Deadline reports that Jared Leto is set to star in a new film inspired by the real-life case of Dr. Lawrence Gray, a retired professor turned thief who allegedly stole over $1 million worth of art and jewels from various homes.
The untitled film is based on the article The Talented Dr. Gray by Steve Kroft and Howard L. Rosenberg, which was published in Graydon Carter’s Air Mail in 2022. Andy Bellin (Lovelace) is writing the script. “The moment I read the article, I knew this would make an incredible movie,” Bellin said. “The real hook here is the psychology of Dr. Gray and the fantastic twists that come along with it. This story explores the perceived perfect lives of privilege and glamour, which is actually a world of cunning, subterfuge and deception. We’re so lucky that Jared has the same drive for such complex characters; and that h.wood Media...

New Projects is a weekly round up of movies and TV shows recently announced and currently in development for the near future.
See, Netflix isn’t just in the business of producing multiple Adam Sandler movies. Their next big original film deal will likely help them compete even more with HBO, as they’re teaming up with Leonardo DiCaprio and his Appian Way Pictures to produce a series of environmental documentaries as Netflix originals.
DiCaprio executive produced Virunga, a documentary about mountain gorillas in the Congo, that was eventually released by Netflix and was nominated for an Oscar this year. Now DiCaprio will continue to produce or executive produce original documentaries or ones acquired through film festivals, all part of a multi-year deal between Netflix and Appian Way.
“Working with Netflix on Virunga has sparked a shared vision about projects that we want to develop and bring to viewers,” said DiCaprio via The Hollywood Reporter.

The third Hippodrome Festival of Silent Cinema - which opened with contemporary crowd-pleaser The Artist on Wednesday, kicked off a weekend of classics last night with a gala performance of Gloria Swanson's 1925 romantic comedy Stage Struck.
While Swanson is probably most familiar to modern audiences as the bitter and washed-up star of Billie Wilder's Sunset Blvd, which is currently touring the UK courtesy of a restored Park Circus print, Stage Struck sees her at the other end of the spectrum - as put-upon waitress Jenny, who longs to become an actress in the hopes of impressing her would-be sweetheart, diner wheat-cake flipper Orme (Lawrence Gray).
The film is a feel-good mix of charm and sight gags, with early scenes in the crowded diner giving Swanson a chance to shine at slapstick, while the opening sequence - shot in two-strip technicolor - sees her mercilessly...
