Exclusive: Arthur E. Friedman and Steven Jay Rubin are developing a limited series that will explore the life of actor, Congressional Medal of Honor winner and World War II hero Audie Murphy.
Friedman and Rubin have acquired rights to the 1959 Murphy biography No Name on the Bullet, written by Don Graham. The producers have teamed with Graham’s widow Betsy Berry for the project, and the search is now on for a writer to adapt.

The Price of Glory (La Rancon de la Glorie) is based on the bizarre but true story that took place in the waning days of 1977, right after Charlie Chaplin had died. In this forgotten saga two men came up with the hare-brained idea to dig up his corpse and attempted to to ransom it back to his family. The two criminals here are Eddy, played by Benoit Poelvoorde, and Osman, played by Roschdy Zem. Neither Eddy nor Osamn are very good as kidnappers. Osman is a family man with a young daughter and a sick wife, which makes him desperate to figure out a way to cover her medical bills. Eddy is a seemingly dim bulb who comes up with the scheme.

Ron Perlman makes an action packed return to film with the release of The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption on Blu-ray and DVD from February 27th 2012. In his latest role, screen-legend Perlman stars as Horus – the powerful and inspirational King of Egypt – who dispatches Mathayus (Victor Webster), a deadly assassin for hire, to protect his kingdom and allies from imminent attack. In return for his services, Matahyus is promised Princess Silda’s hand in marriage and the legendary Eye of the Gods medallion.
Well-known for his role as the superhero Hellboy in 2004, and in the sequel Hellboy II (2008), Perlman is a man of many talents although he often flies below the radar, or at least behind the microphone in some of his most iconic roles. In homage to Perlman’s career so far, and to celebrate the release of the latest action-packed adventure The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption,...

This weekend, Contagion spreads onto over 3,700 screens at 3,222 locations (including 257 IMAX venues) and is poised to end The Help's reign. Warrior trains to be a slow-burning crowd pleaser on close to 2,100 screens at 1,869 locations, while Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star and Creature should be contenders for the worst opening title, hitting 1,500 and 1,507 single-screen locations, respectively. With a rash of familiar faces (Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, etc.) and deadly disease thriller storyline, Contagion recalls Outbreak, only with a darker, grittier, more global bent. Back in 1995, Outbreak debuted to $13.4 million or the equivalent of nearly $25 million adjusted for ticket price inflation. Contagion's infection and potential end-of-humanity angles also echo the recent zombie craze, and the movie's even opening in the same mid-September slot that the Resident Evil franchise is known for. Contagion's diffuseness, though, may not make it a threat to September's record books.
