Who needs a Dark Knight Rises set visit when you can just go on YouTube? For all of Christopher Nolan's penchant for secrecy, I guess it's hard to have a veil of secrecy in today's digital-cameras-at-our-fingertips society.

Disney, Ben Stiller's Red Hour Turn 'Quantum Hoops' Docu Into Comedy About Caltech Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight
EXCLUSIVE: Disney has acquired remake rights to Quantum Hoops, the 2007 documentary that followed the 2006 Caltech basketball team that had 21 seasons and 245 conference games without a single win, routinely getting walloped by 60 points or more. Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfeld's Red Hour will produce a comedy based on the story of a group of brainiacs--future political and industrial titans--who tried to overcome a lack of athletic skills by getting an exiled NCAA coach to lead their team to what seemed for two decades an impossible dream: one in the W column. The script will be written by Stan Chervin, who was the first writer to adapt Michael Lewis' Moneyball (Chervin emerged from an arbitration with story credit while screen credit on the upcoming Brad Pitt film went to Steve Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin.) Red Hour's Erica Steinberg brought in the project and will be executive producer along with Brian Truman, Jeremy Platt and the docu director, Rick Greenwald. ICM brokered the rights deal to documentary and repped Chervin.

His debut was the award-winning immigration drama Sin Nombre, that they accompanied using the adaptation of Emily Bronte's Eyre, a period of time social drama. Fukunaga is repped by WME, Anonymous Content and Lichter Grossman Nichols Adler & Feldman. Peter Cramer and Sara Scott are managing the work for the studio.
