A theatrical production of To Kill a Mockingbird will open on Broadway. Scott Rudin, a famed producer, has acquired the stage adaptation rights.
According to Playbill, Aaron Sorkin, an Oscar-winning screenwriter, has agreed to adapt Harper Lee’s beloved novel for the script. Bartlett Sher, a Tony Award-winning director, has signed on to take the helm of this show.
The Wall Street Journal reports that “the move marks a reversal for Lee, who after To Kill a Mockingbird was published told her agent she didn’t want there to be a Broadway adaptation of the novel, according to correspondence in the archives of her former agent at Columbia University.” Last year, Lee shocked fans with a To Kill a Mockingbird sequel entitled Go Set a Watchman. HarperCollins published that book in July 2015. (via The New York Times)
The biopic has really overstayed its welcome. We’ve come a long way since the halcyon days of Patton, but in recent years, the genre has become synonymous with “larger than life” mythologizing, with the same or similar beats being hit over and over again. Even last year, one need not look further than last year’s […]

Academy Award-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin was tasked with adapting Walter Isaacson’s biography for the script. Entertainment Weekly reports that this film adaptation will hit theaters on October 9th. (via ComingSoon.net)
Thank you to Keris Stainton for pointing me toward this youtube rendition of Aaron Sorkin's Syracuse University commencement speech, which, watched a second time, is as good as it was the first time through.
Listen to the rhythms, the patterning returns, the wisdoms. Listen to the honesty. I loved this.
Two things happened this week: My friend Melissa Sarno got married to a beautiful man (and since she is a very beautiful woman, this is a heaven-made match) and I (as of a few hours ago) finished the first full draft of HANDLING THE TRUTH.
This may seem like a random pairing, but it is not, for it is dear and wise and good Melissa who, with a bit of Facebook jesting one lazy day, delivered unto me this book's title. She posted
this "A Few Good Men" video snatch on my wall. She dared me. It was all over after that. It seems especially fitting that these infamous movie lines were crafted by Aaron Sorkin, who gave the
perfect commencement speech at my son's university two weekends ago.
To purple (Melissa's favorite color). To truth. To intelligent jesting. And (we shall never forget) to Aaron Sorkin.
To sleeping in tomorrow.

Sony Pictures Entertainment will adapt Walter Isaacson‘s bestselling biography of Steve Jobs, with The Social Network screenwriter Aaron Sorkin writing on the script.
Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Amy Pascal had this statement: “Jobs’ story is unique: he was one of the most revolutionary and influential men not just of our time but of all time. There is no writer working in Hollywood today who is more capable of capturing such an extraordinary life for the screen than Aaron Sorkin; in his hands, we’re confident that the film will be everything that Jobs himself was: captivating, entertaining, and polarizing.”
Mark Gordon, Scott Rudin and Guymon Casady will produce the upcoming biopic. Deadline Hollywood has the release.

In this week of ubiquitous Facebook chatter, it seemed only appropriate to cap things off by addressing the creation myth that's been stirring the pot. And so, last night I caught "The Social Network" with a couple friends at a crowded movie theater... Read the rest of this post
Michael Fassbender had 3, not 2 collaborations with Steve McQueen. “Hunger” is as compelling as “Shame” and “Twelve Years A Slave”.
…and this relates to comics,…how?
loved when Steve Jobs wrote Uncanny X-Men
