Scream Queens, which received a new trailer this week.
USA Network has formally given a series order to Queen of the South. The series will be based on the 2002 Spanish novel La Raina Del Sur by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, which has already been adapted into a Spanish-language telenovela, and will star City of God and Predators‘ Alice Braga in the lead role of Teresa Mendoza. The series synopsis is as follows.
Queen Of The South tells the powerful story of Teresa Mendoza (Braga). When her drug-dealing boyfriend is unexpectedly murdered in Mexico, Teresa is forced to go on the run and seek refuge in America, where she teams with an unlikely figure from her past to bring down the leader of the very drug trafficking ring that has her on the run. In the process, she learns the tools of the trade and strategically positions herself to become the leader of the Cartel.

John Fremes has joined Voltage Pictures as president of international sales and distribution and will report to president and COO Jonathan Deckter.
Fremes arrives from Nu Image / Millennium and replaces Elisabeth Costa de Beauregard, who is transitioning into a production deal with Nicolas Chartier’s company and to that effect will be on set in Ireland for John Moore’s I.T. starring Pierce Brosnan.
For the last three years Fremes served as president of international sales and distribution at Nu Image / Millennium, where he sold titles like Expendables 2 and 3, Olympus Has Fallen, Homefront and the upcoming London Has Fallen and Mechanic: Resurrection.
Voltage has also brought in Scott Bedno from Spotlight Pictures as vice-president of international sales. Bedno, along with Voltage’s international sales coordinator Mike Quinn, will report directly to Fremes.

The Die Hard series may be alive and well, but there's a unique story behind the writing of each one…
As any action fanatic will tell you, Die Hard is among the best films of its type ever made. Tautly directed by John McTiernan, deceptively well shot by cinematographer Jan de Bont, and full of charismatic turns from Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman and Bonnie Bedelia, it’s seldom been bettered, even by its sequels.
The key to the first film's success, and the sequels in their best moments, is hero John McClane. Tough, sarcastic but ultimately human and relatable, he cuts a very different figure from the beefed-up, larger-than-life heroes of 1980s and 90s action cinema. When John McClane gets shot or injured, he actually feels pain. It's something we were keenly aware of in the 1988 original, but gradually ebbed away as the Die Hard franchise drifted from thriller territory...

1.) The most interesting trade news as of late is word Warner Bros. has acquired the Mickey Spillane series of mystery novels featuring private investigator Mike Hammer. I personally have only seen one previous Hammer adaptation, that being Robert Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly, which I really enjoyed and even started my Criterion review saying, "If 75% of movies were like Robert Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly I could watch one a day and never get bored." Of course, that is the big wonder, how much will WB's adaptations be like Aldrich's film? A noir crime thriller as fun as it is hard-nosed and serious. Apparently the hope is to build a new action franchise surrounding the Hammer character, which is said to have inspired Ian Fleming's James Bond as well as Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Stacy Keach starred in a late '90s television series as Hammer and he's...

Oscar-nominee Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air) returns to the big screen this autumn in Pitch Perfect, which promises to be the best musical-comedy of the year.
The first trailer debuted earlier this summer, giving us a great impression of a film not taking itself too seriously, and just having fun with the music – exactly what musical-comedies should be doing, in my books – and now Apple have debuted a new featurette, giving us A Look Inside.
“Beca is that girl who’d rather listen to what’s coming out of her headphones than what’s coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together.

The Oscar-nominated Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air) is best known for her work on screen, starring alongside George Clooney in Up in the Air, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen in 50/50, and the Twilight ensemble, but what you might not know about the brilliant young actress is that she’s also an amazing singer, and that she was the third-youngest person to ever be nominated for a Tony Award at the age of just twelve.
Kendrick returns to the big screen later this year in Pitch Perfect, a musical-comedy surrounding an all-girls a cappella group, and after catching the excellent first trailer and images a few weeks back, MSN have now treated us to the first clip, giving us a great taste of the music we have to look forward to – if you’re a fan of Glee, this is almost certainly going to be a film you won’t want to miss.

Hollywood can be a fickle business. You can have innumerable critical and financial successes, even amassing Academy Award nominations along the way, but if you fail hard enough, it’ll be sufficient to put you out of the running for good. It’s common for film directors to hit a stride and then endure a slump after that initial wave of popularity, and typically, it is something that directors both accept and eventually recover from with their latest hit.
The examples that follow are something altogether different, however. These instances see the director in question diving headlong into the critical and commercial abyss after a string of hits, and as of yet, failing to return to popular notoriety. It is a testament to both the power of the Hollywood machine, and also to the fact that perhaps some of these guys were just in the right place at the right...

