		<description><![CDATA[I believe this is an OWF exclusive, at least I have been unable to see this story picked up anywhere else. Though I do have a feeling some outlets are waiting for some more details before writing up the story.

From our most trusted and so far 100% accurate source comes the news that Austin Grossman's popular superhero novel SOON I WILL BE INVINCIBLE has been picked up by an unknown studio for a film adaptation.

D.B. Weiss, the hot screenwriter recently hired by Warner Bros. to adapt the I AM LEGEND prequel is on board to scribe.



The novel (note, not Graphic Novel) was published in 2007 and carries this synopsis through Wiki...
The novel is told through two alternating first person narratives of the characters Dr. Impossible and Fatale. Dr. Impossible is a self-proclaimed supervillain of the mad genius variety, who suffers from "Malign Hypercognition Disorder" ("evil genius" syndrome). Fatale is a female cyborg and the novel begins with her called up to join the superhero group The Champions, a Justice League of America/Avengers-style team in the wake of the disappearance of the superhero CoreFire.
I have seen the book in my local book store self several times but have never cared to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back we gave you news on WETA's involvement with the Justice League movie. Now comes a follow-up of sorts.

We previously reported that the New Zealand based company would be creating costumes for the Leaguers but were unable to get details on who they'd be working with to design them.

Wonder no more because Marit Allen (Brokeback Mountain, Love in the Time of Cholera) is on board the film as costume designer. Allen already has some experience in the superhero field as she designed the miraculous stretching purple pants in Ang Lee's Hulk.

It's looks like WETA's effects arm WETA Digital are still bidding with other houses - including Animal Logic (Happy Feet, The Matrix) - to do visual effects work on the film. They won't be the principal house on the film, though, because that job has gone to Sony Pictures Imageworks with Ken Ralston (The Polar Express, Cast Away) acting as visual effects supervisor.

Ralston is a four time Oscar winner (can he donate one to Peter O'Toole?) and President of Imageworks.

The company have previously worked on the Spider-Man movies, Superman Returns, Monster House, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and the upcoming Beowulf. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Hilary Swank has made some pretty bad career choices since picking up her second Oscar for Million Dollar Baby. Matt's post here pretty much mirrors my own opinion on Hilary.

After reading the initial story, I felt that her role in the upcoming biopic of famous female aviator Amelia Earhart could possibly put her career back on track. It's just the sort of part that she excels in.

Now I'm almost certain it'll be a return to form due to the following reasons: the project is being scripted by Ron Bass (Rain Man, Dangerous Minds) and Phillip Noyce (Dead Calm, Patriot Games) - someone who doesn't get the recognition he deserves, if you ask me - will direct the film.

Earhart is perhaps most famous for mysteriously disappearing during a flight across the Pacific Ocean in 1937. She was declared dead two years later though her body was never found. Earhart's fate is still debated today with many disappearance theories touted.

It will be interesting to see if Noyce and Bass end the movie ambiguously or shoot for a definitive answer on what happened to Earhart during her final flight. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Cronenberg has had a fascinating career. It's strange that the guy responsible for Scanners and Videodrome is also behind A History of Violence and Eastern Promises.

Next up he'll direct The Talking Cure, a movie based on Christopher Hampton's play. The play, which starred Ralph Fiennes and Jodhi May during it's London run a few years back, is described thusly on Amazon:-
"Overshadowed by portents of the coming wars, Zurich and Vienna are the setting for this tale of emotional vicissitude and intellectual debate. The Talking Cure is an intimate picture of the birth of psychoanalysis and of two intense and inextricably interwoven relationships. Carl Jung uses Sigmund Freud’s "talking cure" on Sabina, a young Russian hysteric with whom he will fall in love. Impressed with Jung’s results, Freud anoints him his successor, but when Jung develops his own theories they part ways. Sensitive and intelligent, The Talking Cure illuminates the origins of one of the twentieth century’s most influential schools of thought."
Cronenberg has gravitated towards themes of personal identity and invested his films with subtle psychological nuance in recent years so this project would slot nicely into his ouvre.

Hampton will write the movie with Jeremy Thomas producing, shooting is to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Henry Bromell has only directed one theatrical film: 2000's Panic starring William H. Macy, John Ritter, Neve Campbell and Donald Sutherland.

In this New York Times article to promote that film, Bromell makes this remark in regards to Sutherland:-
''We were getting ready to do one of Donald's big scenes, 'and Donald says, 'You don't like to give much direction, do you, Henry?' Then he paused for a second, and then - knowing that Fellini is my hero - he said, 'Neither did Fellini.' ''
Bromell will get a chance to immortalise his hero on celluloid as he is set to direct Fellini Black and White, a biopic of the famous Italian director that focuses on his "bizarre yet heartfelt romp" in Los-Angeles before the 1957 Academy Awards.

