Spider-Man Noir series in the works for Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video is developing a live-action Spider-Man Noir series based on the Marvel comic. The as-yet untitled series, written and executive produced by Oren Uziel (The Lost City), ‘follows an older, grizzled superhero in 1930s New York City.’  Sources close to the project say that the show is set in its own universe that involves an alternate Spider-Man character who is not Peter Parker. Uziel developed the series with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal who will serve as executive producers.

Kristen Stewart to portray Susan Sontag in new biopic

Kristen Stewart will star as feminist writer Susan Sontag in Sontag, an upcoming biopic. The film will actually begin filming at this month’s Berlin International Film Festival, where Stewart heads this year’s international jury. Says producer Gabrielle Tana, “It will be a drama, but with a documentary aspect to it. Kirsten has a wonderful approach to storytelling, and this is reflective of that, so she will use documentary in it.”
