Movies Being Planed

    Kristen Stewart to be in Camp X-Ray, Stewart plays a new soldier, Cole, who forms an unusual friendship with an eight-year Guantanamo Bay detainee, Ali.

    Fox Studios to do Rochester based on the graphic novel, Rochester reimagines Charlotte Bronte's 1847 novel "Jane Eyre" in a contemporary setting, following the life of a young orphan who becomes the governess of the Rochester estate.

     Christoper McQuarrie is set to direct Unforgiven based on the TV show. The original series, which aired in 2009, starred Suranne Jones as Ruth Slater, a convict responsible for a double homicide of two police officers who, upon her release from prison 15 years later, is targeted for revenge.

    Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg will direct in American Desperado,  In 2008 veteran journalist Evan Wright, acclaimed for his New York Times bestselling book Generation Kill and co-writer of the Emmy-winning HBO series it spawned, began a series of conversations with super-criminal Jon Roberts, star of the fabulously successful documentary Cocaine Cowboys. Those conversations would last three years, during which time Wright came to realize that Roberts was much more than the de-facto “transportation chief” of the Medellin Cartel during the 1980s, much more than a facilitator of a national drug epidemic. As Wright’s tape recorder whirred and Roberts unburdened himself of hundreds of jaw-dropping tales, it became clear that perhaps no one in history had broken so many laws with such willful abandon.

    Roberts, in fact, seemed to be a prodigy of criminality – but one with a remarkable self-awareness and a fierce desire to protect his son from following the same path.

    American Desperado is Roberts’ no-holds-barred account of being born into Mafia royalty, witnessing his first murder at the age of seven, becoming a hunter-assassin in Vietnam, returning to New York to become -- at age 22 -- one of the city’s leading nightclub impresarios, then journeying to Miami where in a few short years he would rise to become the Medellin Cartel’s most effective smuggler.




     Ryan Reynolds to star in Mississippi Grind, in the movie, Mendelsohn will play a gambler on a losing streak who will team with Reynold's younger gambling addict hoping that the two teaming for a road trip through the South will change both their luck. 

    Jacob's Ladder remake is coming our way. The original film starred Tim Robbins as a Vietnam veteran living in New York City named Jacob Singer. Haunted by his past, Singer begins a descent into madness that threatens to blend reality and delusion with the threat of a Dante-inspired damnation.

     Nicole Simson Biopic An American Mystery movie is planned. The film will follow the relationship between Brown and O.J. Simpson from their meeting in 1977 through their marriage in 1985, their divorce in 1992 and Brown's subsequent murder alongside Ronald Lyle Goldman in 1994.

    Budgeted at $65 million, An American Mystery claims that it will take an an unbiased look at the facts in the unsolved case and will also offer up new evidence surrounding the double homicide. Charlotte Kirk will be playing in the lead role.

  
-------------------------------------------------
  Jeff Chan will direct Zombie Tale 19, that features a world wherein anyone over the age of 19 automatically becomes an undead monster.
 ---------------------------------------------------
         
       Dreamworks plans The Fire Sermoon,  Set in a post-apocalyptic 25th century, The Fire Sermon has humanity evolved without technology and all children are born as twins. The Alpha twins represent a ruling class while the mutated Omega twins are treated as lower-class individuals and sent to live in their own villages. The catch is that when one twin dies, so does the other and the story follows a brother and sister pair, one of whom rises up to become a ruler amongst the Omegas. The books are not even out yet!

       Dreamworks is also planning or I should say eyeing a new film of The Grapes Of Wraith, Previously adapted for the screen by director John Ford in 1940, The Grapes of Wrath follows the Joads, a poor farming family, during the Great Depression.





     David Hayter will direct movie for The Sword based on the graphic novel, it tells the story of a young paraplegic, Dara Brighton, who leads an ordinary existence until her family is brutally murdered by a mysterious trio, possessed of god-like, supernatural abilities. Left for dead, Dara discovers an ancient sword belonging to her father, indicating that his past may have been much longer, and stranger, than she could have ever suspected. The sword not only restores her ability to walk, but it grants her a constantly evolving array of spectacular physical powers. With her new weapon in hand, and two faithful friends at her side, Dara Brighton embarks on a journey to hunt down and destroy her family’s assassins.





----------------------------------------------------------------
    Five actors join in the thriller Kickback, Sean Astin, John Hannah, Michael Biehn, Stelio Savante and Noureen DeWulf have joined the cast of Raza Mallal's thriller Kickback.

    Based on a true story, the movie written and directed by Mallal, follows a renegade Moscow detective investigating the murder of a female war journalist who becomes embroiled in a web of counter espionage involving chemical warfare and the assassination of the Russian president.

---------------------------------------------------------------
    Disney making another real life film of The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, the classic tale of an Indian boy named Mowgli who is raised by wolves and living among the animals, is becoming quite popular apparently as Walt Disney Pictures, who released the classic 1967 animated version, will be developing their own live action movie based on the book. They've hired Justin Marks to adapt Kipling's short story collection that was first published in the 19th Century.

