Stephen Spielberg to produce Martin Luther King Jr. Biopic
May 20, 2009
Over 40 years after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on a motel balcony in Memphis, Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks are getting set to produce a big screen biopic about the civil-rights leader’s life, according to Variety. We can already hear the Oscar buzz!
To move forward with the picture, DreamWorks had to acquire King’s life rights from his estate, because his speeches, books and other works were copyrighted while he was alive. The deal marks the first time that a film has been authorized by the estate. The film’s producers will be able to utilize all of King’s intellectual property, including his legendary “I Have a Dream” speech delivered at the August 1963 march on Washington and his final public address, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” delivered the day before he died.

Kevin Smith To Breathe New Life Into The Buddy Cop Genre With ‘A Couple of Dicks’
May 19, 2009
Kevin Smith has never directed a film not based on his own script, but when you consider some of the films he’s been offered in the past and rejected—including two fantasy/comedy hybrids, Matthew McConaughey’s “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” and Eddie Murphy’s upcoming “Imagine That”—the I-only-direct-my-own-stuff stance was probably a smart decision on Mr. Smith’s part.
Yet with his Bruce Willis/Tracy Morgan buddy cop flick, “A Couple of Dicks,” Smith has finally taken the leap into someone else’s script. Why this film, and why now? His rationale is rooted in his childhood movie-going experiences, when his dad would take him out of school to go to a matinee. Read more
