In today's Hollywood Ink ... Universal brings Videodrome into the Blu-ray era ... Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt make it official ... Timothy Olyphant to don a 10-gallon-hat and a badge once again ...

· David Cronenberg's technohorror masterpiece Videodrome will get a remake from Universal. The director is prepping The Matarese Circle for MGM, which is supposed to star Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington, but both actors have committed to other projects first. Would that open up his schedule to direct the update? Or is Universal wanting to go in a less "thinky" direction, hoping instead for a McG retelling that involves a brain-eating-iPhone army.

· Maria Bello and Craig T. Nelson have joined Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner and Tommy Lee Jones in the cast of indie-financed The Company Men, written and directed by ER/West Wing/Southland creator John Wells. [Variety]
