A Writer's Life: Spy News: "Variety reports the very good news that Steven Spielberg's next movie might be a new adaptation of Donald Hamilton's MATT HELM books. The Paramount project has been in development at various studios for decades, but apparently a script by A-list screenwriter Paul Attanasio that's closer to Matt Damon's BOURNE IDENTITY than Dean Martin's campy 1960s Matt Helm movies has everybody excited."
And in other news (also via Lee Goldberg): A Writer's Life: ROCKFORD Revived: "Variety reports that HOUSE creator/showrunner David Shore has been tapped by NBC/Universal and Steve Carrell's production company to revive Stephen J. Cannell's THE ROCKFORD FILES. It's no surprise that they approached Shore for the coveted gig...he's a TV A-lister who tried to spin-off a Rockf0rd-esque character from HOUSE last season."

A new Jim Rockford? Talk about a hard act to follow...
I agree with Gerard about the Rockford actor. Tough.
I am happy about the Matt Helm post. Nearly anything would be better than the Dean Martin versions. Nothing personal against Martin, but that was NOT Matt Helm.
I always pictured James Garner showing up on 'Bones' as Booth's grandfather (with whom Booth had a good relationship, unlike with his father). So I guess I could see David Boreanaz working out as a Rockford, Jr. But of course, he's a bit busy.....
