May 5th
Oscar-nominee (say it with us now…) Jonah Hill continues to branch out into pure dramatic acting territory, following his turn in last year’s lauded Moneyball adaptation. In addition to his upcoming role in the true-story based flick titled… well, True Story , Hill is now eying a role in another high-profile project based on real events: The Wolf of Wall Street . Wolf of Wall Street was rumored to become the fifth collaboration between actor-director duo Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese for well over a year – until the project was finally, officially confirmed just a couple of weeks ago (from the time of writing this).

May 2nd
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Gary Ross is known for being fairly selective about which projects he chooses to work on, as evidenced by the time gaps between his directorial debut ( Pleasantville , 1998), sophomore directing effort ( Seabiscuit , 2003) and this year’s box office titan, The Hunger Games . It’s less shocking that he ultimately chose to pass on helming the Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire , due partly to the comparatively short period of time Lionsgate set for that film to make its way down the production pipeline. That’s all meant as context for today’s surprising revelation, courtesy of Heat Vision , that Ross has (possibly) already lined up his next directing project: Houdini , an adaptation of William Kalush and Larry Sloman’s biography about the iconic late 19th/early 20th century illusionist/escape artist, titled “The Secret Life of Houdini: The Making …
