So here's a bit of news about the Wolfenstein movie: http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/hunger-games-mockingjay-director-revealed-avary-heads-to-castle-wolfenstein-and-west-readies-heat-remake/
Announced yesterday by Panorama Media and Samuel Hadida, Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction) will write and direct a feature film adaptation of the video game franchise Castle Wolfenstein. The story follows a young US Army Captain and a British Special Agent on a top secret mission to Castle Wolfenstein, where Hitler will be for the unveiling of a new secret weapon. After reaching the Castle, our heroes are confronted with Himmler's SS Paranormal Division and must fight, not only for their survival, but for a mission that could alter the course of the War.
Avary hasn't directed a film that's hit theaters since 2002's The Rules of Attraction, though he did have a hand in the screenplays for 2006's Silent Hill and 2007's Beowulf before he was involved in legal entanglements stemming from manslaughter and DUI charges involving a 2008 accident that occurred while he was driving and resulted in the death of a passenger in his car.