It sounds like there are some good things happening with the fifth Die Hard film, A Day Day to Die Hard. Director John Moore is currently in production on the film, and he took a break to talk about it with Empire. In the interview he discusses the film and what he's doing and not doing with the classic John McClain action hero. There are so many bad directions that this movie could go, but it sounds like Moore is trying to avoid all of them.
Bruce Willis reprises his role as McClane as he takes on some angry Russian bad guys after his son, Jack (Jai Courtney), gets himself into some "serious international trouble" in Moscow.
When asked if the film will have any glib jokes in the film like "How can the same shit happen to the same guy five times..." lines? he said,
No, because that’s preposterous!

We saw the excellent first poster earlier this week (which I’ve also included below, in its updated larger size), and now Yahoo Movies have debuted the fantastic first trailer and images for the film.
It’s not that often we get the chance to enjoy a cappella on the big screen (or anywhere else, for that matter), so I for one am definitely going to be taking advantage when Pitch Perfect hits later this year.

We have shared some sweet Star Wars iPhone cases in the past, but nothing compares to these officially licensed cases from PowerA. These cases were announced at E3 Expo and are available for the iPhone 4/4S.
Here is a statement from John Moore, vice president of product development and marketing for PowerA:
Mobile phones play a huge part in the lives of so many, and for the last 35+ years “Star Wars” has been a prominent part of mainstream culture. These innovative and high quality cases inspired by classic “Star Wars” art and characters are eye-catchers for fans of the franchise.
Check out the cases and share your thoughts.
These are nice, but I would much rather have this Han Solo in carbonite case. Which is your favorite case above?

John McClane has someone else to do battle with, as more casting news for A Good Day To Die Hard arrives...
As we reported yesterday, shooting has begun on the fifth Die Hard movie, A Good Day To Die Hard, with Max Payne director John Moore calling the shots.
Just because filming has started, though, it doesn't mean that there isn't time for a bit of new casting news. And Deadline this morning reports that Cole Hauser is the latest addition to the film's call sheet.
His part in the film is described as "a pivotal supporting role", and he's set to play a villain in the movie, by the name of Collins. That's all we know about his part thus far, though. By "pivotal supporting role", though, we wonder if it's something along the lines of Maggie Q's relatively brief part in Die Hard 4?

New York — Hundreds of people took to New York City streets calling for justice for slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin on Wednesday evening (March 21). Protestors flooded Union Square in what was dubbed the Million Hoodie March, in support of the 17-year-old who was shot on February 26 by 28-year-old neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman in a gated Sanford, Florida, community.
Martin's parents led the demonstrators who demanded that Zimmerman be arrested.
The protest occurred the same day that the Sanford city manager announced that police could not arrest Zimmerman because he was protected by the so-called "Stand Your Ground" law, which allows Floridians to shoot anyone they believe is threatening them.

Des Moines, Iowa — Anywhere you went in Iowa over the past few weeks, the talk was likely to be focused on Tuesday night's (January 3) Iowa caucus. But, because President Obama is an incumbent facing no Democratic challenger, the nation's attention has been on the in-fighting among the Republican candidates vying for their party's nomination.
Obama was not far from their lips, though, as a landslide of attack ads on the airwaves here hammered the president on his policies, while questioning his dedication to the American ideal and just about anything else that would inspire Republican voters to come out and help decide the first-in-the-nation primary event.

Holston will bolster the motion picture lit and financing departments and gives Sam Gores’ agency a well established dealmaker who played on a high level as a film agent at CAA. For Paradigm’s motion picture business, Holston is the highest-profile addition since Paradigm got close in courting the late Ed Limato when he left ICM, only to see that iconic dealmaker choose WME as a landing place for himself and his star clients. At CAA, Holston had a strong list of writer and director clients, and the immediate question will be who stays and who goes. That list includes Stephen King, Rob Reiner, Wolfgang Petersen, Robert Towne, John Moore, Marshall Herskovitz, Jordan Kerner, Ed Zwick, Jim Ivory, Bruce Robinson and Jon Avnet. There will be a chase for those clients, and...

