Hey kids…can you spell disaster?
If you spelled it E-H-R-E-N-space-K-R-U-G-E-R, then I knew that you could.
Kruger’s Hollywood resume is almost as nighmarish as the serial slasher who shares his name. He’s been responsible for such low-rent fare as The Skeleton Key and Scream 3. Though he did have a little something to do with Blood and Chocolate, it’s not much reason to hold out hope. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
But now, Kruger’s going to be sole writer for the Transformers 3 script, as the other two writers of Transformers 2 have bugged out. Considering his track record thus far, it’s not boding real what you’d call well for the third installment of the gigantic cash cow of a series.
Scuse me while I go looking for some comfort whiskey, while I count down the days until the release of this next grotesquerie on our childhoods when Transformers 3 comes out in 2011.

Well-known The Departed scribe William Monahan is set to work on another crime story and possible as the director.
“The Art of the Heist: Confessions of a Master Thief, Rock-and-Roller and Prodigal Son” is the project about the forthcoming memoirs of career criminal Myles Connor.
The book was co-written with Jenny Siler and will be published in April by Collins.
Connor turned into an art connoisseur and a rock musician whose band, Myles and the Wild Ones, backed Roy Orbison. He was also a skilled art and antiques thief who was implicated in a series of museum robberies that captured headlines in Boston in the 1970s and 1980s.
Monahanwill direct the script but it’s unclear if he will write the script.

Screenwriter making her directorial debut is always an exciting venture for those who understand what it takes to get in that position as a woman.
Looks like Massy Tadjedin got herself all set for her movie, Last Night, with stars like Keira Knightly, Eva Mendes, Sam Worthington and Guillaume Canet.
The story takes the path of a married couple who part for one night as the husband takes a business trip with a colleague to whom he’s attracted — whoa!
Yet, he resists temptation, but his wife encounters her past love — double whoa!
Apparently the script is awesome — Go Girl!

One of Hollywood’s biggest writers and show creators, Aaron Sorkin, is getting chummy on Facebook.
Sorkin is in talks about writing a film about the founders of the popular social networking site.
According to Hollywood Reporter, Sorkin broke the news on Facebook when he opened up his own account.
“I understand there are a few other people using Facebook pages under my name — which I find more flattering than creepy — but this is me. I don’t know how I can prove that but feel free to test me,” he wrote before going on to talk about the movie project.
“I figured a good first step in my preparation would be finding out what Facebook is, so I’ve started this page. (Actually it was started by my researcher, Ian Reichbach, because my grandmother has more Internet savvy than I do and she’s been dead for 33 years.)”
Sorkin also asked the Facebook public for any stories relating to the site.
“I feel about this introduction the way I felt about ‘Sophie’s Choice’: It could have been funnier,” Sorkin finished.
