Onimusha:

Christophe Gans ("Silent Hill") has signed on to direct a $70 million big screen version of the Capcom action title "Onimusha." The story focuses on a 16th Century Samurai who is after a resurrected bad-guy and on a mission to save a princess. Shooting will begin later this year in China for a 2009 release. Gans will be working from a Leslie Kruger and John Collee ("Master and Commander") script.

 

 

Ninja Gold:

John Woo is attached to direct and produce the new Fox Atomic film Ninja Gold, based on the video game of the same name. The story centers on a ninja warrior, part of a centuries-old legacy and bloodline, forced to confront the reality of covert warfare in the modern world. "The game concept is actually based on facts that the Yakuza and the Russian mob are involved in tons of gold being stolen in South Africa," said frequent Woo collaborator Terrence Chang.

 

 

 

The Last House on the Left (Remake):

Wes Craven is plowing straight ahead with his The Last House on the Left redo. According to Variety, he has hired Dennis Iliadis to direct and Adam Alleca to write the horror update.

 

Craven himself is producing the new film with Marianne Maddalena and Sean S. Cunningham. According to Craven, the film will retain its original flavor. Released in 1972, The Last House on the Left revolved around a couple of killers who unknowingly take refuge with one of their victims' parents. Wes plans on making the film more realistic this time around. He stated that, "The first one was arch, especially in relation to the killers."

 

 

 

The Dark Knight:

The "Batman Begins" sequel will mark the first major feature to be even partially shot using Imax cameras. These sequences will be combined with the rest of the film - lensed in 35mm - to produce the final product.

 

The first of the Imax-lensed scenes - a prologue that introduces the Joker (Heath Ledger) - was shot in Chicago last month, several weeks in advance of the actual start of principal photography. The photo above is from that shoot, as is this photo which you can see another blurry distant shot of Heath in Joker garb - but it gives you an idea of the look including the green hair. Additional scenes will be filmed with Imax cameras during the course of production. The film is scheduled for a July 18th 2008, day-and-date theatrical release with Imax theaters.

As for the four characters he will play in Hellboy 2 Del Toro Films says it will be Abe Sapien which he will voice this time around, The Chamberlain, The Angel of Death and a Wizard.

 

 

 

Speed Racer:

Scott Porter has landed a role in Warner Bros. "Speed Racer," which starts shooting this month in Berlin reports Variety. Porter will play Rex, the older brother to Speed Racer who fakes his death and returns as Racer X (Matthew Fox).

 

Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized—the legendary Rex Racer—whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill.

 

Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), the designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company's maniacal owner (Roger Allam) but uncovers a terrible secret—some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If Speed won't drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line.

 

The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at its own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams with his one-time rival—the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox)—to win the race that had taken his brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.

 

 

 

30 Days of Night:

Set in the isolated town of Barrow, Alaska, in the extreme northern hemisphere, which is plunged into complete darkness annually for an entire month. When most of the inhabitants head south for the winter, a mysterious group of strangers appear: bloodthirsty vampires, ready to take advantage of the uninterrupted darkness to feed on the town's residents. As the night wears on, Barrow's Sheriff Eben (Josh Hartnett), his estranged wife Stella (Melissa George), and an ever-shrinking group of survivors must do anything they can to last until daylight.