Many remain ambivalent regarding the news of another Die Hard entry being officially greenlit. I have sincerely got nothing but love for the franchise and although I think Die Hard 4.0 / Live Free or Die Hard suffered from being artificially squeezed into a more “friendly” rating/certificate, it was still a welcome and commendable addition to the canon.
Now that A Good Day to Die Hard has a writer and director and release date (John Moore, Skip Woods, 14th February 2013), casting is apparently beginning in earnest for the key role of McClane junior.
Having had Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Lucy McClane in the last entry, John’s son is to be a key character this time around. The good news is that it doesn’t need to be a teenager or a younger child, given that the McClane progeny are all grown up now, so we are apparently looking at people like Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad,...

Aaron Paul, Ben Foster, Paul Dano, and Milo Ventimiglia are all said to be testing for the role of John McClane's adopted son in "A Good Day to Die Hard" at 20th Century Fox says Variety.
The studio is also reportedly interested in Paul Walker for the role but he's not expected to test. It's thought that whomever lands it, the role could end up being the lead character in future sequels.
Willis is set to return as the hard-nosed John McClane who heads to Russia in this outing. John Moore directs from a script by Skip Woods with shooting to kick off early next year for a February 2013 release.

Now that the confounding title and unsurprising plot description for A Good Day to Die Hard has been revealed, actors are getting rounded up. Bruce Willis is, as always, playing John McClane, but the second lead — McClane’s “apparently-wayward son” who somehow ends up in a Russian prison — needs to land someone in the part. Otherwise, the John Moore-directed fifth installment of the action franchise will probably have zero chance of functioning.
Variety claims that Fox has several young stars who will be reading with Willis, the biggest names being Ben Foster, Paul Dano, Aaron Paul, and Milo Ventimiglia. Getting to kill some terrorists next to John McClane in a Die Hard movie would excite plenty of young actors, but there’s an added benefit to playing the son: it “could open the door to inherit” the series from Willis after he retires. These movies have something of a built-in audience already,...

The film, helmed by John Moore, will hit on February 14, 2013 and will find our lead in battle with Russian forces, along with his two sons. Got to have some young blood in there, I guess [...]...

Ah, Valentine’s Day. That one day of the year where you put some extra effort forth towards the one person you love. Fox has now decided to desecrate the “holiday” by releasing their fifth Die Hard iteration in 2013. May Payne director John Moore is helming the sequel that will be titled A Good Day to Die Hard. /Film also uncovered some more details from Tom Rothman, co-chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fox Filmed Entertainment, who appeared on the Jim Rome show this morning. Check out a synopsis below for the film that will start shooting this January.
The story is set in Russia and begins with John McClane heading to Moscow to sweet talk some cops into letting his apparently-wayward son out of jail for something he did, but when he gets there, things surrounding his son’s arrest are not as they appear and world-threatening terrorist hijinks ensue.

In addition to each movie in the Die Hard franchise getting a bit more ridiculous as time goes on, the titles have done the same. While it started normal enough with the first two movies - Die Hard and Die Hard 2 - the third movie got a little more creative, going with Die Hard: With a Vengeance. Next, while it was originally going to be called Die Hard 4.0, the studio ended up naming the third sequel Live Free or Die Hard. Now the fifth movie in the series has followed suit with a crazy title of its own. 20th Century Fox has announced that the next adventure of Bruce Willis' John McClane, directed by John Moore, will be called A Good Day To Die Hard and will be released on February 14, 2013, according to Deadline. The theater launch is an interesting break with tradition, as all of the other...

The John Moore-directed "A Good Day to Die Hard" is scheduled to hit cinemas on February 14th 2013 and will send John McClane (Bruce Willis) to Russia where his son's been arrested. Action ensues.
Production on the film is slated to kick off in January on-location in Russia. Skip Woods penned the script.
The fourth film, "Live Free or Die Hard", was retitled "Die Hard 4.0" in various international territories. No word as yet if that will apply again here, nor on what MPAA rating the film is targeting.

