Tobey Maguire is really making up for lost time. He briefly dropped out of the spotlight after "Spider-Man 3," choosing to focus on family rather than film roles. He's making a return with "Brothers," due out later this year, and has subsequently lined up roles in "The Limit," "Good People" and possibly "Robotech." Of course, there's also that little movie called "Spider-Man 4" on the horizon. While Maguire waits for his enormous pre-production slate to come together, he'll be joining Elizabeth Banks in Jacob Estes' indie black comedy "The Details."

The plot revolves around a young married couple who are struggling with infidelity and a rocky relationship, as well as a pack of hungry raccoons that burrow into their backyard. The bickering couple can't agree on how best to get rid of them, and it creates a terrible chain reaction of events that culminates in someone getting murdered by bow and arrow. Read more...

While he waits for "Spider-Man 4” to get underway, Tobey Maguire has been anything but idle. His production company picked up the rights to "Good People" and a remake of "Robotech," both of which he may take roles in. Now he's getting behind the wheel for "The Limit," a true-life tale of rival Grand Prix drivers.

Maguire will star as Phil Hill, the only American driver to ever win the Formula One World Drivers' Championship, and who went up against his good friend and Ferrari teammate Wolfgang von Trips in the 1961 race. Read more...

These days, Tobey Maguire seems to be in a race with his pal Leonardo DiCaprio as to who can line up the biggest production slate for their respective companies. According to Variety, The Film Department and Maguire Entertainment have obtained the rights to "Good People," the latest crime thriller by Marcus Sakey. It's being developed as a starring vehicle for Maguire, as is the case with all his producing projects.

"Good" centers on a young couple who are deeply in debt after a round of failed fertility treatments. All their problems seem to be solved when they find $400,000 in a deceased tenant's apartment -- but you know money like that just has to have suspicious origins. Their initial excitement is squashed when a drug dealer, a vengeful robber, and a suspicious cop all come looking for the money and the man who hid it. Read more...

First came the ABBA renaissance in "Mamma Mia!", then came love by way of the Beatles in "Across the Universe." Now the 80s will be returning in more ways than remakes. According to Variety, the off-Broadway musical "Rock of Ages" is getting the big screen treatment from New Line -- and Tobey Maguire is set up to be one of several producers under his banner, Maguire Entertainment.

The movie will be written and directed by Chris D'Arienzo, the show's creator. The story takes place in a Sunset Strip club called Rock of Ages, where a man and woman fall in love, but are torn apart by the sex, drugs, and excessive hairspray use of the rocker's life. Actually, I made that last one up, but you know hair products had to have been at the root of a few '80s break-ups. Read more...

It looks like Leonardo DiCaprio isn't the only anime fan with remakes on the brain. Tobey Maguire has jumped into the game with 'Robotech," a live action remake of the classic anime series. Warner Bros snagged the rights in 2007, with Maguire attached as a producer and possibly to star in the lead role.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project is moving forward, hiring "Smallville" writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar to pen the screenplay. Surprisingly, they're replacing Lawrence Kasdan who, as the writer of "Raiders of the Lost Ark," seems incapable of doing wrong by any movie.

"Robotech" was a sprawling epic of a television series, spanning three generations and three different extraterrestrial wars. At its heart, though, it was about giant robots, technology developed thanks technology borrowed from an alien spaceship that crashed in the South Pacific. Just in time for mankind, since the giant robots were needed to fight off an alien invasion -- but despite all that technology, humanity's fate rested in the hands of two young pilots. If Maguire does decide to take a part, he'll likely be one of them, although his involvement with future "Spider-Man" installments could keep him solely behind the camera. Read more...
