Warners’ Suicide Mission
Warner Bros is to make a big screen version of DC Comics’ supervillain team, Suicide Squad, reports Variety. Justin Marks (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Hack/Slash, Street Fighter) is penning the screenplay, about a mix of villains recruited by the government to accomplish a task deemed too dangerous for superheroes. The historically independent operators must bury their own interpersonal conflicts and agendas to form a cohesive unit to take on a dangerous mission.

Recall Recalled
And if Hollywood isn’t adapting comics, it's remaking classics. The latest SF movie line for a revamp is the 1990 Schwarzenegger movie Total Recall, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Neal H Moritz and his Original Films banner are in final negotiations to develop and produce the update for Columbia. The original was based on a short story by Philip K Dick called We Can Remember It For You Wholesale.

NeverEvending Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
And yes, another remake. Warner Bros, The Kennedy/Marshall Co and Leonard DiCaprio's company Appian Way are in the early stages of a reboot of the 1980s children's fantasy classic NeverEnding Story, based on the excellent German novel by Michael Ende, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Fury Not Scorned
Marvel and Samuel L Jackson have clearly sorted out their difference, with the news that the actor has signed a deal to appear as Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD, in up to a possible nine movies, according to Coming Soon. That means he could appear in the upcoming Avengers, Thor and Captain America movies for starters, as well as any sequels.
