The middleman in the TV business is about to feel the threat of an up and comer. Media center maker Boxee finally starts shipping the Boxee Box by D-Link a couple weeks ago and the two are hosting a big shindig in New York to celebrate. Boxee has also struck a partnership with online video platform Ooyala to give publishers a way distribute and monetize HTTP-formatted TV content to the device using its Backlot TV video solution. This means that indie programmers will now have an easy way to get their shows seen on television either for free with ads, as a subscription or as PPV offerings. The system operates a full paywall with TV Everywhere-style authentication that is seamless for the producer. Now at $200, the Boxee Box is not going to exactly fly off the shelves. And it's just one of a dozen devices designed to bring broadband content to your home set; even Apple has yet to drag its Apple TV box beyond the "hobby" stage. But consider the Boxee Box an important evolutionary step that will reignite much enthusiasm among indie producers and tech-savvy early adopters. Boxee, which counts about 1.4 million PC and Mac users today, sees its brightest future in having its software pre-installed on broadband-connected TVs, Blu-ray players and game consoles. If it can manage to become as ubiquitous as, say, the Netflix streaming app, things could get interesting. The United Football League (UFL) is the first Ooyala publisher to begin "boxcasting," distributing a full slate of league games through a UFL Boxee app.

Lionsgate has kicked off its campaign in its battle against Carl Icahn, urging shareholders to back the minimajor’s slate for the board of directors. The shareholders meeting has been set for Dec. 14 in Los Angeles with Lionsgate asked shareholders to approve its slate of 12 nominees. Icahn, who owns 33% of Lionsgate, has put up five nominees — including veteran film exec Chris McGurk — and asserted that the current board hasn’t improved shareholder value.

Guess Who Will Be Hosting the Oscars? It’s Anne Hathaway and James Franco!
In an unconventional bit of casting, James Franco and Anne Hathaway have been selected to co-host the 83rd Academy Awards. Oscar telecast producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer announced the choice Monday. While the Oscar broadcast has been most often turned to a stand-up comedian, the show has occasionally reached out to a wider range of performers: The 59th Awards, in 1987, for example, were hosted by Chevy Chase along with Goldie Hawn and Australia’s Paul Hogan. Both Franco and Hathaway have made previous appearances on the Oscars. Hathaway joined host Hugh Jackman for a song-and-dance number two years ago, and Franco, who has shown off his hosting skills on “Saturday Night Live,” has appeared as a presenter.

Fox Sues Aspiring Screenwriter for Posting Scripts Online
Twentieth Century Fox is taking aggressive steps to keep its movie and TV scripts off of the Internet. The studio has filed a lawsuit alleging roughly $15 million in damages against a New York woman, Patricia McIlvaine, who is said to have put up roughly 100 scripts online without authorization. On her personal website, McIlvaine describes herself as a “struggling screenwriter who sells flowers over the phone by day and writes scripts by night.” She says she collected scripts that were already posted on the web and made a free online library of scripts in order to assist other screenwriters. She’s already soliciting donations for a legal defense fund.

This site (with the tagline: fuel for your digital life) purports to be the first site to combine a social network with a multi-platform app store, profiling applications for all manner of smartphones, tablet devices, eBook readers and social networks (well, Facebook and Twitter, anyway.) The site offers open reviews, chatting and member profiles along with Foursquare-style badges and profiles to reward frequent contributors. The site, enabled by cloud computing and global payment platforms, maintains its own virtual currency, "App Credits", that you can use to buy apps, ringtones, etc. The idea has merit if it can help worthy apps get noticed, but involving a middleman in app purchases (for real money) is not always comforting.

Today’s Most Shocking Story: Lohan Dropped From Lovelace Bio Pic
“Inferno” director Matthew Wilder is moving ahead with his biopic of porn star Linda Lovelace without actress Lindsay Lohan in the lead role. “We are withdrawing our offer from Lindsay Lohan,” Wilder said. “We are currently in negotiations (with another actress) and working out the legalities of bringing her on board.” Ultimately Wilder said the issue came down to “the impossibility” of insuring the actress “and some other issues.” Lohan has been in and out of jail and rehab over the past year and is currently living at a sober living facility in Rancho Mirage, Calif. The actress’ replacement is expected to be announced shortly.

“Zombieland” Writers About to Add “Director” to Resumé
Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick must be obsessed with the dead. The writers, who made a killing with “Zombieland,” have become attached to make their directorial debut with the comedy “Doc and Howie,” which Montecito Picture Co. is producing. TV writer-producer Steve Leff penned the original screenplay, which landed in the top dozen “most liked” reads on last year’s screenwriter Black List under its original title, “Doc and Howie Whack a Granny.” Montecito hopes to start production by early summer. The film is likely to be released by Paramount, where Montecito has its first-look deal. In the story, described as being in the tone of “Harold and Kumar,” the title characters accidentally kill an elderly woman when they neglect to help her carry her groceries up the stairs. In a fortuitous twist, the incident brings them into contact with the woman’s hot granddaughters, and they struggle with the dilemma of whether to tell the women the truth.

