New news on one of Charlie's two upcoming films - the one about world leaders who "gather to figure out all the seismic events that will take place in the worlds, from oil prices to wars that will be waged." Via Twitch:

Things have been quiet since but Twitch has learned that Warner Brothers have now also come on board. Plot details remain sketchy but Joaquin Phoenix is attached to star and Vincent Landay to produce with a March 2012 start date eyed for production. (Source)

From the same article:

Another high level source is confirming Joaquin Phoenix's attachment to the project, while also raising questions about the current role/involvement of Warner Bros and Kaufman. More information coming as we receive it.

If a kindly soul wants to put on a hat, an overcoat and sunglasses and meet me in a dark alley with a copy of the script, please do drop me a line. (Same goes for Charlie's other script, Frank or Francis.) I should probably get around to making separate pages for both of those projects, otherwise this is going to get chaotic.

Big thanks to Sreehari for the heads up!!
