After I heard that, one of my life/career goals became "To play D&D with Vin Diesel."
Heh, aim really high: "To play D&D with Vin Diesel and Stephen Colbert." Too bad SC is in New York - they could start a Hollywood gaming club (heh, typed gamine at first, of which I'm sure there are plenty), or open a gaming shop a la Joey Pants and his Cigar Store.
John Cusack to star in Steven King movie.
I think it would be a nifty bifurcation of his career if he were to be both the romcom guy

Man do I hate Varietyspeak. Not only do they say stupid shit like "pic will lens this summer," instead of "the film wil begin shooting this summer," these idiot hacks can't even spell 'lens' right:
Pic will lense [sic] this summer. Location is yet to be determined.
"Lense" is an accepted variant of lens.
But... it looks so wrong!

Is it a prescriptive issue? Does anyone have the etymology of the spelling variants?

Oh, for the....
I suppose if the spelling is an acceptable variant, but still....

Either way, they've been making stuff up for a century now.
The actual jargon doesn't bother me. Those words are actually used by people in the craft when speaking about it. I know of no one who uses "pic," "lens," or "ankle," in conversation.

I was wondering about this for the variant spelling, and whether their source for the variant is Variety itself. Which would just make my head explode all over again.
Oh, for the....
Hey, I get crap for my spelling a reasonable amount when I'm not actually wrong, just outside the mainstream. It's a thing. Proactively, "learnt" and "et" are also real spellings.

Which words are "those words"? The link I provided includes lense and ankle. As well as words like biopic that I have heard people use, although the pronunciation seems to be more of an issue than I'd have imagined.

I use all of these, though I suspect my use of the word "ankle" means something else.
