Timeline, Michael Crichton's book that read like a movie, is finally achieving its true purpose -- it's set to be an upcoming movie. Paul Walker from The Fast and the Furious is in it, and Gerard Butler from Dracula 2000 is the lead character. It's about grad students who go back in time to the 14th century to save their professor.

Richard Donner, the director of the Superman movies who was played by Jim Belushi in one of my all-time favorite Saturday Night Live sketches, will direct. So it can't be all bad . . . or can it?
