PARIS -- Venus Williams bounced back from a poor start at the French Open on Sunday, beating 19-year-old Paula Ormaechea 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 in her first Grand Slam match since revealing she has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.

The seven-time major champion seemed taken aback by her opponent's early aggressive play, but still managed to turn the match her way and reach the second round.

The 31-year-old Williams, a former top-ranked player who is now No. 53, is 12-4 this season.

Williams pulled out of the U.S. Open last August before her second-round match, saying she had Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease that can cause fatigue and joint pain. She returned to the tour in March.

Shadow of the Colossus movie in development with Sony Pictures

Home ? Featured, News

Sony Pictures and Josh Trank, director of sleeper-hit Chronicle, have teamed up to make a live-action adaptation of the classic Shadow of the Colossus.

Writers are currently being interviewed to help create what will hopefully be a true-to-source video game movie.

Movies based on videogames have had quite a bad reputation amongst gamers but will Shadow of the Colossus break this trend and be universally liked?

For those of you who haven?t played the game or have even heard of it, the story is about a young man named Wander who sets out on a journey to slay 16 giant Colossi so that he is able revive a girl named Mono.

Josh Trank has claimed to have been a massive fan of the game when it saw a release back in 2005 and so sought out the job to direct the movie so hopefully the fate of it is in good hands!

There has been no word on casting, an expected release date or when filming may begin but Kevin Misher, producer of big hits The Interpreter and Public Enemies, has signed on to produce the movie.

>> i think one of the top ten days days of space exploration .

>> reporter: the capsule is ornl about a size of a closet. but while dragon may be small, there are big plans for the capsule to some day carry not just cargo, but humans into or orbit.

>> there's not enough room to hold a barn dance , but there's plenty of room for the crews.

>> reporter: dragon was built by spacex. with a average age of its worker, just 30. the founder says his goal is to some day send people to mars and spacex has plenty of competition. but for now, it is the only company that can boast this.

From Steve Hu's latest in NorCalPreps (a Rivals sub is required): "Isaiah Taylor 6-foot-2 PG The Village School (2013) Texas Pro: The former St. Mary's Berkeley product is now in the Lone Star state. He is bigger in stature and still plays with an aggressive nature in driving to the paint. Taylor states that he has offers from George Mason, Lehigh, Northeastern, and San Jose State. In addition to the move to Texas, Taylor also reclassified to the 2013 class. His size and quickness for a point guard makes him an attractive prospect."