    With Kipling's book well into the public domain, Warner Bros. has been developing their own live action version of The Jungle Book, written by "Harry Potter's" Steve Kloves, while at the same time developing a new Tarzan movie. Even so, Disney certainly has an advantage in that most people who hear the title "The Jungle Book" will associate it with the animated feature--Walt Disney's last production--which they were likely to have seen sometime in the last 45 years.



      Johnny Depp set to star in the movie Mortdecai, Depp will star as Charles Mortdecai, a debonair art dealer and part time rogue who “must traverse the globe armed only with his good looks and special charm in a race to recover a stolen painting rumored to contain the code to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold.”



        George Romero's Day Of The Dead  remake film is planned. With the tremendous box office of director Marc Forster's World War Z still coming in and "The Walking Dead" continuing to be one of the most successful shows on television, it doesn't look like zombies are going anywhere anytime soon. It should come as no surprise then that Deadline is reporting that one of the all-time undead classics, Day of the Dead, is planning a big screen remake.

        George Romero followed his genre-defining Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead with Day of the Dead in 1985. Set in an underground military base, the film follows the zombie apocalypse from the point of view of both soldiers, scientists and a zombie test subject named Bub.

        Day of the Dead was previously remade in 2008 as a direct-to-home video effort. The producers on the new film are promising that it will attempt to honor Romero's original and assure that the zombies will be of the slow-moving horde variety. 




       Elijah Wood to star in Cooties, A cautionary tale of a school lunch program gone horribly wrong, Cooties tells the story of a young girl who eats a chicken nugget infected with a virulent disease. She begins to transform into a violent, murderous flesh-ripping juvenile who transmits the disease, which only affects the pre-pubescent. As it quickly spreads, the teachers find themselves trapped in the school, faced with a horde of rampaging adolescents, and must come up with an immediate lesson plan to save their very lives.





       New Line is to do a action comedy The Lost, it follows the misadventures of two first-offender convicts who have to clear their names when they're accused of murdering their parole officer.

       New Line also has plans to make a sequel to The Conjuring!



       Universal will make a movie called Midnight Delivery it will star Kevin Costner. Based on an original idea by Del Toro, Midnight Delivery will find Costner as a father who is forced to become a drug mule to protect his son.




     Universal also have plans to make Weaponized film. Following the tremendous box office success of last year's Safe House, Universal Pictures has secured the rights to the upcoming Weaponized, an action thriller from that film's writer, David Guggenheim, and Nicholas Mennuti. Deadline has the news, reporting that the new book will be adapted into a screenplay by Guggenheim himself.

    Kyle West is a wanted man. Having betrayed his former boss—billionaire government contractor Christopher Chandler—Kyle’s hiding in Cambodia, frantic for a way home, and finding more and more reasons to be paranoid.

    In a moment of weakness, he swaps passports with a mysterious fellow American, Julian Robinson, in Cambodia on business.

    This one decision plunges Kyle into a Pandora’s Box of intrigue that threatens to swallow him whole. He’s suddenly being pursued by Russian oligarchs, Chinese operatives, the CIA, and a beautiful woman trained to kill; because Robinson is certainly not who he seemed, and time is running out for Kyle to discover the truth about the dangerous man who stole his identity.





      Universal has plans to make a movie called Bird Box, Malerman, part of the rock band The High Strung, is set to publish "Bird Box" in 2014. The plot is said to follow a woman and two children, all of whom travel down a river, blindfolded, surrounded by a seemingly post-apocalyptic environment.


      Reese Witherspoon will star in the Wild based on the book. With the dissolution of her marriage and the death of her mother, Cheryl Strayed has lost all hope. After years of reckless, destructive behavior, she makes a rash decision. With absolutely no experience, driven only by sheer determination, Cheryl hikes more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, alone. "Wild" powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddens, strengthens, and ultimately heals her.






       Sony Pictures will Go Fast with director Jeff Wadlow. It involves the super-fast water craft that DEA agents use to take down drug smugglers.

     Sony Pictures plans on doing a movie on the video game of Gran Turismo, The first Gran Turismo was released for PlayStation in 1997 and boasted 140 different sport cars and 11 different racing environments. The most successful game franchise in PlayStation history, Gran Turismo 6 is slated to hit shelves later this year.

    The news comes in the wake of Universal Pictures' Fast & Furious 6 breaking records worldwide and earning more than $700 million worldwide. DreamWorks Pictures, meanwhile, has their own racing franchise in the works, also based on a video game series. The Scott Waugh-directed Need for Speed will hit theaters March 14, 2014



     Sony Pictures takes on sci-fi novel Tomorrow And Tomorrow. Tomorrow and Tomorrow takes place ten years after a deadly attack on Pittsburgh. The sole survivor, an archivist, now works in a digital recreation of the city and one day comes across evidence of a conspiracy and cover-up that threatens to tear his whole world apart.
