Here's your dose of film news for April 21, 2009:

• Ron Howard's "Anges & Demons" won't open until May 15, 2009, but Columbia has already announced it will develop "The Lost Symbol," Dan Brown's third novel in the series that started with "The Da Vinci Code." The book will be published Sept. 15. (Variety)

• Demetri Martin, who co-wrote many episodes for "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," will star alongside Brad Pitt in Steven Soderbergh's "Moneyball," a film about Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics. Martin is set to play Paul De Podesta, "a Harvard grad who turned down Wall Street jobs to use his statistical skills to change baseball scouting tactics." (Variety)

• Jamie Chung and Jena Malone are the latest to join Zack Snyder's upcoming "Sucker Punch." Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens and Abbie Cornish co-star. Amanda Seyfried, Evan Rachel Wood and Emma Stone were also in talks to star in the film, but they recently dropped out. (The Hollywood Reporter)

• Marlon Wayans will star in and produce Paramount's upcoming comedy "The Year of Living Biblically," based on A.J. Jacobs' nonfiction book.

Carry Fisher is in negotiations to join Jamie Chung and Audrina Patridge in Summit Entertainment’s “Sorority Row,” a remake of Mark Rosman’s 1983 horror flick “The House on Sorority Row.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Julian Morris, Leah Pipes and Margo Harshman are also on board.

The story focuses on a bunch of sorority sisters who are hunted by a serial killer after trying to cover up the accidental death of one of their friends. Doesn’t part of this plot sound just like “Black Christmas”?

If Fisher ends up joining the project, she would play the house mother. Stewart Hendler is directing the remake.

Let’s quickly take a look at the cast. Fisher is currently onscreen in “The Women.” Jamie Chung appeared in “Samurai Girl” and will soon be seen in “Dragonball,” while Patridge is best known for “The Hills.”

As for Evigan, she’s the lead chick in that stupid “Step Up 2: The Streets” flick. She also recently scored a role in that unnecessary “Donnie Darko” sequel “S. Darko.”

Sorority gals hunted by a killer – I’m so tired of this crap.