After confirmation of a director in John Moore, it was inevitable that we’d start to get more information on the fifth instalment of the Die Hard franchise. Tom Rothman, CEO of Fox, announced today that the movie will be called A Good Day To Die Hard, and it will be released February 14th, 2013. As for the story, it is indeed set in Russia but apparently ‘nothing is what it seems’, and it will feature John McClane’s son too, who hasn’t been cast yet. The writer, Skip Woods, previously wrote Swordfish, Wolverine, and the A-Team. What do you think? Like the title? Or do you feel at this stage it should have been called Die Hard With A Pension? I thought Die Hard 4 was great, so am interested to see how this one turns out…… via slashfilm...

20th Century Fox has set A Good Day To Die Hard for a February 14, 2013 release, the highlight of several pictures the studio has just dated on its release calendar. Bruce Willis is set to reprise his role as John McClane in the John Moore-directed film, and casting is just getting underway for the role of his son, John McClane Jr, which has the agencies abuzz because of the opportunity for a young actor to make a mark. Fox has dated the Liam Neeson-starrer Taken 2 to open Columbus Day weekend, on October 5, 2012; the Curtis Hanson-directed surfing film Of Men & Mavericks will open October 26, 2012 with Gerard Butler starring; the Billy Crystal/Bette Midler comedy Parental Guidance will bow November 21, 2012 for Thanksgiving; Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters will open March 27, 2013, which is the Wednesday leading into Easter weekend; and Walking With Dinosaurs has moved to the Columbus Day weekend...

After The Expendables turned in a surprisingly strong $275 million worldwide gross, many have wondered what they would do for an encore. How’s this? Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis have just closed deals to take “substantial” roles in The Expendables 2, alongside Sylvester Stallone. This has been rumored as possible, and it basically answers the hopes of a lot of fans who weren’t satisfied when action icons Schwarzenegger and Willis turned in cameos in the original, and poked fun at the days when they were the world’s top action stars. Stallone directed the first one but stepped out and the job went to Simon West. Filming will begin in October, and Lionsgate will once again release the Millennium Films-produced actioner. Schwarzenegger and Willis are repped by CAA. Schwarzenegger is already working for Lionsgate in the Jee-Won Kim-directed action film Last Stand. Willis will squeeze in the role...

After a tumultuous summer of back and forth negotiating, the people behind Die Hard 5 have made it official that John Moore will be the man directing the further adventures of Officer John McClane. It was reported back at the end of July that Moore was a near-lock for the spot, and that the fifth Die Hard film would take place in Russia and see McClane sharing the action with his son, who was just a tyke in the first film, but who is now all grown up. Then, just a few days later, reports came out that while the story synopsis was accurate, Moore was just one name on a short list that also included Joe Cornish, Nicolas Winding Refn, and Justin Lin. That made me happy because those other three have all made movies that I’ve liked better than anything I’ve seen from Moore. But alas, it...

John Moore is set to direct Bruce Willis in 'Die Hard 5'. The 'Max Payne' filmmaker has been chosen by 20th Century Fox and Bruce to helm the fifth film in the franchise, which will shoot in Russia. It is planned he will make the project before he becomes involved in the sequel for 'Red' - which also starred Bruce alongside Dame Helen Mirren. 'Die Hard 5' has been on the hunt for a director since Noam Murro dropped out after winning the job working on '300: Battle of Aremisia'. Joe Cornish,...

Another Bruce Willis related story, again? Yes. We've known a greenlight was given to a Red sequel months ago, when they resigned Erich and Jon Hoeber to pen the next script as well. Only now is Summit closing in on a possible director for the film. Deadline reported, moments after releasing the news about John Moore negotiating to helm Die Hard 5, that Summit is looking very closely at Breck Eisner (The Crazies) to direct Red 2, but is still considering many options.

“Die Hard 5” isn’t the only sequel on Bruce Willis’ agenda. He’s also front and center of “Red 2,” Summit’s sequel to Robert Schwentke’s delightful little lark about aging assassins. I could be wrong and misled by Google, but I believe this is the first confirmation we’ve had that Willis is signed for the sequel. As of this summer, Summit still hadn’t made deals with any of the stars, and it’s still not clear who may or may not return. (I demand more machine gun toting Helen Mirren, otherwise there’s just going to be no class to the sequel.) Summit and Willis both hope to shoot “Red 2” before Willis flies to Russia to film “Die Hard 5.” However, they’re in need of a director. Robert Schwentke is busy with “R.I.P.D.” John Moore’s name floated around, but Fox snatched him up for “Die Hard 5.

