DRACULA YEAR ZERO Returns from the Dead
By chance, if you are a commercial director you really have the chance to seat in director’s chair for feature film sooner rather than later. Gary Shore (The Draft) is certainly one of these guys.
He decided to use his precious experience to work within a limited budget to direct the film, complete with a new draft of the screenplay from its originators, writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (a new Flash Gordon and the new Clue).
Saoirse Ronan to Star in Disney’s ORDER OF THE SEVEN
The Order of the Seven, formerly known as Snow and the Seven, which originated under the title Snow White and the Seven Samuri, once had Natalie Portman slated to play the lead and now, the lead role has been given to Saoirse Ronan.
Vincent Cassel, Léa Seydoux to Play BEAUTY AND THE BEAST for Christophe Gans
The best stories are those that can be told again and again: Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast are some of the well-known fairy tales you may have seen or heard in your youth.
Recent CBS Films’ Beastly starring Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens, and just last month Disney’s version of the Beauty and the Beast tale in 3D are good evidence for what I meant to say.
Emma Thomspon for One of the BEAUTIFUL CREATURES

Jim Mickle to Remake Cannibal Horror WE ARE WHAT WE ARE
I agree some people are really lazy when it comes to watching foreign films because the original has subtitles and so Stake Land director Jim Mickle takes advantage of that need by ‘sinking his teeth’ into a remake which involves the cult cannibal film We Are What We Are. However, it has the potential to be awesome.
Ralph Fiennes to Direct and Star in THE INVISIBLE WOMAN
Ralph Fiennes is one busy guy. If you have any doubts about that, I’m here to report Fiennes is now definitely on board to direct and star in the upcoming period drama The Invisible Woman.
What’s also great is that Kristin Scott Thomas (who co-starred with him in The English Patient) is attached to star in the whole thing as well!
Jason Jones Joins THE BLACK MARKS
We already had a little chat about Jonathan Sobol‘s The Black Marks heist comedy, so by now you should know this project has quite interesting cast on board.
Movie already stars Kurt Russell, Matt Dillon and Jay Baruchel but according to the latest reports Jason Jones will join them as well! Anyone surprised?
Naomi Watts to Play Princess Diana in CAUGHT IN FLIGHT
I’m pretty sure you’re going to love this news. Naomi Watts is now on board to play Princess Diana in the upcoming movie Caught in Flight!
In case this project sounds familiar to you, I will just remind you that Jessica Chastain was previously attached to portray Princess of Wales, but if you ask me – Watts is definitely a better choice!
