Ben Affleck and Matt Damon to Adapt Comic Book 'Sleeper'

The Holden Carver story will be produced for Warner Bros. with its script written by Shawn Ryan and David Wiener.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are teaming up to produce a big-screen adaptation of "Sleeper", a comic book series written by Ed Brubaker with illustration by Sean Phillips. The two actors will produce the project along with Jennifer Todd through their Pearl Street Films.

Running from 2003 to 2005, the book follows covert agent Holden Carver, who can absorb pain and pass it on to others, as he goes undercover in a criminal organization. His loyalty to his law enforcement agency comes into question after he falls in love with the alluring assassin, Miss Misery.

Shawn Ryan, the creator of FX's cop drama "The Shield", is attached to write the screenplay along with playwright David Wiener whose credits include AMC's gritty crime show "The Killing". No director and actors have been tapped for the Warner Bros. project.

The film has long been stalled. Back in 2008, WB developed it with Sam Raimi and Josh Donen as producers. It was originally rumored being planned as a starring vehicle for Tom Cruise.

First Look At “One Chance” With Taylor Swift’s “Sweeter Than Fiction” Song

Taylor Swift recorded the song “Sweeter Than Fiction” for the film “One Chance.” Below is a description of the movie:

'' The true story of Paul Potts, a shy, bullied shop assistant by day and an amateur opera singer by night who became a phenomenon after being chosen for — and ultimately winning — ‘Britain’s Got Talent.’ ''

Taylor told fans about having to be a part of the film:

'' I had to fight to do this because I try to take a break in between albums and try and give people a minute to not hear me on the radio. I had to go around and ask people, ‘Can I please, please put something out?’ even though we’re supposed to be going quiet. My management, my label were like, ‘No new music until the next album comes out. Then I saw the movie and I was like, ‘I have to be a part of this.’ I think this movie is so incredible, it’s funny, it’s adorable, it’s heart-warming and I’m lucky to be a part of it. Anyone watching this film is going to be inspired to do something, to write a song, to go after what they want or to be supportive of someone they love who has a dream. ''

Demi Lovato on Miley Cyrus: “I didn't twerk, I just went to rehab”

Everyone from Sinead O’Connor to Pink to Cliff Richard has had their say on Miley Cyrus.

Now, fellow ex-Disney star Demi Lovato has voiced her opinion on Miley’s headline grabbing antics.
The X Factor USA judge reckons that she made the transition from child star to grown up without the need to cause controversy because she went into rehab.

“I think that the world needs to get over the fact that she was Hannah Montana when she was 16," Demi said during an interview with Katie Couric.

“I guess my transition was a little easier because I went straight to rehab. I didn't twerk, I just went to rehab," she joked.
Excessive twerking – especially when it’s up against Robin Thicke – is no laughing matter, Demi.
The former Sonny With A Chance actress - who sought treatment for physical and emotional issues - also refrained from judging Miley over her outrageous behaviour,

"I think she knows what she's doing. A lot of artists take that route of shock value, and that's totally fine and that's great. 

“But I think she has such an incredible voice that's overshadowed by some of the things that she's doing,

“It's her journey,” continued Demi. “She's having fun. She's being who she. Everyone is on their different journeys right now and she's doing that and she's having fun… so power to her."

Chris Brown ordered back to rehab after throwing a rock at his mum’s car

Chris Brown, man! Come on! Idiot! Don’t be an idiot forever, idiot! Here’s what he’s done now: he has thrown a rock at his own mum’s car just a week after cheerily walking out of rehab for anger management issues and now he’s been ordered back to rehab again because he is an actual idiot.
According to Sky News, the singer chucked a rock through the window of his own mum’s car on November 10, after the pair had a joint counseling session which we’re going to go out on a limb here and say went ‘not well’.

So angry!

 

And according to a letter submitted to court by the rehab facility in which he spent three weeks in October, the reason he got angry and threw a rock through his own mum’s window is – get this – because she suggested he needed more treatment for his anger issues. WAY TO PROVE THOSE DOUBTERS WRONG, CHRIS BROWN.
“Mr Brown proceeded to walk outside and pick up a rock and throw it through his mother’s car window and it shattered,” the court documents said.

You think he got mad at his shirt so he took it off?

 

As a result, the facility where Chris was staying discharged him – on the grounds that he signed a contract agreeing to refrain from violence while staying there, but throwing rocks through car windows sort of counts as ‘violence’ – but this week a probation judge ordered him back to rehab for further treatment on renewed terms.
So, in review: Chris Brown got kicked out of anger management for being too angry, and now he has to undergo more anger management treatment than he was originally planning on having because he is so ruddy angry. GOOD JOB, CHRIS BROWN. TAKE THAT, HATERS.

WATCH: Jessie J - Thunder

J-J-J-Jessie J's back! This time she's showing off her twirling skills for the video accompanying her new single, Thunder.

In the vid, she wears a gorgeous nude body suit with strategic black embellishments and a sort of cloak thing that gets whirled around her head a lot for dramatic effect.

In what might be the lowest-budget music video ever made for an established pop artist, Jessie stands around in a sandy studio with the headlights of a nearby car illuminating her.

There's also lots of lightning strikes tearing through the air above her head, and quite frankly we were a bit scared she might be risking it by not immediately lying down or slipping on her favourite rubber brothelcreepers to prevent being fried by the bolts.

Still, at least she's not playing golf next to the only tree for miles around, or flying a kite in a strong storm.

That would be silly, Jessie J.
