The Hollywood Reporter is confirming Nikki Finke’s report that Baz Luhrmann (Australia) has acquired the rights to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel The Great Gatsby and will quickly move to make the project his next film: “I’m going to move faster than I have before. I’d be surprised if it’s another seven years,” referring to the time period between his last two films Moulin Rouge! and Australia.
“If you wanted to show a mirror to people that says, ‘You’ve been drunk on money,’ they’re not going to want to see it. But if you reflected that mirror on another time they’d be willing to.”
“People will need an explanation of where we are and where we’ve been, and ‘The Great Gatsby’ can provide that explanation.”

Collider conducted an interview with Warner Bros. president Alan Horn, who talked about several of the studio’s projects including the status of The Dark Knight sequel, Green Lantern and more. Here are some highlights from the interview:
“We’ve been talking to [director] Chris Nolan and what we have to do is get him in the right place and have him tell us what he thinks the notion might be for a great story, but Chris did a great job and we’d love to have him come back and do another one.”
“Yes. The story is everything and we are very respectful of Chris. We have a wonderful relationship with him and we are going to be respectful of his timing and we want to get it right. Also, I think the fans expect that – they want us to make a terrific movie – we have to give them another great movie.”
When asked which property is closest to hitting the big screen, Horn offered: “I think Green Lantern is probably the best guess but I can’t promise it at this moment.”
Horn also said that we’ll “probably” see another Superman “in the next couple years”, adding “We’re very anxious to bring Superman back also.”

Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black) has been tapped by MGM to direct the action comedy film The How-To Guide for Saving the World from screenwriter BenDavid Grabinski.
“I loved the writing and the concept: What would happen if, one afternoon, the secret group that protects Earth from alien invaders was wiped out?” Sonnenfeld said. “Fortunately, they left behind an instruction manual for saving Earth. Unfortunately, a non-action-hero guy — not unlike me in terms of manliness — and a woman who hates him find the book and have to save the planet from an impending attack.”
