Production Weekly reports that screenwriting brainchild Charlie Kaufman will now go behind the camera for his directorial debut on a project that looks to touch upon the same anxieties that were under the scope in his previous 2 penned projects.

Samuel L. Jackson and Hayden Christensen are back together again (aww). Thankfully however, it's not another Star Wars (my apologies to all the sci-fi geeks out there). The duo will be putting away their lasers and picking up...teleportation devices? I guess the sci-fi kids will be pleased after all. The film is Jumper, an adventure/drama/sci-fi/thriller from Regency Enterprises directed by Doug Liman. Although Christensen wasn't the original choice for the lead role (Tom Sturridge is still listed as the part on imdb), it was decided by execs a bigger name might sell more tickets.

Taking in about nine million U.S. dollars (about twice the film’s budget) in its opening weekend, and coming in fifth overall at the box office (behind four domestic summer blockbusters), The Descent now begins its second week of a nationwide North American.

After almost 4 decades, the 1967 television classic The Prisoner may finally be making it to the big screen. Universal Studios is reportedly nearing a deal with Christopher Nolan, best known for Memento and Insomnia, to bring the UK cult classic to theaters, perhaps as early as 2007. The studio reports that they plan to have Nolan begin production on a contemporized film version of the show after he completes The Dark Knight the sequel to the hit Batman Begins which is set to begin production at Universal in early 2007.

The great filmmaker Hsiao-hsien Hou (Café Lumiere, Millennium Mambo) is leaving the friendly confines of Thailand to film abroad for the first time in Paris. In Orsay, named after Musee d’Orsay, a young boy and his baby-sitter occupy the same dream world. Throughout their travels, presumably through the Musee d’Orsay, they’ll be pursued by a red balloon, an homage to the great French film Le Ballon Rouge. Juliette Binoche is signed on to play the boy’s mother.
