A remake of Stuart Gordon’s Robot Jox](Robot Jox (1989) - IMDb) is not actually in the works, but that’s not stopping artist Robert Simons from re-imagining it.
Corona Coming Attractions has the skinny on the new Riddick movie, which is tentatively titled Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking. They see it as a straight R and call it, “The Road Warrior to Pitch Black’s Mad Max; a stripped-down, hard-edge actioner that just happens to take place on a world where there’s three moons and mud demons and trisons and two shipfuls of mercs hunting down the galaxy’s most wanted man.”
Whole Foods will soon be launching a 15-strong film series called “Let’s Retake Our Plates”](http://letsretakeourplates.com/) to help educate consumers that their food choices have an impact on the environment. Any excuse to watch Soylent Green is a good excuse in my book.
Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are producing an untitled airport-thriller for DreamWorks to be written by Jeremy Slater. Between this and Screen Gems’ Quarantine 2](http://www.horrorsquad.com/2010/03/09/quarantine-2-wont-be-anything-like-rec-2/), we may be in for a Dante’s Peak/Volcano pair of airport-bound doppelgangers.
