HBO has green-lit a new film about Ernest Hemingway starring Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman, Deadline.com reports.

Hemingway & Gellhorn will follow the relationship between writers Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn. Owen, 45, will play the Nobel Prize-winning author and Kidman, 42 will take on Gellhorn, a famed 20th century war correspondent.

Is James Gandolfini returning to HBO?

Their courtship and five-year marriage is one of the most famous in American literature and helped inspire Hemingway’s critically acclaimed 1940 book For Whom the Bell Tolls.

James Gandolfini, who has reportedly been in talks to produce and possibly star in a new series at HBO, will executive-produce the film. Hemingway & Gellhorn was written by Barbara Turner and Jerry Stahl. Philip Kaufman will direct the film, which begins shooting next year.

EXCLUSIVE: It took James Gandolfini 6 years to get the story of Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn to the screen. Now HBO has just given the green light to Hemingway & Gellhorn, an original movie produced by Gandolfini, who first was attached to star in the project in 2004 when it was envisioned as a feature. He then brought Hemingway to HBO through his Attaboy production banner, which has been based at the pay cable network since 2006. It was worth the wait now that it stars Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman as one of American literature’s most famous couples. Philip Kaufman will direct from a script by Barbara Turner and Jerry Stahl. Filming is slated for next year in Northern California. Gandolfini will executive produce with his producing partner at Attaboy, Alex Ryan, as well as Turner, Philip Kaufman and Peter Kaufman. Gandolfini’s managers Nancy Sanders and Mark Armstrong will serve as co-executive producers and Trish Hofmann as producer.

In 1936, Ernest Hemingway was already a legend when he met Gellhorn, a novelist and one of the greatest war correspondents of the 20th Century, in a local bar in Key West. Their tumultuous romance and subsequent 5-year marriage took them to the Spanish Civil War as Gellhorn stood toe-to-toe with the literary master, putting his famous bravado and iconic style to the test. Gellhorn’s competitive nature inspired the novelist to pen one of its most famous novels,For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Hemingway & Gellhorn follows a development path similar to another biopic, Grey Gardens, which also started off as a feature and went through a long gestation period before finding its way to HBO with big-screen stars Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore onboard. It went on to become last year’s most lauded TV movie. HBO’s other recent high-profile original films include You Don’t Know Jackstarring Al Pacino, Temple Grandin starring Claire Danes, The Special Relationship starring Dennis Quaid and the upcoming Cinema Verite staring Diane Lane, Tim Robbins and Gandolfini. It also is filming the five-hour miniseriesMildred Pierce starring Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce.

Kidman recently finished shooting comedy Just Go with It opposite Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston and will next star in Rabbit Hole. Owen is currently filmingThe Killer Elite and will begin production on Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s Intrudersthis summer.

I’ve added new filming photos of Clive onlocation of ‘The Killer Elite’ is being filmed on May 18, 2010 in Melbourne, Australia.

JASON Statham and Clive Owen start filming their big budget flick, The Killer Elite, in Melbourne today, but is an even bigger Hollywood name set to join them?

Swoonworthy Owen and hardman Statham were yesterday seen out for lunch at trendy St Kilda restaurant Riva, with the action adventure movie’s producer Steve Chasmam.

Hot local names Yvonne Strahovski of I Love You Too and Cleo Bachelor of the Year and Underbelly star Firass Dirani were this week revealed as part of the star- studded cast, alongside Prison Break’s Dominic Purcell.

But one of the most interesting potential cast members is yet to be confirmed. Read the rest of this entry »

Lisa Wilson of GK Films affiliate Parlay Films is commencing sales here on the story of a bank robber fresh out of prison who has six hours to pay a $50m ransom after he learns a former accomplice has kidnapped his daughter and stashed her in the boot of one of Manhattan’s 12,000 yellow cabs.

In January, we received word that director Simon West and actor Paul Walker had been replaced by the duo of Patrick Alessandrin (of District 13: Ultimatum) and Clive Owen in the action flick Protection. Now it looks like we have another change in the talent line-up as The Wrap reports Alessandrin has left the project and Dwayne Johnson has replaced Owen in the film about a disgraced ex-Special Forces soldier who takes on a Mexican cartel in an attempt to rescue and protect a judge’s 21 year-old daughter, who has been targeted by the cartel for agreeing to testify against a member after she witnesses her father’s murder.

This project is one of a couple that will see Johnson returning to action (finally!) after taking on too much family fare like Planet 51 and The Tooth Fairy recently. The other is Faster, written by Joe and Tony Gayton and directed by George Tillman (Notorious, Men of Honor) which focuses on an ex-con looking to avenge his brother’s murder, who is trailed by a veteran cop. Both sound mighty generic to me, and if Protection has switched out lead actors and directors twice now (a new director has yet to be named) then it sounds like maybe the script should just be left in a pile somewhere. We’ll see what happens, for better or worse.

Earlier this month, columnist Roger Friedman (the guy who was fired by News Corp for promoting illegal downloading of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) stated on his blog that Spike Lee was finishing shooting the “Inside Man” sequel with Denzel Washington and Clive Owen.

The news turned out to be completely false. “We were going to do ‘Inside Man 2′ but it didn’t workout,” Lee told ESPN a few days ago. He didn’t go on to explain whether the movie fell apart because of Washington or other reasons.

“Inside Man” is Lee’s highest grossing film, grossing $184 million on a $45 million budget. There have been plans to develop a sequel. It not looks like those plans are on hold. Stay tuned.
