Colin Firth may star in "Untouchable", remake of a French Dramedy (HIT FIX)

Paul Feig may be venturing into considerably darker territory with his next film.

The "Bridesmaids" helmer is in early talks with the Weinstein Co. to write and direct a new dramedy entitled "Untouchable", based on the hit French film "The Intouchables", about a wealthy man who becomes a quadriplegic after a tragic accident and later bonds with his young caretaker.

What's more, Academy Award winner Colin Firth - most recently seen in Tomas Alfredson's "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" - is negotiating to take the lead role in the film, which sounds like some pretty serious awards bait. Could the actor already be heading for his second Oscar? The news was broken by Variety.

Michael Fassbender Finds The Mountain Between Us (CRAVE ON LINE)

Michael Fassbender is in talks to headline Gerardo Naranjo's (Miss Bala) next film, The Mountain Between Us, Variety reports.

Based on the 2010 novel by Charles Martin, the book is officially described as follows:


On a stormy winter night, two strangers wait for a flight at the Salt Lake City airport. Ashley Knox is an attractive, successful writer, who is flying East for her much anticipated wedding. Dr. Ben Payne has just wrapped up a medical conference and is also eager to return home to Jacksonville, FL for a slate of surgeries he has scheduled for the following day. 


When the last outgoing flight is cancelled due to a broken de-icer and a forthcoming storm, Ben finds a charter plane that can take him around the storm and drop him in Denver to catch a connection. And when the pilot says the single engine prop plane can fit one more, if barely, Ben offers the seat to Ashley knowing that she needs to get back just as urgently. 


And then the unthinkable happens. The pilot has a heart attack mid-flight and the plane crashes into the High Uintas Wilderness-- one of the largest stretches of harsh and remote land in the United States.
