New `Limpet' on the line: Steve Oedekerk will rewrite and direct a remake of ``The Incredible Mr. Limpet'' for Warner Bros. with Jim Carrey to star. He and Odenkerk worked together on 1995's ``Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.'' In the original 1964 film, animation blends with live action as Don Knotts magically becomes a fish and helps the U.S. Navy spot Nazi submarines during World War II. The updated version also will mix live action and animation. ``There's a lot of (computer-generated imagery) stuff in it,'' Oedekerk said. ``The look I want to go for is that the characters look like real fish. There's something wonderful about fish faces; visually, it's a whole other deal. When Jim becomes a fish, it will really become Jim Carrey's face on a fish.''

Joanou, U2 brace for `Entropy': Phil Joanou, whose credits include the documentary ``U2: Rattle and Hum,'' has turned to the band again for inspiration in the autobiographical romantic comedy ``Entropy.'' Joanou will write and direct the $5 million-to-$7 million independent feature, which focuses on the unraveling of a filmmaker's life during a three-month period when he shoots a film with a plot that centers on a U2 concert. The band will appear in ``Entropy,'' performing a concert especially for the production.

Graham forms `Love Triangle': Heather Graham, who gained critical attention as Rollergirl in director Paul Thomas Anderson's ``Boogie Nights,'' has signed on to act for another up-and-coming helmer, Danny Boyle, in Miramax Films' ``Alien Love Triangle.'' Described as a sexy, comedic sci-fi story, the short film, which will be one of three that will make up the complete movie, also has Kenneth Branagh attached to star. Graham will play an alien.

Miramax importing `Mononoke': Miramax Films will create an English-language version of the Japanese animated blockbuster ``Princess Mononoke,'' as its Dimension Films division gives the original film a nationwide release this summer. ``Princess Mononoke,'' directed by leading Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, is the highest-grossing film in Japanese history, with a box office topping $150 million. ``Word of this film's great success and amazing artistry has certainly traveled to all parts of the world now, and we are thrilled to be the ones to present it in the U.S.,'' Miramax Films president Harvey Weinstein said. In reference to plans for the film's English-language remake, Weinstein added, ``with great regard for Mr. Miyazaki, our plan is to maintain the film's unique creative integrity. We plan to personally approach our family of fine actors who have distinguished themselves throughout the years in Miramax films to work as speaking-voice talents.''
