Last week, Relativity Media announced big news on The Crow – which just found a new director and writer in F. Javier Gutierrez and Jesse Wigutow – and Timeless, an action-drama starring Liam Hemsworth and directed by Phillip Noyce.  Now, the distributor has kicked off a new week with big news.  Relativity is teaming up with Hasbro to create a Stretch Armstrong feature film based on the squishy elastic action figure first produced in 1976.

Last summer, Chris Hemsworth entered the American cultural consciousness as the title character in Marvel's Thor, but his younger sibling, Liam Hemsworth, is on track to match or exceed his brother as a bankable movie star here in the States.  Liam Hemsworth is playing romantic co-lead Gale Hawthorne in this spring's The Hunger Games and its inevitable sequels, and he's the youngest rough-and-tumble member of Sylvester Stallone's mercenary team in this summer's The Expendables 2.  Now, he's signed on to show his full dramatic potential in Timeless, an emotional adventure to be directed by Phillip Noyce.

Relativity Media's take on the famous Grimm fairy tale of Snow White now has an official title, after months of being referred to simply as The Untitled Snow White Project.  From the get-go, this film has had a whole lot going for it, including Tarsem Singh, a visionary director perfectly suited to provide a stunning new take on the material, and a cast that includes Lily Collins as Snow White, Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen, Armie Hammer as Prince Andrew Alcott, Sean Bean as the King, and the invaluable Nathan Lane as the servant Brighton.  Now it has a title to match the promise of its director and cast, as Relativity has announced that the film is titled Mirror Mirror, a reference that any fan of the story will immediately recognize.

Reimagining a familiar and enduring fairy tale as a film requires both a novel approach to the story and a distinctive visual style for the screen.  Relativity Media's Untitled Snow White Project cleverly reconfigures the story as a comedic adventure and will certainly have a style all its own thanks to the direction of Tarsem Singh, a peerless visual composer.  The film, which stars Julia Roberts, Lily Collins, and Armie Hammer, is set to begin production in Montreal, Canada on Monday next week, en route to a Spring 2012 release date.

Director Tarsem Singh is a proven creator of powerful, meticulously detailed images and worlds, so it's a given that his as-yet untitled take on Snow White will be a fresh, singular take on a beloved fairy tale.  The film won't have to rely exclusively on its visuals, however, as Singh has gathered a dynamic cast, fronted by Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen, Lily Collins as Snow White herself, and Armie Hammer as Prince Alcott.  Now, Relativity Media has announced that Nathan Lane and Robert Emms will play supporting roles in the Snow White reimagining.

What has recently been nicknamed as the "Relativity Bill," could end up being passed tonight, which would set the stage for a major expansion of film and television production in the "aloha state."

If passed, the bill would increase tax credits for shooting in Hawaii substantially, and lead to the construction of two separate $200 million production complexes in the 50th state led by Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media and Steve Bing's Shangri-La Business Group. Watch the two videos below about the film incentive program and hear celebrities like Bradley Cooper, Ashley Tisdale and Adrien Brody say, "Aloha" to the bill.

Relativity Media’s Rogue and AMC Theatres announced today that Sean Kirkpatrick’s Cost of a Soul is the winner of The Big Break Movie Contest. As the winner, Kirkpatrick receives exclusive on-screen distribution courtesy of AMC throughout the United States starting April 15th.

At the New York premiere of Limitless, the new feature starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, and Robert DeNiro,an unusual water-bonding ritual took place between Sir Richard Branson and Ryan Kavanaugh as captured in this cell phone photo.

Last night in New York, the premiere for Relativity Media's latest film, the thought-provoking thriller Limitless starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, and Robert DeNiro, provided all the glamor that you'd expect from a world premiere event.  Of course, there was a cavalcade of famous faces on the red carpet, including the film's stars, as well as Jason Bateman, Russell Simmons, Patricia Clarkson, Alyssa Milano, and even Inside The Actor's Studio host James Lipton, amongst many others.  Also on hand were Relativity founder, CEO, and Limitless producer Ryan Kavanaugh, along with world-renowned British entrepreneur Richard Branson, who also produced through the new film division -- Virgin Produced. 

If 80's nostalgia, hard-partying, skinny ties, car theft, and general hilarity weren't incentive enough to see the new comedy Take Me Home Tonight this weekend, there's now another reason to put your butt in that comfy theater seat.  On Ryan Seacrest's Kiss FM radio show this morning, star/co-writer/producer Topher Grace revealed that executive producer Ryan Kavanaugh will donate 1% of the film's box office gross to former American Idol contestant Chris Medina to cover his medical expenses.
