Harrison Ford in Paramount Pictures' 'Morning Glory'

It’s official: Harrison Ford is signed on to the long-awaited sequel to a much-loved movie classic.

No, not that one … at least not yet.

Steven Spielberg may the most famous filmmaker alive, but he has heroes just like anyone else. For proof, look no further than his next project, resurrecting a long-abandoned project by a great director he idolizes.

In an interview for French television broadcast over the weekend, Spielberg announced he’s working on a television miniseries on the life of the French leader Napoleon. The twist is that his source material will be a screenplay the late Stanley Kubrick wrote for a grand-scale biopic.

That's when Oliwia Dabrowska portrayed Red Genia in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning "Schindler's List." Fast-forward 20 years later, and now Dabrowska has revealed she was quite distressed the first time she saw her historic role in the Holocaust drama -- one in which she is depicted as having died at the hands of Nazis.

Dabrowska famously played the girl in the red coat, the only splash of color in the otherwise black-and-white film. During a pivotal emotional turning point of the historical drama, a shocked and repelled Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) spots the girl's red coat. She appears to have been killed. Schindler is then spurred into action, to save more than 1,000 Jews from sure death in Nazi concentration camps.

There is no "The Legend Ends" when there's money to be made ... and "The Avengers" to challenge.

Hot on the heels of rumors that Warner Bros. has scrapped Will Beall's "Justice League" script and is starting the project over from scratch comes word that the film is still very much a high priority at the studio -- and that "from scratch" might mean bringing in a tried and true superhero duo to make it work in time to take on "The Avengers 2" in Summer 2015 (and, in theory, "Star Wars: Episode VII," though we all know that J.J. Abrams, who took four years to make a "Star Trek" sequel, won't have it ready by then, right?).

With two solo movies and a worldwide smash team-up flick under his belt as the armored Avenger, you’d think Robert Downey Jr. would have the whole being a superhero thing down pat. But even while shooting this summer’s “Iron Man 3,” there was still one part of the process that tested his endurance and his patience.

That would be what Downey likes to call his “irritation therapy.”

We don't mean to cause an existential crisis for any children of the '80s out there, but we felt it was worth noting that Daniel is now as old as Mr. Miyagi was upon the release of "The Karate Kid" (1984).

Yeah, a tweet made today by Roadside Attractions pointed out that Ralph Macchio is 51 ... and so was Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita, once upon a time, even though his infinite wit and wisdom made him seem like he was at least a thousand years old.
