Here is your dose of film news for July 13, 2009:

• Edgar Wright is currently busy shooting "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," but the big question is: what will the filmmaker be working on next? Well, according to Empire, Wright will try to make "Baby Driver." He said, "Probably because it’s not an adaptation or anything, or a sequel to anything else. I’d like to just make it in private, basically." Of course, this means his "Ant-Man" flick will be delayed for a while.

• The 1960s TV series "The Big Valley" will be heading to the big screen soon, with Daniel Adams directing his own script. The original series starred Barbara Stanwyck as the matriarch of a wealthy family in 19th-century Stockton, Calif. Adams' directorial credits also include "The Golden Boys" and the upcoming "The Lightkeepers." (Variety)