If there was ever a series that just didn’t need five installments, it was “Die Hard.” The first film is so damn perfect. It’s just one really, really, really bad day for an ordinary cop. Sure, it was kind of amusing that poor John McClane, who had proved so adept at Nakatomi Plaza, might get caught up in another extraordinary situation…but five times? Wait, this is one of those Planet Hollywood bets, right? All the shareholders had to top one another with their iconic action heroes, right?Well, whatever. After some frenzied speculation on Deadline, Variety broke the news that John Moore has officially been given the job of directing “Die Hard 5.” Moore was one of a number of names circulating – other candidates included Joe Cornish, Justin Lin, Nicolas Winding Refn, Gary Fleder, Paul McGuigan and Mikael Hafstrom -- as Fox scrambled to find a director to replace Noam Murro.

Just a few minutes ago it was reported that John Moore is 20th Century Fox's choice to helm Die Hard 5, but there's still another Bruce Willis sequel in pre-production that doesn't have a helmer. Earlier this year Erich And Jon Hoeber were hired to pen a sequel to Summit's Red and a few days later the project was given the greenlight. I'm not sure what they've been doing for the past eight months, but now it seems they are on the hunt for a director. Deadline says that next big director hunt could be Red 2. Robert Schwentke, who directed the first film, is currently dedicated to shooting R.I.P.D. with Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges, and Summit has not yet hired anyone to replace him. Breck Eisner, who surprised critics with his remake of The Crazies last year, has been brought up as a possibility, but the studio ...

It's been a weird, wild ride finding out who would be directing Die Hard 5. The search began in February when it Bruce Willis said he was actively looking for a new helmer for the series. Almost immediately after that, it was revealed that Noam Murro, director of Smart People had landed the gig. Then a few months passed and it was announced that Murro would actually be ditching Die Hard 5 in favor of 300: Battle of Artemisia. Back to square one, Fox released a list of names they were considering for the director's chair, including Nicolas Winding Refn, Joe Cornish, Justin Lin and John Moore. Today they finally made their decision. Deadline has learned that John Moore has been selected and is now in final negotiations to helm Die Hard 5. Bruce Willis is set to return as hero John McClane and though there aren't any specific details about the story,...

Exclusive: After a long search process, 20th Century Fox and Bruce Willis have just chosen John Moore to direct Die Hard 5. The film will shoot in Russia, and the hope is to make it before Willis moves on to shoot a Red sequel for Summit Entertainment. In fact, Willis has just begun going through the same director search with Summit on a sequel to the 2010 hit Red. Robert Schwentke is busy helming Universal’s R.I.P.D. with Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds. They’ve just begun casting the dragnet for directors on that film. Names like Breck Eisner are being floated, but other shooters are being considered. As for Die Hard 5, Moore is in final negotiations and was in the running through the entire search as Fox tried to find a filmmaker that pleased Willis and the studio execs that have to shoot this movie in Russia and bring...

The potential Die Hard 5 excitement level is going up and down like an express elevator from Hell. For months we'd just assumed [1] that Noam Murro was going to direct the inevitable next chapter in the Bruce Willis action saga, but when he signed for [2] 300: Battle of Artemisia, it looked like the job was going to John Moore. Now, mere hours after that news broke [3], it turns out that's only a half truth. Moore, who directed Max Payne, The Omen, Flight of the Phoenix and Behind Enemy Lines is still in the mix, but he's reportedly on a short list with the, no offense to Moore, much more exciting directors including Joe Cornish, Justin Lin and Nicolas Winding Refn. Read more after the jump. Deadline [4] first reported that Moore doesn't officially have the job and that Cornish, Lin and Winding Refn will all join him in having meetings soon to discuss the project.

For those excited for Die Hard 5 (er, those one or two people?), some new details have emerged online over at Twitch. If the fifth entry in the series actually comes to pass (it's been in on and off for over a year now), we could be seeing legendary bad-ass John McClane kicking ass all over Russia. Yes, the next Die Hard could be an international affair. The plot allegedly involves McClane and his son visiting Russia for some reason, where they'll be caught up in some good ole' fashioned terrorist's plot. Additionally, Twitch notes that Irish director John Moore has been tapped to direct the sequel. While he's not signed on in an official capacity, they say the project is essentially his if he wants it. Is Moore a step up from Len Wiseman, whom directed Die Hard 4? I'm not so sure myself, as Moore credential's aren't exactly inspiring and...

