The title of this film, Superman Vs. The Kkk might be a little misleading, but I'm not the guy who came up with the title. Regardless, it still sounds like an intriguing story that will make a good movie.
The film is based on a book called Superman Versus The Ku Klux Klan: The True Story of How the Iconic Superhero Battle the Men of Hate. The book was written by Rick Bowers and the story chronicles "a former Klan member who goes undercover in 1947 Atlanta and works with the Anti-Defamation League and the producer of the Superman radio show." One of the film's producers Marc Rosen says:
“Fighting the forces of evil with brain over brawn, artists taking down bullies and the power of a good piece of content, it’s a real case of truth being cooler than fiction."
Even though the story doesn't really involve the character "Superman" fighting the Kkk,...

Exclusive: Georgeville Television, an independent TV studio co-founded recently by Leon Clarance of Motion Picture Capital, the financing arm of Reliance Entertainment, and producer Marc Rosen, has teamed with feature director Martin Campbell (Casino Royal) to revive the cult 1978 adventure/sci-fi series Blake’s 7.

Campbell is attached to direct the Blake’s 7 reboot, which is being shopped to U.S. networks.

Widely considered a cult classic despite no-frills, low-tech special effects, Blake...

Update, 1:15 Pm: NBC said production will begin in the fall on Crossbones, which features “an unexpected moral center where one can’t be sure whether the pirates or the British crown are the villains,” the network says. It will center on Tom Lowe, an undercover assassin who is sent to the pirates’ haven to take down the brilliant and charismatic Blackbeard. But the closer Lowe gets, the more he can’t help but admire the political ideals of of the pirate, whose thirst for knowledge knows no bounds and no law. Blackbeard is a man with many villainous rivals and one great weakness — a passionately driven woman whom he cannot deny. Todd Gold is executive producing with Cross, Parkes and MacDonald and Universal Television is among the production companies.

Nickelodeon Movies has picked up Bro-jitsu, a book proposal from pop scientist Daniel H. Wilson, for an adaptation to be produced by Marc Rosen and Lynda Obst.
Wilson will pen the screenplay, his first.
The deal marks the first project that Rosen and Obst have set up since teaming to form Rosen-Obst Prods. in March.
Wilson, who holds a doctorate in robotics, is the author of How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion, which is set up at Paramount, and the new Where's My Jetpack?: A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future That Never Arrived. With Bro-jitsu, Wilson plans a comedic instruction manual looking at sibling rivalry using a martial arts approach of offense-defense.
"(Wilson) feels like sibling rivalry drives the world and that we are all somehow formed by our siblings," Rosen said. "He is tapping into universal aspects like noogies and floogies and Indian burns. It's our first sale, and we couldn't be happier."
Chris Salvaterra was instrumental in the deal and will oversee for Nick, which is looking at Bro-jitsu as a family comedy.
