Duncan Jones plans 'Escape from the Deep'

DateMonday, June 1, 2009 at 11:21AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Duncan Jones, who directed the sci-fi drama "Moon," is set to helm "Escape from the Deep," an adaptation of Alex Kershaw's book, according to Variety. Kershaw is writing the script, which follows the true story of the USS Tang submarine, which was hit by one of its own torpedoes during WWII. After sinking to the bottom of the ocean, the crew tried to escape and reach the surface.

The trade says Jones is glad he's able to tell this story, considering he was always fascinated by films such as "Das Boot" and "Crimson Tide." Jones' "Moon," which has been screening at various festivals recently, has generated a lot of positive buzz. The film stars Sam Rockwell as an astronaut who exeriences a personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period.

Daily news dose: Shawn Levy to develop 'How to Talk to Girls;' Fincher's 'Torso' not happening?

DateSaturday, January 24, 2009 at 9:59AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Here's your dose of quick news bits for Jan. 24, 2008...

• Shawn Levy is set to produce (and maybe direct) the big-screen adaptation of 9-year-old Alec Greven's advice guide "How to Talk to Girls." "The intention is to make a warmhearted comedy, with a tone reminiscent of 'Big,'" Levy told Variety.

• David Fincher's "Torso" project may not happen at Paramount. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the studio failed to extend the rights option, which obviously sucks big time. However: "While the studio still owns Kruger's screenplay, it is in discussions potentially to strike a new option agreement with the comic's writers, to whom the rights reverted." Let's hope this works out!

• Anchor Bay has acquired the North American and Australian distribution rights to "Spread," a David Mackenzie-directed comedy starring Ashton Kutcher and Anne Heche. The actor stars as a womanizer who meets his match in a local waitress. Kutcher co-produced the project. (Variety)

• Sony Pictures Classics has acquired the domestic distribution rights to Duncan Jones' sci-fi thriller "Moon," which stars Sam Rockwell as an astronaut who exeriences a personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period. Nathan Parker wrote the script. (Variety)

Posters for 'The Spirit' and 'Ice Age 3'

DateThursday, November 20, 2008 at 4:59PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Today I picked up some goodies on my poster radar. First, I have the final poster for Frank Miller's "The Spirit," which stars Gabriel Macht as a rookie cop who returns from the dead to battle crime in Central City. It looks pretty good, and you can check it out after the jump. Release date: Dec. 25, 2008.

The second poster is that of "Moon," Duncan Jones' upcoming sci-fi thriller starring Sam Rockwell as an astronaut who exeriences a personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period. I recently posted some quite interesting pics from the film, and I have to admit this one-sheet looks awesome as well.

And while I'm at it, below you'll also find the new poster for Carlos Saldanha's upcoming "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs." The third adventure of Sid, Ellie, Diego and Manny opens July 1, 2009.
