United Artists and Lakeshore Entertainment have set “24″ co-creator-exec producer Joel Surnow to develop a contemporary spy thriller that will be directed by “Casino Royale” helmer Martin Campbell. Surnow will write the film with Michael Loceff, a “24″ co-exec producer. UA, which is run by Paula Wagner and partially owned by Tom Cruise, has made it a priority to find a commercially viable franchise for Cruise, though the studio wouldn’t confirm whether the Surnow/Campbell project was specifically designed for the “Mission: Impossible” star.{nl} Lakeshore’s Gary Lucchesi and Tom Rosenberg will produce. Surnow also developed and exec produced “La Femme Nikita,” which ran from 1997-2001, and served as producer or wrote episodes for “The Equalizer,” “Miami Vice,” “Nowhere Man” and “Wiseguy.” “This is an original concept that both UA and I feel will have an impact creatively and commercially,” Surnow said. The new project gives UA two plum commercial projects, the other being “Champions,” an adaptation of the ’60s British TV adventure series that had Guillermo del Toro attached. The helmer will likely have to be replaced, after committing to four years in New Zealand making two films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit.” UA parent MGM shares “The Hobbit” with New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. {nl}Source:  Variety{nl} {nl}

Today is a VERY special day for us because we celebrate our third anniversary online!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!! We wanna thank all the fans for visiting us every day. Forever was born three years ago with the goal of being a totally different site dedicated to Tom. I think we’ve made it as we’re the sweetest site dedicated to Tom We begin this fourth year with a lot of illusion preparing new things. So, stay tuned!!

Talking to Eddie Izzard feels a lot like watching him careen through one of his routines: he is free-associative, tangential and often brilliant. Americans who only know Izzard as Wayne Mollow, the con-artist family man who could suave the spots off a leopard, on FX’s “The Riches” are about to see a lot more of him. This month he takes his new stand-up act on the road in his nationwide tour, “Stripped.” He has also just finished shooting “Valkyrie,” a biopic starring Tom Cruise as Claus von Stauffenberg, the Nazi officer who led a failed plot to kill HItler, and he is lending his voice to “Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.” NEWSWEEK’s Brian Braiker caught up with Izzard, the funniest transvestite alive, to discuss, in no particular order: his new act, Wikipedia, God, sharks, cross-dressing, Nazis and Tom Cruise. How was it like working on “Valkyrie”? It was great. They’ve delayed it again coming out. Two people I know have seen it and really like what they saw. Did you see any of the back and forth between Tom Cruise and the German government over Scientology ? Yeah, I was there for that. You could see why the Germans were saying what they said, and you could see why Tom was saying what he said. It got to a place where everyone sort of calmed down and we could go and film. And they did film the execution of Stauffenberg and three other officers in the place where he was shot. It’s a good story for Germany to get out. I’m very positive about the Germans. They went bats–t crazy for 12 years, but all these kids are running the gig now. All the other countries
