Therefore, Paramount Pictures has acquired the rights with Baker directing and genre scribe Stephen Susco (The Grudge) to write and produce the feature version.

The original was written by the helmer’s fellow Chapman University grads Matt and Ross Duffer.

Likened to Alien, The Thing and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Vessel tells the story ‘of a group of airplane passengers who encounter an otherwordly force shortly after takeoff and are thrown into a fight for their lives.’

Shooting Starts on Skarsgard’s “Hidden”

16 August 2012 10:27 AM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »

WB has started shooting the post-apocalyptic film Hidden, starring True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgard and Andrea Riseborough, according to Styd. The film is described as follows:

Ray (Skarsgård), Claire (Riseborough) and their seven-year-old daughter, Zoe, are an average American family in Kingsville, North Carolina—except they have existed in a bomb shelter since escaping a day of devastation that changed everything.

For 301 days, they have transformed their cement prison into a home, holding on to memories of the past and hope for a normal life someday. And for 301 days, the family has eluded what looms above the surface—the heavy breathing and booming footsteps that punctuate the night, threatening their fragile existence.

All the while, the family has managed to stay hidden. Until now. Now their safe haven has been breached…and something is coming for them.

Matt and Ross Duffer wrote the script and will make their directorial debut on the promising sounding film. »

Casting Call: Josh Duhamel to Lead Nicholas Sparks Adaptation Safe Haven; Andrea Riseborough Joins Alexander Skarsgard in Hidden

25 April 2012 1:52 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

We’ve got a couple of casting stories to share this afternoon.  First up, Josh Duhamel is ready to get his Nicholas Sparks on.  Variety reports that the Transformers star is in negotiations to lead the adaptation of Sparks’ Safe Haven.  The story centers on a young woman with a dark past who arrives in a small North Carolina town, and reluctantly begins a relationship with a widowed store owner and his two children, and a friendship with her plainspoken neighbor.  Duhamel would play the widowed store owner, but producers are still trying to fill the female lead role.  Also, I’m assuming someone dies at the end. Lasse Hallström (Chocolat) is onboard to direct and the film already has a pre-Valentine’s Day release date set for February 8th, 2013.  The Nicholas Sparks adaptation The Lucky One, starring Zac Efron, opened to a successful number two at the box office last weekend. »
