Darjeeling Limited news: Bill Murray CONFIRMED! Murray will play the father of Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody & Jason Schwartzman. The Darjeeling Limited, which in Anderson's usual quirky style, features talking animals, lost parents and slightly deranged siblings. The brothers believe their father, played by Bill Murray-who went remarkably undiscovered in the two weeks he was shooting in Jodhpur-has been reborn as an albino leopard, and trace their mother to a convent where she teaches poor children.

A Script For 'Trainspotting 2' Has Been Written: Cinematical reports that Irvine Welsh wrote a sequel to Trainspotting, called Porno. And, when IGN recently sat down with director Danny Boyle, they asked him whether he was interested in re-visiting Renton, Spud, Sick Boy and Begbie for another round of insanity. The good news is that Boyle and his gang have been given the rights to the sequel, and John Hodge (who penned the Trainspotting adaptation) has already turned in a very early script.

Forrest Gump Gets A Sequel: Forrest Gump II isn't a new idea, Paramount has been kicking it around since the original movie made a bajillion dollars, and in 2001 they even hired Forrest Gump writer Eric Roth to pen a sequel screenplay. Now that screenplay is being dragged out of development hell for another look by Gump producers Steve Tisch and Wendy Finerman.

Remember that the first Forrest Gump movie was based on a novel by Winston Groom. Roth's sequel script was based on Groom's followup novel, "Gump & Co". "Gump & Co" takes place several years after "Forrest Gump" and finds Forrest's shrimping business failed and Jenny dead, leaving Forrest a single unemployed father. As you'd expect, Gump still stumbles through more important historical events. In this case it's a cavalcade of history from the 80s and 90s. He even meets Tom Hanks.