No Liam Neeson? No Problem! Day-Lewis In as Spielberg’s “Lincoln”
Though Steven Spielberg’s Abraham Lincoln biopic had been delayed for the past couple of years, with Liam Neeson originally slated to play the 16th President of the United States before eventually dropping out because, as he suggested, “I’m past my sell-by date,” it looks like things have finally turned around with today’s announcement that Daniel Day-Lewis has signed on to play Lincoln in a film that will “focus on the political collision of Lincoln and the powerful men of his cabinet on the road to abolition and the end of the Civil War.” The plan right now is to begin filming late next year for a release during awards season in 2012.

Leo’s Getting His Conspiracy On With JFK Thriller
Leonardo DiCaprio will star in and produce the feature “Legacy of Secrecy,” based on the book about the John F. Kennedy assassination by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann. DiCaprio will produce through his Warner Bros.-based Appian Way banner with his father, George, who brought the book to his son’s attention. Warners is eyeing a possible 2013 release of “Legacy of Secrecy” coinciding with the 50th anni of President Kennedy’s assassination. DiCaprio is expected to play FBI informant Jack Van Laningham. The book — whose full title is “Legacy of Secrecy: The Long Shadow of the JFK Assassination” — asserts that Mafia godfather Carlos Marcello confessed to Van Laningham to having ordered JFK’s assassination. As part of a dangerous and long-secret undercover operation, the FBI positioned Van Laningham to become confidant to Marcello, who ruled organized crime in Louisiana and most of Texas for decades.

Brad Pitt Wants To Bring Chilean Miners Ordeal to the Big Screen
There’s something about people being trapped underground that brings in audiences in droves. When baby Jessica fell into that drain pipe in 1987 and spent over two days caught inside, everyone was glued to their sets to see if she would be freed. Just two years later, they all saw the whole story fictionalized for a television movie with Beau Bridges, Roxana Zal and Will Oldham. Now we’ve got the Chilean miners, who are a group of men that were recently trapped underground after part of their mine collapsed, managing to survive for a stunning 69 days before they were rescued. Being an impressive story — and one where everyone happened to live, which is a nice, happy-ending bonus — Brad Pitt and his Plan B Entertainment are eager to bring the story to the big screen. According to reports, Pitt’s shingle is in talks to buy the rights to the story, and that some of the miners might be negotiating roles for themselves in the production. A lawyer representing the miners has stated that the 33 miners have been swamped with proposals for their story, and that Pitt has entered the fray with a multi million-dollar offer after visiting the country on a few occasions. It looks like they are interested in Pitt’s proposal, though they want to form a holding company so that the pay is equally distributed amongst each of them.

Disney has already turned theme park attractions into movies such as “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Haunted Mansion.” Now it’s one step closer to turning the entire park into the basis of a movie. Jon Favreau is set to direct “Magic Kingdom,” Disney’s project centered around the Disneyland theme park in which attractions and characters come to life. The deal is a development pact for Favreau and the studio, which will now take steps to find a writer to reshape the original script by “Battlestar Galactica” showrunner Ron Moore. Whether it becomes Favreau’s next movie will depend on the script’s development, although the director, who is in post on next summer’s “Cowboys & Aliens, doesn’t have anything officially slotted. Among his other projects in development are “Me and My Monster” and “Johnny Zero,” both set up at Columbia. Strike Entertainment Marc Abraham and Eric Newman are producing “Kingdom.”

Hancock to Helm “Boy Genius”
Disney hasn’t been shy in saying that “The Blind Side” should have been made by the Mouse House. Since the feel good football drama scored a touchdown at the box office, the studio has locked down Gil Netter, one of the pic’s producers to a first-look deal, and has now hired its helmer, John Lee Hancock, to direct “Electric Boy Genius.” The deal is the latest sign of how Disney is aggressively zeroing in on talent it wants to work with, since Rich Ross and Sean Bailey took over the studio. In addition to launching more Marvel superheroes, adding DreamWorks pics to the pipeline, and bringing back the Muppets, it’s tapped Tim Burton, Sam Raimi, Guillermo del Toro, David Fincher and Robert Downey Jr., among others, to shepherd or headline high-profile projects. Doug Wright (”Quills”) is penning the script for “Electric Boy Genius,” based on a GQ article, published in 2002, that profiles Ryan Patterson, a wunderkind of electricity who won the Intl. Science and Engineering Fair in 2001. Andrew Corsello wrote the story.

MGM has filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York a financial-reorganization plan naming Spyglass Entertainment co-toppers Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum as co-CEOs of the Century City studio. The “prepackaged†Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan was approved last week by more than 100 MGM lenders, who agreed to swap $4 billion in debt holdings for a collective 99% stake in the Century City studio. The final terms contain certain changes demanded by investor Carl Icahn, a big MGM debtholder. Court review of the plan is expected to take 30 days. Icahn will end up with a sizable stake once his $400 million-plus in Lion debt is converted to equity. He also had been backing a rival MGM restructuring plan involving a proposed merger of MGM and Lionsgate, in which he also is a major investor with a stake of abut 30%.