Who will play this Italian filmmaking icon? None other than Spain's Antonio Banderas. There is practically no resemblance between the pair but I doubt it matters. Fellini is an incredibly famous director but unlike, say, Alfred Hithcock, people don't really know what he looks like. Hitch strikes up an immediate visual for many but does the same apply for Fellini?

Bromell, who also wrote the script for the film, is well known for his TV work with ...]]></description>

Halloween is upon us and with that in mind OWF can bring you info on an upcoming splatter sequel.

Horror auteur George Romero's next movie is a go and it'll be Diary of the Dead 2. Romero will shoot the film in March of next year.

Diary of the Dead hasn't even been released yet, though The Weinstein Company picked up the US and worldwide distribution rights at the Toronto Film Festival so expect to see it fairly soon.

Reviews for the film have been decidedly mixed, so hopefully there's something in Diary worth making a sequel for other than the fact it'd be a fast and cheap shoot and would turn a profit quickly.

Stay tuned to OWF as we'll be bringing you several more big exclusives today and tomorrow. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Wolverine starts shooting next month and as far as I know Hugh Jackman is the only confirmed cast member (though Brian Cox is listed as rumoured on IMDB).

Fox are obviously going to have to do something about that because, as much as I would love to watch 120 minutes of solo Jackman, he could really do with someone to play off against in this film!

In charge of the search for co-stars is Christine King (Fool’s Gold, Revenge of the Sith) who has been hired as casting director for the movie. I suspect it has been left so late because the studio were waiting on Skip Woods’ rewrite. Opinion on the earlier script was universal: it stank. Hopefully Woods has been able to pull something decent together.

As for Wolverine’s duds, X-Men Films has found out that Kym Barrett (The Matrix, Speed Racer) will be designing them.

Meanwhile, over on George Miller’s Justice League, we can report that the bulk of filming will take place at Fox Studios in Sydney and will involve extensive green screen work.

As for crew members, Miller has added another Oscar winner to his team in the form of director of photography Dean Semler. Art direction comes from Hugh ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every few years we get a new screenwriting superstar: Joe Eszterhas… Shane Black… Charlie Kaufman. All three started out as “pure” screenwriters (by that I mean they wrote without producing/directing, though Black and Kaufman have now both moved behind the camera) and another was Andrew Kevin Walker.

Walker was hot stuff after SE7EN but, THE WOLF MAN aside, he seems to have been pretty quiet in recent years. In fact, he's so low-key I couldn’t find a pic of him and had to plump for a one that tenuously links to my dreadful headline! And if you don’t know who that guy pictured is go and get Jonathan Demme’s STOP MAKING SENSE.

Barely a week ago, Walker’s new spec script hit Hollywood. Titled PSYCHO KILLER, it could quite possibly be the most dark and disturbing movie yet from the warped mind that brought us Gwyneth Paltrow’s severed head in a box.

A source of mine spilled the details on Walker’s script and if it gets made it won’t be for the squeamish.

The script has a parental advisory logo and notifies the reader that it should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. It deals with a insane killer who bludgeons ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday news broke on forward momentum for the long gestating Joe Carnahan project KILLING PABLO.

I won’t bother giving you a blow by blow of the film because it’s be easier if you just click here.

Anyways, a source who works in the industry dropped us a line telling us who else is attached to star in the movie with Christian Bale and Javier Bardem.

None other than Wolfman himself Benicio Del Toro is among the already impressive cast!

I don’t have confirmation on the role Benicio is playing but a bit of research into Mark Bowden’s book points strongly towards Hugo Martinez. Martinez was a Colombian Colonel who was involved in taking down drug lord Pablo Escobar.

Martinez is introduced thusly in the script:-
“WE FIND COLONEL HUGO MARTINEZ, late 40’s. A Man possessed of a warrior’s gird and a survivor’s pedigree.”
I’m liking this cast a lot, Carnahan has assembled some macho guys who would be totally believable inhabiting this world.

KILLING PABLO will definitely be on the OWF radar. ]]></description>

Even though the Justice League movie is moving ahead at a furious pace, Warner Bros seem adamant to not even acknowledge its existence - this despite the fact that everybody and their dog knows George Miller is prepping the project and casting has commenced in the US and Canada.

From our initial casting scoop I speculated that the movie might lens in Canada due to the presence of more offices up there than in the US, however it looks like that won’t be the case.

Thanks to info sent to us, primarily from an OWF reader in the Australian film community, we’ve now got several more bits of Justice League information to share with you:-
The studio has greenlit the project as their summer 2009 tentpole. Filming for the principals will take place in Sydney from February to June 2008 – George Miller was unsurprisingly listed as director in the info we got.

Auditions are starting up down under with Nikki Barrett (Baz Luhrmann’s Australia, The Proposition) hired to handle the casting in Australia. Ronna Kress (Beowulf, The Mummy 3) will oversee the entire casting process.

Oscar-winner Barrie M. Osborne (The Lord of the Rings, The Matrix) will take on producing duties; he’ll be joined ...]]></description>
