Now, if you read HOLLYWOOD SPY regularly you already know that
Wentworth Miller isn't only an actor, but also a writer whose scripts are getting made into films. One of his new gigs is writing a script for the movie adaptation of
THE STORY OF EDGAR SAWTELLE bestseller written by
David Wroblewski. The Hamlet like story follows a mute young boy whose parents are dog breeders who has to run away from home following his father's mysterious death, and hatch a plot to expose his uncle as the murderer. It is interesting that the film will be produced by
Oprah Winfrey and
Tom Hanks. When it comes to acting, Wenty will appear this year next to equally amazing
Karl Urban and
James Marsden in
THE LOFT, about businessmen who share a secret loft where they take their lovers, but the things get complicated when a dead girl is found there.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Ah, don't you just love how many new epic shows we're getting in the near future? NBC has decided to jump on this train and give us some
CLEOPATRA. According to "Deadline" they have ordered a pilot for the period set series on legendary Egyptian queen which is described as an epic romance that takes place in a world of sorcery, gods and monsters. The characters of Mark Antony and Julius Caesar will also appear in the potential series, which will follow Cleopatra as she unleashes a terrible curse to win back her throne.
Good news also come from
SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN sequel which has just fired that horrid
Kristen Stewart and is now focusing on making the sequel a spin-off which would actually focus on
Chris Hemsworth's huntsman! That was actually the original plan as well, but her cheating scandal has fast-tracked the idea.

Aaron Paul from
BREAKING BAD has joined a stellar cast including
