While actor-turned-director Affleck will helm and his younger brother Casey is also set to co-star. STORY: Matt Damon to Direct Warner Bros. Dama He Co-Wrote With John Krasinski Both men have been vocal about their desire to work together over the years (they head up the Warners-based Pear Street Films together), but always blamed scheduling conflicts. But, last year they signed a first-look deal with Warners and the ball quickly got rolling. And, now, it's expected to gain momentum as there are a few Bulger projects already in the works STORY: Ben Affleck's 'Argo' Set to Open Sept. 14, 2012 "There are a couple of competing movies and I don't think it's been announced yet that we're doing it," Damon told GQ. "But the sooner it's announced the better, just because everyone else will back off, hopefully. I'm really excited about it." Though, the film's trajectory has yet to be completely set. Damon says he doesn't yet know if he'll be playing the young version of Bulger."If it's a straight biopic, we'll do it over a period of time.

In 2004, Damon told MTV, "It's something we talk about every time we see each other," adding "It's been about seven years that we've both been working consistently.

I can't believe I'm old enough to say I've had a friend for 30 years," he told The Daily Mail in Feb. "But he is a friend, and a partner in a company we have together. He saw The Town in five different versions and each time he saw it he presented me with pages and pages of very smart notes. I've got to a stage in life where I have learnt who my real friends are. You don't need many, you just need good, solid friends." Related Topics Ben Affleck Casey Affleck Matt Damon Warner Bros. The Town

Electronic Media: Parents Advised To Limit Exposure For Children Under 2

Study: Fast-Paced Cartoons Not Good For Children’ Brains – Sorry SpongeBob As much as 90% of kids younger than 2 are uncovered to some type of electronic media every single day, and American Academy of Pediatric medicine states these children are best participating in unstructured play some time and getting together with other humans — not media screens — and also at this age they're already watching around two hrs each day. TV that's on without anyone's knowledge can also be harmful, based on the policy statement. The pediatricians group first released tips about media use for kids under age 2 in 1999, basically discouraging TV viewing. More is famous today about kids early brain development and also the how to make them learn. One of the pediatricians’ conclusions: Unstructured play time is much more valuable for that developing brain than electronic media. Children learn how to think artistically, problem solve, and develop reasoning and motor abilities at early age range through unstructured, unplugged play. Free play also shows them how you can entertain themselves. Parents who watch television or videos using their child may increase the children's understanding, but children find out more from live presentations than from public ones. So-known as “educational television” isn’t as advantageous as a parent may believe it is. Many video programs for infants and small children are promoted as educational, yet evidence doesn't support this. Youthful children learn best fromand needinteraction with humans, not screens. When parents are watching their very own programs, this really is background media for his or her children. It throws parents and decreases parent-child interaction. Its presence could also hinder a youthful children's gaining knowledge from play and activities. Television viewing around bed time may cause poor sleep habits and irregular sleep agendas, which could negatively affect mood, behavior and learning.

Apple Stock Takes Hit As 4Q Misses Targets; iPhone Sales Take Brunt Of Blame

Sluggish sales of iPhones during Apple’s fourth quarter contributed to revenue that was up more than 39% year-over-year at $28.27 billion but missed analysts’ estimates. Earnings per share were $7.05, less than Wall Street’s $7.39 target — the first time the company has missed EPS estimates, or any estimates, for that matter, in seemingly forever (OK, since 2004). The company reported after the bell this afternoon, and the stock was down as much as 7% after hours before rebounding slightly. (At least one analyst predicted such a drop.) Shares of Apple had risen to a new high, $422, on Friday. Sales of iPods, iPads and computers came in mostly as predicted, leading some to believe that the lower-than-expected iPhone number — 17.07 million units — owed to consumers (and maybe even Apple) holding back on buying and supplying iPhone 4s in favor of waiting for the new iPhone 4S, which new CEO Tim Cook introduced in his first public appearance the day before the death of company co-founder Steve Jobs. That should be considered a possibility, especially considering that Apple offered better-than-expected guidance for the first quarter.

