A new film adaptation is in the works for the non-fiction novel, “The Psychopath Test” written by Jon Ronson. It was announced last week that the film already has a star by way of Scarlett Johannson.

The book follows Ronson as he delves into the manipulative, deceitful and delusional world of psychopathy. He interviews a psychologist who convinces him that many of the world’s most influential businessmen and politicians may in fact be highly functional psychopaths. With a new set of skills to help him spot who may be psychotic, Ronson aims to uncover truths behind psychopathy diagnoses, treatments and how to identify a true psychopath.

The Psychopath Test will be directed by Jay Roach who is known for several different types of films, television shows, and miniseries. He previously worked on Recount and Game Change, but also showed his talent for comedy in Austin Powers and Meet the Parents.

“Hit-Girl” Centric Movie May Happen

Matthew Vaughn, the director behind the successful “Kick-Ass” movies has revealed recently that he has been flirting with the idea of a standalone prequel to  Kick-Ass featuring Hit-Girl.

Vaughn spoke about the idea during a press tour for his recent release, Kingsman: The Secret Service, which is now in theaters. He said that the “Kick-Ass” franchise is currently stalled due to the way the last film and he thinks it’s time for a change. Though the idea of a prequel starring Chloe Grace Moretz, who played Hit-Girl in the two films, is not likely as the actress recently turned 18. She was 12 when she filmed the first movie.

Regardless Vaughn said this about his plans for continuing the franchise:

“Do you know what’s going to be next if I do it … we’ve finished plotting it. What we have to do is, we’ve got to do the X-Men: First Class to the Kick-Ass world. We lost a few fans on Kick-Ass 2. It wasn’t as loved as one would’ve hoped.

So we have this idea for a Hit-Girl prequel. It’s a really strong, really simple prequel where I think we can regain the love and the passion. If that happens, I’m pretty sure I can persuade Aaron and Chloe to come back and finish the story of Kick-Asswith Kick-Ass 3.

Mark and I have already plotted Hit-Girl. We have to get the script done next. It’s so far out there, you have no idea.”

Hit-Girl was the most popular character of the franchise and would likely be the reason another movie would be given a greenlight despite Kick-Ass 2 not faring well in the box office.

Vaughn also revealed he would not return to direct the series.

Executive producer Jeffrey Bell said,

“Sif has no idea who Thor is or that she serves a king, and we’re going to have fun with that. It’ll give us some much-needed humor in a season that’s been full of betrayal and death. Sif can’t even recall who she came here from Asgard to stop, but Agent Coulson [Clark Gregg] and his team will try to help her figure all that out…We’ve been dealing a lot with space aliens and Inhumans in our last few episodes—things our Earth-bound heroes just don’t know much about. They need help understanding what’s really going on. Sif’s memory—what’s left of it—will come in very handy.”

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is set to return on March 3. It is rumored that Lady Sif will appear in the episode titled “Thor: Ragnarok” though it has not been confirm by ABC or Marvel.

Deadpool is finally beginning shooting this March. After years of fans pleading for this movie to become a reality, our desires are becoming a reality. The film will be shooting in Vancouver, the hometown of star Ryan Reynolds.

Fans have wanted this film since 2009 when Reynolds first played Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Then it was seriously pleaded for even harder when the test footage for a Deadpool movie was leaked online. Obviously the studio heard the overwhelming response from fans because shortly after it was announced they would bring the movie into development.

The character of Deadpool is known for being more of an adult oriented character. His comic books are of a darker shade compared to other supers especially that of the Marvel world. He is known for breaking the fourth wall and being overly talkative, and often sarcastic. The question is now whether the film Deadpool film will end up being R-rated. It is likely that the theatrical cut would be PG-13 but possible they could release a special R-rated director’s cut once it is released on DVD and Blu-ray.

Casting rumors have T.J. Miller (Silicon Valley) and Ed Skrein (Game of Thrones) in talks to star in supporting roles.

Tim Miller is signed on to direct. Deadpool is expected to hit theaters Feb. 12, 2016.
