The show that unites superheroes Jessica Jones, Luka Cage, Daredevil and Iron Fist premieres next month. Sigourney Weaver plays the villain.

NEW YORK (AP) — A 1980s movie that starred Melanie Griffith as a secretary who breaks out of the typing pool is heading to the stage as a musical. Cyndi Lauper will write the songs for the "Working Girl" adaptation.

Producers Fox Stage Productions and Aged In Wood Productions said Tuesday they'll adapt the Mike Nichols-directed film for Broadway, with "Kinky Boots" composer Lauper teaming up with "New Girl" writer and "Tigers Be Still" playwright Kim Rosenstock on the story.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Modern movie culture would have you believe artificial intelligence is out to kill us all.

In "2001: A Space Odyssey," Hal, the AI computer aboard a space flight to Jupiter, develops a mind of its own and turns against the crew. "The Terminator" makes his mission clear in the movie's title. Ava, the pretty-faced android in "Ex Machina," has a killer instinct. David, the pretty-faced android in "Prometheus," also doesn't have the best intentions for human survival.

HILLSBORO, Ohio (AP) — A local newspaper called it this little Ohio city's "lost year."

It was a year of subpoenas, search warrants, depositions and whispers. Hillsboro's mayor, a standup comedian long before he became a politician, was the focus of it all.

Drew Hastings, who has appeared on Comedy Central and "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno, dubbed it "The Year of Living Strangerously," playing off the 1982 Mel Gibson-Sigourney Weaver movie "The Year of Living Dangerously."

Arevalo, 37, shared the screenplay award Saturday night with David Pulido for co-writing the dark thriller.

TORONTO (AP) — A movie has a way of sitting up straight whenever Sigourney Weaver is in it. Whether the part is small or large, she reliably jolts any film alive with her intelligence and commanding presence. She usually means business.

That, of course, has been apparent since her breakthrough role as Ellen Ripley in "Alien." But it's no less true of Weaver at 67. She has an almost queen-like status on today's movie landscape, particularly in science-fiction.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on Bill Murray being honored at the Kennedy Center (all times local):

10:43 p.m.

Bill Murray accepted a bust of Mark Twain for his lifetime achievement in comedy — and immediately handed it to the audience to be passed around.

Murray was honored Sunday night at the Kennedy Center by more than a dozen of his co-stars and collaborators, including David Letterman, Sigourney Weaver and his older brother, Brian Doyle-Murray.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Emma Stone and Jane Curtin are late additions to the lineup of performers who'll celebrate Bill Murray when he receives the nation's top prize for humor.

The Kennedy Center announced Tuesday that Stone and Curtin will take the stage in honor of Murray on Sunday night. Murray is this year's recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Sigourney Weaver apparently isn't finished fighting aliens.

The original star of the "Alien" film franchise says she's hopeful about reprising her role as tough-as-nails survivor Ellen Ripley in another sequel.

Weaver told the Comic-Con crowd during a Saturday panel celebrating the 30th anniversary of the sci-fi sequel "Aliens" that "District 9" filmmaker Neill Blomkamp pitched her an idea for another installment when they were working together on...
