In the Pipe

These are in development, production, or coming out really soon.

Avatar by James Cameron
Cameron was planning on doing this story of genetically altered life forms immediately after Titanic. He actually had 200 page scriptment written at that point, but it was seemingly put aside indefinitely. Now it seems that Cameron's mysterious Project 880 is actually Avatar after all. This isn't surprising to me, since Lightstorm Entertainment recently asked us internet folks to stop hosting the Avatar materials online. Confused? See the Joblo story here. Ain't it Cool has a synopsis of the scriptment here.

Diamond Dead by Brian Cooper and George Romero
While Romero was waiting for a greenlight on his 4th Dead movie, he started working on a totally different zombie movie involving an undead rock band. The project was put on hold when Land of the Dead went into production. Check out the screenplay and the production diary at DiamondDead.com Read a review of the script at UGO Screenwriter's Voice.

I Am Legend by Mark Protosevich
I Am Legend by John Logan
Everyone who has read Richard Matheson's book wants this movie done right. Previous versions have featured Vincent Price (Last Man on Earth) and Chuck Heston (The Omega Man). This project has been in and out of development for awhile -- Arnold Schwartzenegger was attached back before Will Smith took the role of John Neville. When Akiva Goldsman came on board as a writer, he went back to the Protosevich script and collaborated with him on a new draft. Hear a revealing interview ith Goldsman on KCRW's The Business.

Watchmen by Sam Hamm
It hasn't been easy adapting Alan Moore's epic comic into a satisfying screenplay. Terry Gilliam wanted to do it for awhile. Later there were rumors of a script by David Hayter to be shot in Prague with Darren Aronofsky at the helm, but he left the project. Next up was Bourne Supremacy director Paul Greengrass. As of 2007, director Zack Snyder (300, Dawn of the Dead) has the project. IMDB credits the screenplay to David Hayter and Alex Tse.
