    What if I told you they had made a movie adapting a pretty decent Elmore Leonard novel (Killshot), and that it starred Thomas Jane, Diane Lane, recently Oscar-nominated (and a good pick to win) Mickey Rourke, rising actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Rosario Dawson and it had been sitting on the shelf forever. Oh yeah, and…

    Variety reported that Universal was moving ahead with a 4th Bourne film, based on an original story instead of a Robert Ludlum novel.

The above movies are set to be remade…but wait…it’s a little more complicated. Will Smith and Steven Spielberg are names being tossed about for an Oldboy remake, but word around the web…
