The Emmy-winning director, who also directed the 2012 war drama Red Tails, will be working on the film penned by Matthew King that gives audiences a look at the competitive but not paying world of college football, as well as working towards exposing the flaws in the system that benefits from players who are frequently struggling with making ends meet off of the field.

NFL MVPs Rodgers and Desmond Howard, who also holds a Heisman trophy and is currently an ESPN analyst, will executive produce the film alongside Ryan Rottman (Billionaire Boys Club) and Hemingway will produce the project with former LSU receiver Abram Booty and Nate Raabe.

“It is my hope that Work Horses will help shed more light on a topic I’ve been addressing on television for a dozen years,” added College Football Hall of Famer Howard. “I want to continue to be a voice for the players and fight for systemic changes.”

The project marks Amazon’s continuing investment in one of America’s most popular sports, having had multiple documentaries and streaming NFL games during the week.

“It speaks to the rigors of college athletics and the pressures and difficulties these young men face,” The Wire and Underground alum Hemingway said of the project.  “I’m extremely excited to delve into this world of class, power and justice with ex-journalist Matt King as our writer.”

King, a former contributor for the now-dead newspaper The Village Voice, is currently working on the music drama Idol with Hailee Steinfeld (Bumblebee) set to star and produce and Netflix in negotiations for distributing the project.

The announcement was made via Deadline.

Krasinski Calls A Quiet Place Sequel ‘Second Book in a Series of Books’

John Krasinski Gives A Quiet Place Sequel Update: "It Doesn't Feel Like A Sequel"

Krasinski calls A Quiet Place sequel ‘Second book in a series of books’

Nearly seven months into the writing process on the sequel to the acclaimed horror hit, writer/director John Krasinski has sat down with Business Insider to give an update on the A Quiet Place follow-up, which he says “doesn’t feel like a sequel.”

RELATED: Emily Blunt Teases Prequel Elements For A Quiet Place 2

“I don’t even see it as a sequel,” Krasinski told the site. Emily [Blunt] actually blew my mind by categorizing it the correct way after I pitched it to her. She said, ‘This isn’t a sequel at all — this is the second book in a series of books. It’s a widening of a world.’ And I thought that’s the best way to look at it. It doesn’t feel like a sequel — it’s a continuation of living in that world.

Krasinski and Blunt sat down with Entertainment Weekly early November and discussed the development of the sequel, with Krasinski saying he originally had no interest in working on the sequel until he had an idea and fell down a rabbit hole of creativity. Now, speaking with Business Insider, Krasinski says he’s more excited than ever to be working on the film.

“I can’t wait to get in there and keep writing and see what this movie wants to allow itself to be. And that will happen in the script process and the shooting and the editing. But I think what’s cool about the second part of this movie is the same set of rules have to apply. I can’t just introduce a world where you can make a ton of sound, and if I did, there would have to be a reason for it. So it’s figuring out if there are smart and clever ways to do it.”

RELATED: A Quiet Place Sequel on the Way from Paramount!

From Paramount Pictures, A Quiet Place opened in theaters on April 6, 2018, and grossed over $334 million worldwide on a $17 million dollar budget.

The film was directed by John Krasinski, who starred opposite his real-life wife Emily Blunt. Noah Jupe (SuburbiconWonder) and Millicent Simmonds (Wonderstruck) round out the cast.

In the modern horror thriller, a family of four must navigate their lives in silence after mysterious creatures that hunt by sound threaten their survival. If they hear you, they hunt you. The film has minimal dialogue, because silence is survival.

A Quiet Place is produced by Michael Bay (Transformers) and his Platinum Dunes partners Andrew Form and Brad Fuller (OuijaThe PurgeTexas Chainsaw Massacre), from a spec script by Bryan Woods & Scott Beck which was rewritten by Krasinski. The sequel is currently slated to hit theaters on May 15, 2020.

The Spy Who Came In From The Co-Op being adapted by the BBC

David Burke’s cold war novel The Spy Who Came In From The Co-Op: Melita Norwood and the Ending of Cold War Espionage is being developed into a drama seriesAccording to Deadline, the production will be shared by The BBC, Two Cities Television, and Water and Power Productions.

Julie Gearey (Cuffs, Prisoners’ Wives) will be writing the script based on Burke’s novel. The Spy Who Came in From the Co-Op focuses on one-time British Spy Melita Norwood, who was revealed to have been working with the USSR for decades back in 1999. Given that Norwood was then 87, authorities decided she was too old to prosecute. Even though she’d helped the Soviets complete a nuclear bomb five years sooner than they would have without her. She died in 2005 at the age of 93.

This marks yet another political-oriented project for Two Cities Television, a BBC Studios-backed drama produced which was established by former President of Programming at USA Entertainment Michael Jackson and Chairman of Universal Television and President of Programming for IAC, and Wall to Wall founder Alex Graham. They are also developing a drama series based on Michael Wolff’s tell-all novel Fire and Fury, which follows Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and subsequent early days in the White House.

Once Upon A Deadpool TV spot is full of holiday cheer

Now that the holiday season is here, it’s time we all look forward to a visit from a certain wholesome, red-clad someone.

Once Upon a Deadpool will contain footage from Deadpool 2, but edited down to a PG-13 format which means cutting some of the violence and language. Fans can also expect new footage “in the form of a framing sequence” in the revamped film that Ryan Reynolds and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick devised for the project.

RELATED: Once Upon a Deadpool Trailer Promises a Mean PG-13

Fred Savage will reprise his role from the 1987 classic, The Princess Bride, in the new framing sequence alongside Reynold’s Deadpool. Eight scenes were filmed for the new footage in the upcoming project.

Additionally, the movie will raise money for charity. For every ticket sold, $1 will be given to F-ck Cancer.

Directed by David Leitch, Deadpool 2 finds Ryan Reynolds reprises his role as the Merc with a Mouth alongside Zazie Beetz (Atlanta) as the luck-manipulating mutant Domino and Josh Brolin as Cable, the time-traveling son of the X-Men’s Cyclops. Jack Kesy (The StrainBaywatch) stars as Black Tom, with Japanese actress Shioli Kutsuna and Julian Dennison (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) playing Yukio and Firefist.

Director Joe Russo Says Chris Evans ‘Isn’t Done Yet’ with Captain America

Director Joe Russo says Chris Evans ‘isn’t done yet’ with Captain America

While there have been a few clues that actor Chris Evans was hanging up his Captain America shield after the upcoming follow-up to Avengers: Infinity War, the film’s co-director Joe Russo revealed that might not be the case. In an interview with The Associated Press, Russo addressed the topic of Evans’ future with the MCU directly.

I think it was more emotional for him than us, only because, you know, he’s not done yet. And I won’t explain what that means, but the audience will soon understand what I’m talking about,” Russo said.

He later goes on to address the fact that the still-untitled Avengers 4 is currently sitting at a three-hour runtime, and believes that it will be a while before there’s an Avengers 5 given that Disney has to integrate all of the Marvel characters currently licensed to FOX after the House of Mouse’s recent acquisition. You can check out the full excerpt from the interview below.

Given that Captain America survived Thanos’s snap at the end of Infinity War, he will be playing a fundamental role in the upcoming sequel, as will the other members of the original Avengers that shared the screen for the first time back in 2012. We won’t know more until Avengers 4 hits theaters in May.

Evans, meanwhile, has joined the already star-studded cast of his upcoming murder mystery Knives Out. He’s also set to star and executive produce Defending Jacob for Apple’s forthcoming streaming service, and will appear in Neil Blomkamp’s Greenland.
