Neil Marshall Plans The Last Voyage of the Demeter

Source: ComingSoon

May 11, 2012

Neil Marshall is latest name to become attached to The Last Voyage of the Demeter, says a story at The Hollywood Reporter. Last year, David Slade was said to be planning to direct and, before that, both Stefan Ruzowitzky and Marcus Nispel were once in talks.

Set during Bram Stoker's original "Dracula," the script focuses on the ship that transports the vampire from Transylvania. In the original text, the vessel arrives in England with the entire crew missing, save the captain, whose body is found tied to the helm. In the script, screenwriter Bragi Schut is said to take an approach akin to Ridley Scott's original Alien, telling the story from the point of view of the Russian crew and treating the vampire as Scott did the sci-fi terror.

Though he most recently directed an episode of "Game of Thrones", Marshall is best known for big screen films like The Descent, Dog Soldiers and Centurion.

Claflin will play Bryan McNeil in The Quiet Ones, a supernatural thriller/horror to be directed by John Pogue (Quarantine 2) which James Gay-Rees (Senna, Exit Through the Gift Shop) will produce in association with TPSC Films. With the story and original screenplay by Tom DeVille, revisions by Craig Rosenberg, Oren Moverman and most recently John Pogue, the film is currently in pre-production and will start shooting in June 2012 in the UK.

Exclusive Media's President of Worldwide Production & Acquisitions, Tobin Armbrust, is overseeing production alongside Director of Development, Shira Rockowitz. TPSC Film's President, Steven Chester Prince, is a producer on the project for the newly formed independent film division of The Traveling Picture Show Company.

First Official Look at Scarlett Johansson in Under the Skin

Source: ComingSoon

May 11, 2012

Film Nation has debuted, via their Twitter feed, the very first official look at Scarlett Johansson from Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin. We've previously seen the actress in unofficial set photos posted late last year.

In the film, Johansson plays an alien on earth, disguised as the perfect aesthetic form of a mesmerizing woman. She scours remote highways and desolate scenery looking to use her greatest weapon to snare human prey -- her voracious sexuality. She is deadly efficient, but over time becomes drawn to and changed by the complexity of life on earth. With this new found humanity and weakening alien resolve, she finds herself on a collision course with her own kind.

Glazer (Sexy Beast) co-wrote the film with Walter Campbell.

May 11, 2012

Shangri-La Entertainment announced today that Danny DeVito has wrapped shooting on his apocalyptic thriller and is now in post-production.

Directed by DeVito, the currently untitled project stars William Fichtner (The Dark Knight, Black Hawk Down), Lance Reddick, ("The Wire," "Fringe"), and Constance Zimmer ("Entourage").

Confirming the announcement, DeVito commented: "I was truly excited about getting behind the camera on this one. It is my first foray into the thriller genre and I've enjoyed the challenge of making an 89 minute edge-of-your-seater..."

The film revolves around a wounded cop, a wounded murderer and a sultry nurse. The three are thrust together, as war rages outside the only possible safe house, an abandoned City Hospital. With no doctors and only a few poor decrepit souls as witnesses, it becomes a rats' maze as the antagonistic trio get separated, and we find out the real reason they are there.

Marvel Teases THE FIRST X-MEN For August 2012

By Newsarama Staff
posted: 11 May 2012 05:19 pm ET

Marvel is back at the teaser game ahead of August 2012 solicitations, with a bit of an eXtreme eXample of what a teaser can be. You see, this is just three words "The First X-Men," teasing a new series coming in August. No image, no creative team hints, and even the official text from Marvel (below) doesn't offer up much more, aside from the fact that the reveal will come next Monday evening.

So, what will this series entail? Well, historically the first X-Men are Jean Grey, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, and Angel, but chances are this isn't quite that simple. After all, those five and their origin has been told and retold several times, including in the recent X-Men: Season One.

The only hint available at this point is that Marvel's email to the press about a 5 p.m. conference call this coming Monday — the same time The First X-Men is set to be revealed — said that both "an industry legend and fan favorite creator" would be on the line. Betwen X-Men and "industry legend," we're going to go ahead and guess that this possibly could mean a return to Marvel from long-time writer Chris Claremont.

Tune in right here Monday for the answers, and until then speculate away!

The First X-Men

Coming this August.
