New, and old, Rolling Stones documentaries out this fall

Celebrating the band's 50th year, two Rolling Stones films are on the way. A new documentary, "Crossfire Hurricane" is slated for October/November theatrical release and follows the band from its early days through the present.

"Charlie is My Darling," meanwhile is a tour/concert film shot in 1965 and spottily released in theaters the following year. The film was released on DVD a few years back, but a spruced up version is now set for release everywhere on DVD and BluRay in November. A "super deluxe" version reportedly will include a soundtrack on CD and LP. Stay tuned for more details.

Joss Whedon-helmed S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series in development for ABC

Well, this could be pretty cool:
ABC has ordered a pilot for S.H.I.E.L.D, a live-action series from The Avengers writer-director Joss Whedon, Marvel TV and ABC Studios.

The project is based on Marvel’s peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D (which stands for Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate or Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) found in both the Marvel comic book and feature film universes, including the blockbuster 2012 movie The Avengers, in which S.H.I.E.L.D director Nick Fury, recruits Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, and Thor to stop Thor’s adoptive brother Loki from subjugating Earth.

...S.H.I.E.L.D. will be written by Whedon and frequent collaborators, his brother Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen. Joss Whedon also is set to direct the pilot, schedule permitting. Production on the pilot, which marks the first live-action Marvel TV project to get a green light, will start immediately.
