Disney Being Sued By A Nun Over 'Sister Act'

It's a lawsuit over twenty years in the making. Delois Blakley recently sued Disney, claiming her 1987 autobiography, The Harlem Street Nun, was the basis for Disney's hit movie "Sister Act" and the theater production that followed.

The same year her book came out, Blakely reportedly wrote a synopsis of the story which she sent out to the movie industry, including a producer at Tri-Star Pictures. She claims that Tri-Star expressed interest in movie rights to the story, and that another producer took the project from Tri-Star to Disney. "Sister Act" was then made.

Movie Buzz: Disney Developing Detective Movie

For those of you who like Disney and to watch detectives at work on the big screen, you're in luck. Looks like Disney has acquired an untitled project that will feature a reluctant female detective.

The project is to be penned by Ashley Bradley, a relatively unknown and untried screenwriter. Marc Guggenheim, best known for co-writing "The Green Lantern," is also on board as producer as part of Collider Entertainment.

Collider Entertainment was launched at last year's Comi-Con; this is the first project on tap at a studio for that fledgling company.

"Lone Ranger" Back in the Saddle

It was off, and now it could be on. We're talking, of course, about the Johnny Depp/ Disney collaboration "The Lone Ranger."

Back in August, Disney halted production on the movie over budget issues. Sources are now saying these issues look to be resolved soon which means a crew can be rehired so production can start early in 2012.
