Ben Affleck is in talks to write, direct and star in an adaptation of Dennis Lehane's Prohibition Era novel Live by Night. The story is set in Boston and centers on Joe Coughlin, who rebels against his cop father and becomes a career criminal, eventually joining a mobster. He rises up the ranks as the action moves to Tampa, Fla., then Cuba and features rumrunners, femme fatales, betrayals and good men committing plenty of sin. Affleck's Gone Baby Gone was also an adaptation of a Lehane novel. THR Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro are returning to their Rocky and Raging Bull roots in Grudge Match. I can't quite tell by Deadline's article if this is meant to be a comedy or drama, but the story will find Stallone and De Niro playing two retired brawlers looking to get back in the ring for one more fight. Kevin Hart...

The indie family drama The Grace That Keeps This World, the new movie from Terri director Azazel Jacobs, has announced the first three performers that will be joining its cast and it's a pretty damn good lineup.

Take two of the best young talents in Hollywood and throw them in a film together with a veteran actress in a family drama, and you've got our attention. Deadline reports that Glenn Close will star alongside James Franco and Brit Marling in The Grace That Keeps This World, a film adaptation of author Tom Bailey's novel with Terri director Azazel Jacobs sitting in the director's chair. The story follows a father and his sons as they get ready for an upcoming hunting season, but when a rookie environmental cop investigates some hunting violations, the family experiences conflicts that threaten to tear it apart. Read on! We're not sure yet which role these actors will play, though it's likely Close will be the matriarch of the family. Amazon calls it "a tale of profound loss, human fallibility, and the love—romantic, neighborly, or familial—that can sometimes blur our line of vision,...

A legend, a hipster multi-hyphenate, and a rising star and filmmaker all coming together? Could be something special or...something else, but "Terri" director Azazel Jacobs is certainly raising the bar for his next effort. Glenn Close, James Franco and Brit Marling will star in the drama "The Grace That Keeps This World." Penned by Matthew Aldrich ("Cleaner," "Father Daughter Time" that has Matt Damon attached to direct and star), and based on the book by Tom Bailey, the story centers around a father in a small town whose relationship with his sons is fraying following an investigation into hunting violations. Here's the book synopsis from Amazon: Gary and Susan Hazen—high school sweethearts married for many years, born and bred in the Adirondack community of Lost Lake—live a simple and honest life and have instilled values in their two grown sons by example. But despite their efforts, Gary senses that his sons are.

Not all games are created equal. Some games have a massive staff of hundreds of people behind them, with multimillion-dollar marketing budgets. Other games have one guy, and Kickstarter. Diamond Trust of London is a demonstration of the latter, and has finally completed its three-year journey to be released, helmed by indie darling Jason Rohrer. While much has been said about the story of the game's development and release, there hasn't been much talk of the game itself. This could leave some people to wonder whether or not the interesting part of Diamond Trust of London is everything that it went through to come out, and not the game itself. Fear not, there is something interesting, and worth playing inside that box.
Designed to take advantage of the two-player wireless connectivity of the DS, Diamond Trust of London isn't your average gaming fare. Culling more inspiration from board games more than anything else,...

Only moments after posting my last story about the long, hard road that Diamond Trust of London had to travel to finally be released, my copy of the game ended its journey on my doorstep. As a Kickstarter supporter I opted for the Limited Edition package, as I was sold on it being signed and numbered as well as having "special inclusions inside the package." Needless to say, my curiosity was piqued, and I have been wondering about just what exactly might show up since then. Today I found out just what my unique package contained.
Inside of an unassuming manila envelope that's numbered, categorized as miscellaneous, and marked to be destroyed after Dec 31 2010, were quite a bit of goodies.
First, and foremost was the aforementioned signed and numbered copy of the game – mine is number 443. Both designer Jason Rohrer and composer Tom Bailey have placed their autographs on the...

Forget Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee! There was one actor who truly epitomised classic Hammer horror, and that was the irreplaceable Michael Ripper. With a whopping 23 films to his name, he was to Hammer what Desmond Llewellyn was to James Bond.
Michael Ripper was born in Portsmouth on 27 January 1913. His father Harold was a civil servant who ran a local amateur dramatic company and taught elocution and speech therapy, his mother Edith worked as a teacher. Ripper had a very unhappy Victorian childhood; his dominant father was very much a stern disciplinarian.
A pupil of Portsmouth Grammar School, which he hated, Ripper was more or less pushed into acting by his father, who entered him in various poetry competitions. A close family friend and regular visitor to their Southsea home was the brilliant comic actor Alastair Sim.
Though he initially Ripper never wanted to be an actor, Ripper was eventually...
