellings of fairy tales before making a dozen—especially when Red Riding Hood failed to storm the box office—but it looks like Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Peter Pan Begins, Oz: The Great And Powerful and all those Snow White movies aren’t the only ones in the works. The Hollywood Reporter says Sony has picked up Mermaid: A Twist On The Classic Tale, which will tentatively be produced by Tobey Maguire with Country Strong‘s Shana Feste directing. And how could that not be a good idea?

Title Changes for Former ‘John Carter of Mars,’ ‘Now’ and ‘Still I Rise’
Double Academy Award-winning director of Finding Nemo and Wall-e, Andrew Stanton, is currently working on his first foray into live action, an adaptation of the classic sci-fi fantasy novel John Carter of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs [1]. For some reason, though, Disney has now changed the title from that to "Gary Carter," the Hall Of Fame catcher for the 1986 New York Mets. No, I'm sorry. I meant John Carter. That's the new official title. For real.Another title change is one that's makes a little more sense. Andrew Niccol is currently working on his Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried sci-fi film [2] which was originally called I'm.mortal, then Now, but is now called In Time.Getting out of the sci-fi genre, a new Maggie Gyllenhaal movie directed by Daniel Barnz (Beastly) was originally called Still I Rise [3] but is now called Steel Town.
