I’m skeptical about James Franco portraying Allen Ginsberg in the courtroom-set biopic Howl (can anyone but David Cross be cast after I’m Not There?), but now that Paul Rudd, Jeff Daniels, Mary-Louise Parker, Alan Alda and David Straithairn are also aboard, it could at least be a decent ensemble piece.

New Line Waits Until 'The Thirteenth Hour'

I am getting a terrible sense of deja vu -- I skimmed this Variety article very quickly, thinking as I read "Oh, I remember reading the reviews of this book, and I always meant to pick it up." But then I saw the word "preemptively" and realized it hadn't been published yet. So either there's a novel out there that's eerily similar, or I'm no longer existing in space or time, like a red-haired and clothed Dr. Manhattan.

... happened, and why. If the promise of a sci-fi version of a critically acclaimed movie by the director of The Dark Knight isn't enough to make you excited, producer Michael De Luca (who's previously ushered Lost In Space and Ghost Rider to the screen) has another comparison for you: The Bourne Identity meets The Time Traveler's Wife (itself coming to screens this holiday season).
