Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2, Superman Returns) has mentioned an interest in picking up the torch (from where it currently lies, sputtering a silent death) and making the next Trek movie. It’s obvious the man knows how to direct Patrick Stewart!

Capote in Kansas
This town is still bleeding. Did you expect them to thank you for ripping off the bandage?
On Saturday, November 15, 1959, Dick Hickocks and Perry Smith entered a Kansas farmhouse and brutally murdered four people whom they’d never met. Truman Capote spent the next six years investigating the story and produced In Cold Blood, the original true crime novel.
Capote in Kansas deals with the crime peripherally; instead, it tells a fictionalized version of Capote’s years of research and writing. In Parks and Samnee’s version, the ghost of one of the victims assists the author.