I don’t know about you, but I had an awesome time kicking Gotham baddie ass as the Dark Knight in the original Batman: Arkham Asylum. Now, it seems will have a new anti-hero, or should I say anti-heroine in the follow-up to that critically acclaimed video game, Batman: Arkham City.
In Arkham City, players will be able to take a break from being the hero Gotham needs, instead taking on the role of the sexy and nimble Catwoman, kicking ass on the streets of Arkham City’s containment zone. Catwoman will reportedly be able to level up the character’s armor and stats, just like they do with the big black bat, and she will have her own gadgets, abilities and combat system.
Check out the new trailer, displaying Catwoman’s ass kicking skills in Arkham City below!

Word from Heat Vision is that the “Taken” director has “presented” his version of “Quija” to Universal, and will now be waiting to hear back from the suits to learn if he’s gotten the gig or not. He’s currently battling with fellow directors Sylvain White, Scot Stewart and John Moore for the job. But if Morel doesn’t land the work, he’s also in the running to direct Sam Raimi’s alien invasion movie “Edf” (“Earth Defense Force”), which sounds a hell of a lot better than an action-adventure movie based on a board game, but maybe that’s just me. I mean, here’s the plot of “Edf”: The story is set after three alien fighters attack the planet, leaving countries humiliated. The governments of Earth then race to create a space fighting force in preparation for a second attack by an approaching alien horde.

Taken director Pierre Morel is getting closer to directing his next film for Us audiences, but the question now beckons ... will it be an action packed ghost story or an action packed alien invasion flick?
As per The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision Blog:
"The French director, who came to Hollywood’s attention with the hit Liam Neeson action movie Taken, is making a presentation this afternoon to Universal outlining his take on Hasbro board game adaptation Ouija.
The studio has already heard a presentation from Sylvain White, and Scott Stewart and John Moore have also been having conversations about directing the supernatural thriller centered on the spirit board that is used to communicate with the dead.

Movie Line: Chris Rosen points out that “Blue Valentine” helmer Derek Cianfrance isn’t the only director — or even the only director of a 2010 film distributed by The Weinstein Company — who has a major beef with the MPAA this year. His film received a particularly harsh rating (Nc-17) for questionable reasons relating to one of its scenes, and now so, too, has Tom Hooper′s “The King’s Speech.” An R-rating has been slapped on the Toronto Film Festival Audience Award winner because — get this — of a scene in which King George VI (Colin Firth) is asked by his speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) to “unleash a torrent of swear words” as part of an effort to help him overcome his stutter. It remains to be seen if Harvey Weinstein will re-edit the scene and then re-submit the film with the hope of getting a more box-office friendly rating.

Final Orbit is a project that has been talked about for about two years now. So far, nothing has come from it (obviously), but it looks like now there is a real effort to get it off the ground. It seems that Producer Gale Anne Hurd (Terminator, Aliens) has a lot of faith in the project. She claims the film has “all of the classic cat-and-mouse, edge-of-your-seat elements to be a fantastic white-knuckle thriller.”

Director John Moore is now attached to helm Final Orbit, an action/sci-fi movie for 20th Century Fox, the studio where Moore has called his home these past few years (Max Payne and the remake of The Omen being all the proof required.)
Based on a forthcoming graphic novel to be published by Platinum Studios, Final Orbit tells the story of a group of lottery winners that win a prize to travel to the International Space Station. While onboard the Iss, an accident leaves the vacationers stranded, inches away from the vacuum of space and without the aid of any astronauts. Phil De Blasi and Byron Willinger are adapting the comic into a screenplay.
Nine pages of artwork for the project can be viewed at ComicSpace.

Renner for Raven and Perhaps Battleship: Jeremy Renner will star in James McTeigue's (V for Vendetta) next film The Raven with Ewan McGregor also in talks to join the cast. The period thriller is described as a fictionalized account of the final five "mysterious" days of Edgar Allan Poe's life. The story will follow the famous writer as he joins the hunt for a serial killer whose murders are inspired by his stories. I expect Renner is in line to play Poe. The Hurt Locker actor is also in talks to play the lead role in Peter Berg's Battleship as well as having "no fewer than five meetings to star in another project, which he declines to reveal." He will need to decide between the two as both shoot this summer, whatever the mystery film may be at least that much is known. [New York Times]