As the legal teams involved in the Conrad Murray manslaughter trial begin to sift through the grisly details of Michael Jackson's death, HLN is giving the trial the Casey Anthony treatment.HLN has promised "gavel-to-gavel" coverage of the trial, which began last Tuesday and is expected to take four to six weeks before a verdict is rendered. And HLN is not the only outlet capitalizing on the trial: Fox Television Stations created a smartphone/tablet app that streams live coverage from its O&O KTTV in Los Angeles -- a program that outpaced all the other paid news apps in the Apple store within 24 hours of its launch.The major broadcast nets are offering live streaming of the trial on their websites.

HLN saw a ratings spike last week, with its total viewer average climbing from 97,000 on Tuesday to 145,000 on Wednesday -- compared with a recent average of 32,000 before the trial began.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Full Movie

Mad Fashion: TV Review

After nine seasons of Project Runway's tried and true weekly elimination formula, viewers may be excused for occasionally craving a change of pace from the fashion brand that has championed a "one day you're out" competition format. But while the wildly popular show has made bona fide television stars out of mentor Tim Gunn and judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, few of the many contestants whose designs have graced the runway -- save for season four winner, Christian Siriano-- have seemed worthy of spin-off experimentation. One other exception to that rule, however, is Chris March, the flamboyant, amiable season four also-ran whose creations routinely ignored Kors' obsession with more conservative sportswear and separates, and Garcia's tasteful, editorial rebukes. Unlike so many of Runway's forgettable contestants who promise new beginnings upon elimination from the show, March parlayed his third-runner-up finish into Chris March Designs, a no-holds-barred embrace of his Beach Blanket Babylon-inspired aesthetic that sometimes proved too over-the-top for the adventurous Heidi Klum. On Mad Fashion, Bravo's new series constructed around March's new business venture, the fan favorite is given creative license by his female clients to produce clothing that is perhaps better suited for the drag queens of Coney Island's Mermaid Parade than for the women who regularly shop at Saks Fifth Avenue. In the premiere episode, that means creating a show-stopping ensemble for NY shoe designer Ruthie Davis to wear at a preview of her new line. Meeting with his new client at her apartment to discuss the concept for the get up, March immediately seizes on a design idea. "Would you like the idea of having some shoes on your outfit?" March asks. "Some actual shoes?" Davis fears that such a literal motif "could look cliché," but gives March the green light to see what he can come up with. "I don't want to design something that everybody else would do," March says before heading back to his studio in the old Lord & Taylor building in Manhattan's Flatiron District. "I want to design something that's bigger or better or funnier or more beautiful." In the absence of a whole lot of actual dramatic tension, executive producers Matt Westmore (Beauty and the Geek, The Biggest Loser) and Noah Scheinmann (Hired) rightly bet March's fertile imagination and snide sense of humor will keep viewers entertained. When one of March's assistants complains about developing a blister on his finger while cutting strips of tough fabric, March quips, "Do you know how many homeless gay people would be happy to cut up glitter canvass?" And in a hilarious aside squeezed in during a commercial break, March pulls out a blue Sharpie for a solemn moment. "I've been fascinated with Stevie Nicks for a long, long time," he explains with his staff assembled behind him. "I've written 'Stevie Nicks' inside everything I've made for the past 20 years. It blesses everything we make." In other words, if you're looking for fashion's quirky flipside of Project Runway's "go, go, go" cutthroat ambition, Mad Fashion is your show. March is completely at ease with himself and his aesthetic, and the worst that can happen here would be to deliver an outfit that misses the mark for his eccentric clientele. As March gleefully orders one of his team to drill and saw through thousands of dollars worth of Davis' stiletto heels, even that prospect doesn't seem all that troubling. "She might think it's too crazy," March says. "If she does, she's wrong." Bravo Project Runway
