According to Variety , Disney with in final negotiations with writer Zoe Green to pen a screenplay based on an original idea she’s developed with the studio, with the X-Men franchise’s Lauren Shuler Donner to produce. Green has previously written episodes of the Wolverine And The X-Men animated series, and has also adapted Neil Stephenson’s book The Diamond Age for SyFy (which reminds us… what has happened with the project?).
After Tron… Archangel

The project, to be produced by Ridley and Tony Scott along with Kosinski, is a futuristic Bourne-style action flick about a team that tracks down aliens that have made it past Earth's defenses.

Despicable Me Too
After CG movie Despicable Me performed nearly twice as well as expected on its opening weekend in the US, Universal has already set the gears in motion for the sequel, according to Deadline New York . Not much of a surprise when the first film cost a mere $69 million to make (that’s chickenfeed for Hollywood these days) and has already raked in $60 million in its first few days.
