A few weeks back, Disney basically said, "It's not you, it's me," to Joseph Kosinski's Horizons, formerly titled Oblivion, which it acquired in a heated bidding war last summer, well before Kosinski's feature directorial debut Tron Legacy hit theaters.  Since the House of Mickey and Kosinski are going to stay friends, though, Disney allowed to the director to see other studios and shop his ambitious science fiction project around town.  Well, it appears that Horizons may well have found a new squeeze at Universal Studios.

Viggo Mortensen spent weeks in negotiations to join Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron in Universal's Snow White and The Huntsman, but the actor has officially passed on the film, which now finds itself in need of a new Huntsman.  And since Darren Aronofsky departed The Wolverine, Hugh Jackman might just have some free time in his schedule.  At least Universal hopes so, as they've offered the role of the Huntsman to Mr Jackman.

A day spent touring the major studios to pimp his R-rated sci-fi extravaganza Elysium paid off for director Neill Blomkamp, as Sony snatched up distribution rights and will co-finance the flick with Universal.  Sony also distributed Blomkamp’s first film, District 9, which made $210 million worldwide and was nominated for best picture.  Elysium will star Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, and District 9’s Wikus Van De Merwe himself, Sharlto Copley.

Dustin Hoffman will reunite with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro on Little Fockers after all, reports Deadline.com. While the original cut of the film, due out this December, didn't include Hoffman, Universal saw fit to film at least four new scenes featuring the Oscar-winning actor, as well as his on-screen Focker wife, Barbara Streisand.

Carey Mulligan, Oscar-nominee for last year's drama An Education, is negotiating to join Drive, a Universal action thriller co-starring Ryan Gosling. Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad") is also in talks to jump into the passenger's seat.

Ryan Reynolds is emerging as the frontrunner for a coveted role opposite Denzel Washington in the thriller Safe House, from director Daniel Espinoza (Snabba Cash), reports Deadline.com.

This is the project I last told you about in early July. It has the following synopsis: When a group of villains destroy a CIA-operated safe house, the facility's young house-sitter must work to move the criminal who's being hidden there to another secure location.

The cast of Peter Berg's Battleship keeps growing - stranger and stranger that is. Victoria Secret Model/burgeoning actress Brooklyn Decker has joined the alien invasion action epic. The Sports Illustrated cover girl will play along side Rihanna and be the love interest of Taylor Kitsch's lead character. Meanwhile, this is shaping up to be a very random cast. Not an insult to the eclectic group, it's just... well, bizarre.

The writers of The Hangover continue to chug along - pun intended - with 21 and Over, a comedy that looks to mine similar laughs from the dire consequences of getting wasted. Variety reports that Relativity Media (Grown Ups) bought the spec script from Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, although the price tag is unknown.

Pajiba is reporting that Terminator: Salvation director McG is circling an adaptation of the Dark Horse comic R.I.P.D, a supernatural buddy-cop property that has Ryan Reynolds attached to star. McG is currently working on This Means War, which he's been developing for years, and sees R.I.P.D. as an ideal follow-up.

However, the L.A. Times is chiming in with the news that Universal is very eager to put R.I.P.D. on the fast track, and may not want to wait for McG while he prepares War (which has seems its share of problems and delays but looks like it's finally ready to get going); the studio has flirted with Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball) and David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers) for the gig, but neither appear to be the man for the job. The Times notes that McG and the producers have met and are all on the same page, so it's just about scheduling at the moment. The idea is to get cameras rolling at the end of this year/beginning of next, a short window for all involved.
