Movie Buzz: Disney Developing Detective Movie

For those of you who like Disney and to watch detectives at work on the big screen, you're in luck. Looks like Disney has acquired an untitled project that will feature a reluctant female detective.

The project is to be penned by Ashley Bradley, a relatively unknown and untried screenwriter. Marc Guggenheim, best known for co-writing "The Green Lantern," is also on board as producer as part of Collider Entertainment.

Collider Entertainment was launched at last year's Comi-Con; this is the first project on tap at a studio for that fledgling company.

'Lion King' Tops Box Weekend Box Office

It was a huge hit when it was released some seventeen years ago, and now it's 3-D version has taken the theaters by storm. "The Lion King" reigned supreme at the box office this past weekend, taking in an estimated $29.3 million.

This amount almost doubles the $15 million Disney had estimated the film to gross and may be attributed partly to the vast majority of "Lion King" audiences opting to check out the 3-D version of the classic film. It's said that 92 percent of the film's viewers elected to buy the pricier 3-D ticket this weekend.

Disney Stops Production on "The Lone Ranger"

Fans of Johnny Depp and Disney movies will have to cross one of their must-see list. Disney has stopped production of "The Lone Ranger" that was set to start filming this fall.

It appears the reason lies behind a disagreement over the budget between Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Disney is said to have had a firm budget for the western in mind while Bruckheimer had a different idea.
