Colin Trevorrow is coming off of one gazillion-dollar sequel and cueing up another, but in between he’s making progress on a couple of smaller projects. His Book of Henry has just added Sarah Silverman, Lee Pace, and Dean Norris to its cast, while Stealing Time is coming back to life with a new writer. Get updates on […]

The post Colin Trevorrow’s ‘Book of Henry’ Adds Sarah Silverman; ‘Stealing Time’ Gets a New Writer appeared first on /Film.

Colin Trevorrow is still at least a couple of years away from starting work on Star Wars Episode IX, and so in the meantime, he’s working on The Book of Henry for Focus Features. The cast of the movie has already attracted Naomi Watts (The Divergent Series), Jaeden Lieberher (St. Vincent), and Jacob Tremblay (Room), and now three more very impressive casting additions have been made in the form of Lee Pace (Guardians of the Galaxy), Sarah Silverman (A Million Ways to Die in the West), and Dean Norris (Breaking Bad).

Following the success of Jurassic World (now the third highest grossing movie of all-time), it perhaps shouldn’t come as any sort of surprise that Trevorrow has attracted such a great cast for his next project. The plot of the movie is being kept under wraps for now, but the screenplay was written by best-selling novelist Gregg Hurwitz,...

After your film makes well over a billion dollars worldwide, it's only natural that studios will start digging up your past work. Seven years ago Colin Trevorrow wrote Stealing Time, a time-traveling adventure film which Walt Becker (Wild Hogs) was set to direct for Columbia, and now THR reports that the project has been revived by Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks. Stealing Time involves... Read More...

"Pixels" and "This Means War" scribe Tim Dowling has been hired to pen a new draft of the time-travel adventure "Stealing Time," an old script by "Jurassic World" director Colin Trevorrow who will executive produce.

The story involves a scientist who flees into the past to protect his time machine from crooks bent on exploiting time travel. This forces his son and grandson to rebuild the device in the present to rescue him.

Bob Cooper and Charles Segars will produce that project, no word as yet when it might go into production.

In other script news, New Line has acquired Michael Gunn's screenplay "The Virginian," a period action thriller about George Washington. Donald De Line will produce.

The story follows a down-and-out young Washington who accepts a dangerous mission to conquer a French fort and save the American colonies.

You won't see Mathieu Almaric in his new film, "The Screen Illusion" -- which is part of the Rendez-vous with French Cinema Film Festival -- because this time, he's the director.

In fact, Almaric -- best-known to American audiences through his roles in "Munich, "Le Scaphandre et le Papillion" ("The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"), and "Quantum of Solace," has been a director longer than he's been an actor. As a teenager, he took a job as a trainee Ad on Louis Malle's "Au Revoir les Enfants" and he won Best Director at Cannes in 2010 for "Tournee." He has also worked with some of France's best directors, of course -- among them Arnaud Desplechin and Alain Resnais -- and he'll next be seen in David Cronenberg's forthcoming "Cosmopolis," playing a "pastry assassin" who creams Robert Pattinson in the face as part of his mission to sabotage power and wealth worldwide.

Mike Gabrawy has been named head of production for Arclight Films.

Based in Los Angeles and reporting to managing director Gary Hamilton, he will oversee a slate of eight to 10 in-house productions per year, including international productions.

Gabrawy previously served as a production exec at Constantin Film, where he was responsible for acquiring and developing the Sony PlayStation game "Resident Evil" for film. He also had a hand in developing the "Fantastic Four" movies.

His credits as producer include "All You Need," "Stealing Time" and the documentary "Running With Arnold."

At Arclight, he will be involved with the film adaptation of Top Cow comic book property "Witchblade" with Platinum Studios, to be directed by Michael Rymer; Stan Winston's last creature creation, "Speed Demon"; and Kaare Andrews supernatural thriller "Altitude."...

Walt Becker has signed on to direct “Stealing Time” for Columbia Pictures, Variety reported earlier today.
