After two seasons of scheming away as Frank Underwood's whip-smart wife Claire on Netflix's hit political drama House of Cards, Robin Wright has more than earned our attention. That's not to say, however, that her next film, an adaptation of The Congress directed by Ari Folman, isn't a gamble. Loosely based on the book by Stanislaw Lem, The Congress centers on an aging Hollywood starlet (Wright, playing a version of herself) who, in order to pay for her son's medical treatments, agrees to sell her likeness to a studio in the form of a digital persona which can star in movies for them.

The Last of Robin Hood, from directors Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland (Quinceanera), may come closer than any before it though, but even it won't take a traditional approach to chronicling Flynn's life. Instead, it focuses on his final days, as Flynn (Kevin Kline) scandalously romances a young starlet (Dakota Fanning) before dying from a heart attack at the age of 50.
It's with a tremendously heavy heart that I bring you news this morning that the beloved NBC cult comedy Community will not be saved by streaming giant Hulu after all, as many of us fans had hoped.

Rick Yancey is having one hell of a year. While Sony Pictures is moving full steam ahead on a big-budget adaptation of his YA alien invasion thriller The 5th Wave with Chloë Grace Moretz starring and The Disappearance of Alice Creed helmer J Blakeson sitting behind the camera, Warner Bros. has just inked a deal to acquire feature rights for the author's four-book Monstrumologist series.
The Coen Brothers are two of the most well-respected filmmakers alive and working today, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that they always have their pick of Hollywood's finest when it comes to casting their movies.
