'Midnight Movie' Poster and stills



'At a run down theater in a sleepy suburban town, a group of friends attend the midnight screening of a 1970s cult horror film. These unsuspecting teenagers are unaware that the director and star of the movie made a bloody escape from a psych ward five years earlier and may still be on the loose. As the midnight movie begins, the kids heckle the old black-and-white scenes. But they are jolted when the killer butchers one of their friends…on screen! They soon realize that the killing is not a prank. They are locked inside the theatre and the killer from the movie is after them!' The film is directed by Jack Messitt and stars Rebekah Brandes, Greg Cirulnick, Mandell Maughan, and Daniel Bonjour.

Prostitutes Strangled By Journalist in 'Hades'

Warner Bros. has acquired the John Leake book Entering Hades and has attached Robert Schwentke to direct the adaptation. The book, published late last year by Farrar, Straus & Giroux, is about Jack Unterweger, a journalist who led a double life strangling prostitutes in Vienna and Los Angeles, and covering his own crimes in the early 1990s. Unterweger hanged himself after receiving a life sentence. "Robert, Richard and I want to do a movie that is more than a dark serial killer story," Cooper said. "This is about the power of celebrity, and what happens when this sociopath goes to Los Angeles, a city that is the prototype for reinvention."

King & Straub's Talisman Adapted for Graphic Novel

Del Rey, an imprint of Ballantine Books at the Random House Publishing Group, announced today the acquisition of the comic book and graphic novel rights to The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub.

The creative team on the project will be announced soon, and the first issue of the monthly comic is planned for late summer/early fall 2009.

Originally published in 1984, The Talisman is the story of a young teen named Jack Sawyer, who can save his dying mother only by retrieving a magical talisman. To find it he must cross back and forth between our world and the frightening and dangerous landscape of its "twinner" counterpart. The hardcover edition, published by Viking, spent 12 weeks in the #1 slot on the New York Times list. Both The Talisman and its sequel, Black House, are in print with Ballantine Books.

Television rights to The Talisman are under development by Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy.

"Illustrating The Talisman in the depth that it deserves will involve at least 24 issues of comics, probably more," said Del Rey Editor in Chief, Betsy Mitchell, who acquired the project from agent Ralph Vicinanza. "It's a tremendously visual story, filled with images that burn in memory long after the book has been closed."

King's Dark Tower comics (published through Marvel) consistently inhabit the top of the comic book sales charts, and his recent series, Dark Tower: Long Road Home was the top-selling comic book in North America in March 2008.
