Williams’ company deals in both traditional media and web. Her company is embracing change by “trying to get creators where their creative economy is. It’s an overused phrase, but it’s a true phrase,” she said. “There are now different tools...

If I could spend a half-hour looking at an accurate representation of what entertainment is going to look like in, say, fifty years, I imagine I would walk away equally dazzled and confused. There is little doubt we are heading towards immersive entertainment, created in technical ways that we are just now beginning to see established or even suggested, and that the dream of the Star Trek holodeck is not an impossible one. This year's Sundance Film Festival featured some remarkable demonstrations of what various companies and artists are up to, and it really does feel like new ground being broken. These demonstrations weren't on the traditional movie screens, though, and there's nothing about the examples I saw demonstrated that I would consider typical entertainment. However, it sounds like all of that is going to change, and the Ilm x Lab demos were part of a bigger push going on at Lucasfilm.

Sony Pictures has picked up the movie rights to a series of sci-fi novels by Jeff Somers, tapping Trevor Sands to adapt the first book, titled "The Electric Church."
Jimmy Miller is producing the adaptation, which is working under the moniker of the "The Avery Cates Project," named after the book's main character.
Somers has so far written three books, all set in a near future where Earth is run by a federation of nations and governed by a council. Cates is a bodyguard-assassin who, in "Church," is forced by the governing police force to kill the founder of a church that converts people by transplanting their brains into pliant robotic bodies.
Diana Williams will exec produce. David Householter and Gloria Fan will oversee on behalf of Mosaic
