In an onstage Q & A, Mistry says he'll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.

Christina Aguilera in Burlesque

Christina Aguilera will make her screen debut for Screen Gems in Burlesque (2009), a contemporary musical that Steven Antin will direct. Antin wrote a script that was revised by Erin Brockovich scribe Susannah Grant. Aguilera will play an ambitious smalltown girl with a big voice who finds love, family and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club that appears to be right out of Bob Fosse's Cabaret (1972). Donald De Line will produce. Pic will shoot late this year.
