The good book is back in showbiz. Darren Aronofsky has a bearded Russell Crowe for Noah. The documentary Bible Quiz is in post-production. Will Smith’s directorial debut will be Cain and Abel (reportedly with a vampire twist). Paul Verhoeven’s Jesus of Nazareth has its finance in place. Justin Theroux is rewriting Swear to God – a comedy about a hedge-fund manager who has seen the Almighty. Ridley Scott, Warner Bros – with a rumour of Spielberg directing – and the Chernin Entertainment Company all have Moses movies. Mary Mother of Christ, a film about the life of Jesus up to age 12, is currently prepping, as is Langston Hughes’s Black Nativity, with a cast of Samuel L Jackson, Angela Bassett and Jennifer Hudson. And earlier this week, a Pontius Pilate movie was greenlit.

Holding out for a 3D hero | Film | guardian.co.uk

A recent LA Times report suggested audiences are slowly being turned off spending extra money for a 3D fix. While 71% of those who went to see Avatar made sure to view it in stereoscope, filmgoers have gradually realised that not all movies are made to such a high technical standard. Last year in the US, 61% saw Shrek Forever After in 3D in May and 60% shelled out for higher-price Toy Story 3 tickets in June, but by August, just 45% were willing to pay to see Despicable Me in 3D.

Mais noooooon, c’est pas un problème de qualité !

C’est juste qu’au bout de trois quarts d’heure de film en 3D, j’ai envie de m’arracher les yeux des orbites, parce que j’ai l’impression d’avoir des morceaux de popcorn coincés au niveau du nerf optique.
