Lots of intriguing movie news coming out of Hollywood today:

• Kevin Spacey will star in the indie film Shrink [1] as a depressed therapist who likes to ah, partake of the ganja. (A pot-smoking therapist? That sounds familiar [2].) His clients in the movie will include "Hollywood characters" like Robin Williams, Keke Palmer, Laura Ramsey and Gore Vidal, among others.
• Columbia and Sam Raimi will team up together again after their Spider-Man ventures for yet another adaptation of a Dennis Lehane novel. Lehane's books make excellent screenplays, apparently, as Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone [3] and the upcoming DiCaprio-Scorsese project Shutter Island [4] have all been adapted. Next up, Raimi will direct a film version [5] of The Given Day [6], which follows Boston cops in 1919.
• Speaking of adaptations, the rights to an as-yet-unpublished Stephen King novella Throttle [7] — which he wrote with his son Joe Hill — have already been optioned. The story is about "father-son members of a motorcycle gang that's chased through the desert by an 18-wheel tanker truck." The novella will be a part of a 2009 anthology dedicated to I Am Legend author Richard Matheson.
