By Angie Han/Feb. 19, 2015 12:45 pm EST Worth noting is that the premise of the series has been tweaked since the last time we reported on this project. The Devil will now work in law enforcement.

However, the project is both real and moving forward, as a few big actors have just signed up for the heist film....

Does Christopher Nolan Hate Post-Credits Scenes? [UPDATED] By Germain Lussier/Nov. 5, 2014 7:25 am EST As much as Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy helped set the tone for the modern superhero movie, Marvel Studios created the structure for the modern superhero franchise.
