Live-action adaptations of popular video game franchises have flourished recently, marking a clear rise in audience interest for that kind of project. Even still, it is unheard of to start developing a film adaptation before a game has even been released, but that is what developer Nekki is doing with their upcoming release, Spine.

Per Variety, Nekki believes that the world of Spine will be so captivating to audiences that as soon as the game releases, fans will be asking for a movie. The official description says Spine is "a female-led cyberpunk Gun Fu story set in a dystopian world. The main character, Redline, is an adventurous street artist battling against an autocratic AI regime -and its goons - to rescue her captive brother."

I'm on the fence about Eddie Griffin's latest stand-up special, You Can Tell 'Em I Said It. On one hand, the man is genuinely funny, a firebrand vulgarian whose trained, exaggerated body language only adds to the shock-value comedy that is his calling. There's no denying that Mr. Griffin's comedy occasionally leans on the now-ancient trope of "white people ____ like this, black people ____ like that", but I can hardly blame a comedian for playing the race card. There's an honesty to Griffin's delivery, a genuine intellectual appeal mixed with a overtly potty mouth that dispenses an extensive vocabulary of adult-only words.

This alone would somersault him above a middling career that in the last decade included flops Redline and Irish Jam (a film that, unsurprisingly, received its worst reviews in Ireland). In my opinion, Griffin peaked as an actor in John Q, and Undercover Brother was certainly a guilty pleasure.

Meet Predator Zero in the subprime-mortgage game: Armed with a third-grade education and the $250 he paid for a California lender’s license, Sadek quit his job as a Mercedes-Benz salesman (in Orange County!) and opened Quick Loan Funding, whose TV commercials promised,“No income verification! Instant qualification! You can’t wait, and we won’t let you!” According to a competitor, Sadek would have written a loan to “an insolvent arsonist.” By 2007, Quick Loan had approved $4 billion in subprime mortgages and was pulling in almost $200 million a month selling them to Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bear Stearns. His personal take-home was $5 million each month, which he splashed out on fast cars, million-dollar Vegas gambling jaunts, and a $26 million feature film—Redline—whose...

Funnyman Eddie Griffin has angrily slammed reports suggesting his Ferrari crash on Monday was a publicity stunt. The Norbit star was taking part in a charity race at the Irwindale Speedway in California when he lost control of a pal's sports car and crashed into a wall. Since the accident, critics have suggested the crash was a carefully staged stunt to gain publicity for Griffin's upcoming movie Redline, produced by the owner of the $1.5 million Ferrari. Griffin blasts, "You got crazy conspiracy theories that think it's a hoax... The pain I got in my neck is not a hoax." The comedian insists he could never crash such an expensive vehicle just for a publicity stunt: "How retarded do you got to be to think that somebody is going to wreck a million and a half dollar car as a hoax? Why would I want to be the one driving it and running it into a concrete divider as a hoax?" Griffin has cancelled commitments for two weeks to allow him time to recover from the crash, and he tells US news show Access Hollywood the accident has taught him a lesson. He adds, "I shouldn't be behind the wheel in a car race... We will stick to microphones."...

Nathan Phillips and Eddie Griffin are toplining Redline, an auto thriller being directed by stunt coordinator-turned-director Andy Cheng. Daniel Sadek is producing via his Chicago Pictures banner. The film also stars Nadia Bjorlin (Days of Our Lives) and will feature a cameo from Wyclef Jean, who is scoring the movie. Not only is Sadek, a real estate investor-turned-producer, financing the pic to the tune of $26 million, but he also is using his personal car collection for the car sequences. Sadek is putting his Phantom, Lamborghini Murcielago, Enzo Ferrari, Ferrari F430, Ferrari Scaglietti and two McLarens, among others, in the movie and will destroy one of his two $200,000 Porsche Carrera GTs in one sequence.
