Bradley Whitford (“The West Wing”) and Neve Campbell are set to star in “Burn Up,” a four-hour global-warming thriller from scribe Simon Beaufoy (The Full Monty) and director Omar Madha (“MI5″).
U.S.-based Alchemy Television is distributing the project globally and is already talking to American networks about acquiring the two-parter, which comes from Kudos Film and Television and Seven24 Films. BBC2 and Global Television will air it in England and Canada, respectively.
In addition to Whitford and Campbell, British actor Rupert Penry-Jones (Casanova) is set to star in “Burn Up.” He’ll play the head of a fictional oil company whose life comes apart as he’s pulled into a global game of intrigue. Campbell will play an oil company staffer who’s secretly working with environmentalists, while Whitford will appear as an oil industry lobbyist.

I’d love to see how many zeroes were on the end of the number that the Weinstein’s just showed Wes Craven, because from the sounds of it he’s considering doing a movie he essentially previously ruled out for life: “Scream 4â€.
The horror legend told Bloody Disgusting that he has been contacted about returning to helm a fourth film in the popular horcom (that’s horror/comedy) series.
“Actually, I received a call about that for the first time the other day… obviously, I’ve been asked about that for a long, long time… I think that it’s not completely off the table at this point, as far as the studio making it. I was asked if I’d be interested, but I said it would depend on the script. [Scream 4] isn’t something that’s around the corner or anything, they are now thinking about it.”
Neve Campbell, who played heroine Sidney Prescott in the first three movies, is also believed to be in talks – but so far, they’ve had no luck twisting her arm. [Moviehole]
