Fox 2000 Stakes Claim To Shiny Nugget Of ‘The Floor of Heaven’

It appears that the Next Big Thing in movies today is the Gold Rush of the late 19th century, if two movies are enough to make a Big Thing. There’s Gold in the Snow, with Robert Redford, and now there’s The Floor of Heaven, a nonfiction account by Howard Blum of a chapter in gold rush history about Charlie Siringo, a cowboy-turned-detective who investigates the theft of some pretty expensive gold bars.

No word yet on who will direct or star, considering there isn’t even a screenplay yet. So it looks like we won’t be having an Armageddon/Deep Impact situation on our hands.

This sounds really cool to me, especially since I love gold rush movies (you should check out The Treasure of the Sierra Madre ASAP if you haven’t seen it). (via Deadline)

Taylor Lautner Is Going To Jail

"Not beanie-weenie again."

They’re going to love Taylor Lautner in prison. He’s just been sentenced to star in Incarceron. The dumbly-titled film centers around a young man who has spent his entire life in a savage prison society who falls in love with the warden’s daughter. Because if there’s one thing a warden would do, it would be to let his daughter come visit his savage prison. “Come to work with Daddy, honey. Don’t look anybody in the eye.”

Anyway, those two fall in love and try to figure out a way for Taylor to escape. I recommend stuffing one of those Taylor Lautner Twilight love pillows into the bed, and then slink out undetected. Either that or he can somehow use his abs to bend the bars. The audience for this really won’t care. (Deadline)
