By Michael Saba on 3:52 PM on March 13, 2009

Tom Waits' much-lauded b-sides compilation Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards was recently certified gold (500k sales) by the RIAA.

Now the 65-year-old director of Eastern Promises and A History of Violence is on the verge of helming what would be his most mainstream project yet, The Matarese Circle, an adaptation of Bourne Identity author Robert Ludlum’s 1973 novel, with Denzel Washington set to star.... read more

By Christina Hansen on 2:50 PM on March 24, 2008

James Gandolfini, Denzel Washington and John Travolta have signed on to star in the upcoming Columbia Pictures film The Taking of Pelham 123, Variety reports. Action movie aficionado Tony Scott (Top Gun, Man on Fire) will direct the film, which is a remake of the 1978 thriller starring Walter Matthau.
