Sleeper:

Brad Ingelsby is set to write the upcoming screenplay Sleeper for Warner Brothers. This adaptation of the DC/Wildstorm comic is set to star Leonardo DiCaprio and will be directed by Ridley Scott. Sleeper centers on an operative whose fusion with an alien artifact makes him impervious to pain and allows him to pass it on to others through skin contact. He is placed undercover in a villainous organization by an intelligence agency and falls for a member of the group named Miss Misery. While DiCaprio replaces the previously attached Tom Cruise, Sam Raimi is still attached to the project as a producer. At this time, the film does not have a concrete start date.

 

 

 

Headshot:

Warner Bros. has acquired screen rights to Alexis Nolent's French graphic novel series "Headshot". The story follows an unlikely alliance between a cop and a hitman takes place after each watches his partner die. The new partners seek revenge and discover they have a shared enemy and much in common despite being on opposite sides of the law. Alessandro Camon ("The Messenger," "The Chancellor Manuscript") has been set to write the script and "Smallville" creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar will produce along with Alexandra Milchan ("The Killer," "Cyclops").

 

 

 

The Happytime Murders:

Jim Henson Co., the company behind The Muppets, has picked up the comedic film noir spec script "The Happytime Murders". Written by Todd Berger ("Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Furious Five") from a story by Dee Austin Robertson and Berger, the murder mystery takes place in a world where humans and puppets co-exist, with the puppets viewed as second-class citizens.

 

When the puppet cast of an '80s children's TV show called "The Happytime Gang" begins to get murdered one by one, a disgraced LAPD detective-turned-private eye puppet with a drinking problem takes on the case. Due to the more adult nature of the material, it will be produced under the company's Henson Alternative banner. Brian Henson ("A Muppet Christmas Carol," "Muppet Treasure Island") is on board to direct.

 

 

 

High School:

Adrien Brody and Michael Chiklis have joined the cast of indie comedy "High School" for Parallel Zide. The story centers on a high school valedictorian who gets high with the school toner and faces a drug test, then decides to get the entire school stoned so he can beat the

test by making everyone fail. Brody will portray a drug dealer and Chiklis will play the school principal. Warren Zide and Ray Markovich will produce.

 

 

 

Brigadier Gerard:

Steve Carell has signed on to star in the upcoming comedy Brigadier Gerard. King of the Hill staff writers John Altshuler and David Krinsky will pen the screenplay based on a series of short stories from author Arthur Conan Doyle. The plot of the film will revolve around a French solider in the Napoleonic wars that is deluded about his level of bravery. Carrel will play Etienne Gerard, a gallant swordsman whose actual skills often pale in comparison to his own conception of them. The project is said to showcase the kind of clueless-man comedy Carell is so well known for.

 

 

 

The Children:

What seems like a normal trip to their auntie's and uncle's soon turns into a disaster as uncle Robbie is mysteriously killed after appearing to fall off a sledge, and then mysterious child like figures from the forest start attacking.

I love the idea of taping into the magical realm of the Marvel Universe, which is fairly significant and hasn’t yet seen life on screen. It’s something I’m very, very interested in.”

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

The prequel story traces the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the vampires and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. In the dark ages, after the long struggle of the vampire race to subdue the first generation of lycans, the two races live in relative peace. Lycans are the daytime guardians of the vampires, vampires are the rulers of the night, aristocrats and nobles. When the daughter of Viktor, a vampire elder of great renown and respect, becomes pregnant with her lycan lover's child she is ordered exectued. Lucian, the lover, is forced to watch as she is burned alive by the sun along with his unborn child. When Viktor returns to the execution chamber, Lucian flies into a rage, transforms (in spite of the fact that the moon was not full) and flees with his beloved's necklace. Lucian then rallies other lycans to his cause and the war between vampires and lycans begins.

 

For centuries the war rages, eventually the lycans are beaten. Their only stronghold is the castle of their leader Lucian. Viktor's second in command, Kraven, makes a pact with the lycan alpha, Lucian. The branded skin is cut from Lucian's arm as proof of his demise and his castle razed to the ground. This farce leaves Lucian in relative peace so that he can begin rebuilding his forces to strike a deadly and telling blow against the vampires centuries later by finding the pure blood of the Corvinus line.

Check out the first Four Looks at 'Angels and Demons'...

1. Tom Hanks stars with Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer.

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/7210/angelsxlargewe4.jpg

 

2. Ewan McGregor plays Carlo Ventresca, the faithful servant to the church during the papal conclave in Vatican City. Grazer says the movie examines the conflict between science and God, particularly when faith is tested by violence. "This is the hardest movie Ron (Howard) has ever shot," Grazer says. "Not only because of being exiled from the Vatican, but it's darker subject matter."

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/1453/angelsewanxlargext3.jpg

 

3. Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks, left), Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer), Chartrand (Thure Lindhart) and Carlo Ventrasca (Ewan McGregor) examine clues in Angels. Grazer describes their earlier film, The Da Vinci Code, as "a puzzle movie. It wasn't a contemporary movie. It was a little static. This one is more dynamic. It's an action movie."

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6605/angelsdigxlargegw1.jpg

 

4. Filmmakers had hoped to shoot Angels at the Vatican and inside Roman churches. But Brown's Angels, which includes the murder of two cardinals, was quickly shut down by the church. "This movie was strangely harder to shoot than Da Vinci Code, even though there's less controversy," says producer Brian Grazer. Exteriors were shot quickly in Rome, and elaborate sets were built to replicate the Vatican and other churches at Los Angeles studios

Dr. Strange:

Christian Bale is set to play another superhero. The actor – who has played Batman in both ‘Batman Begins’ and ‘The Dark Knight’ – is said to be the number one choice to play Dr. Strange in movie studio Marvel’s latest comic book adaptation.

 

A source said: “Christian is hot property right now, courtesy of Batman. “Doctor Strange is a very different kind of hero to Batman and it’s felt Christian is the sort of actor who can make the part work on screen. “It is understood a deal could be struck in the coming weeks.”

 

The Welsh-born star “tops the list” of movie bosses to portray Dr. Strange, a former surgeon who becomes a powerful sorcerer after a car accident leaves him unable to perform operations. Bale also plays hero John Connor in the upcoming ‘Terminator Salvation’ and has signed on for two more sequels in the science-fiction franchise. He has also expressed an interest in reprising his role as Batman if a third film is confirmed.

Hellraiser (remake):

Pascal Laugier (director of the controversial horror film Martyrs), is in final negotiations to write and direct Dimension's re-imagining of Clive Barker Presents: Hellraiser, one of Clive Barker's best-loved creations.

 

The original Hellraiser was released in 1987 and told the story of an unfaithful wife who attempts to assist her dead lover in his escape from hell. The movie introduced viewers to a race of demons called Cenobites, most notably one nicknamed Pinhead -- who became one of the most enduring horror characters of the decade -- who was summoned using an antique puzzle box.

 

Dimension has been hoping to relaunch the franchise for the past couple of years, first hiring Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo to write and direct a remake then tapping Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton to write a new draft.
