24 May 2012 12:34 PM, PDT | Best-Horror-Movies.com | See recent Best-Horror-Movies.com news »
So far the red band version is the best trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. We get some gore with splats of CGI blood but I guess it's better than no blood at all. Timur Bekmambetov directs Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter written by Seth Grahame-Smith and stars Benjamin Walker Paradise Lost), Rufus Sewell (Dark City), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (The Thing) and Dominic Cooper (The Devil's Double). »
Alex Proyas to Helm Gods Of Egypt for Summit Entertainment
22 May 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
Since director Alex Proyas’ motion-capture, big screen adaptation of the Milton poem, Paradise Lost, was axed by Legendary Pictures back in February due to the prohibitive cost of the film, Proyas has been busy lining up his next project.
THR reports that Proyas (I, Robot, Dark City) is in talks to helm Gods of Egypt, a fantasy film for Summit Entertainment set in the times of ancient Egypt. The script was written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, who have worked on developing Dracula: Year Zero and also Flash Gordon. “The story sees a mortal, a god and a goddess unite to fight an evil force in ancient Egypt.”
Proyas is producing under his Mystery Clock Cinema banner with Basil Iwanyk’s (Clash of the Titans) Thunder Road Productions. »

Among the highlights of Total Film's weekend at Kapow! Comic Con, was our interview with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter star Rufus Sewell. The English actor, whose long career has taken in titles such as Dark City, The Illusionist and The Tourist, proved to be a candid and forthright interviewee on the Tf stage. Tf's Jamie Graham grilled the actor about working with director Timur Bekmambetov, and he discussed the nature of trying to get into character when you're playing a history-defying vamp. Sewell shares refreshing observations into...

Alex Proyas To Helm 'Gods Of Egypt' For Summit, Fox & Scott Free Grab E-Book Sensation 'Wool'
18 May 2012 11:50 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Score one for the self-published author. In a bidding war comparable to the recent "50 Shades of Grey" face-off, 20th Century Fox has acquired the film rights for Hugh Howey's self-published, post-apocalyptic e-book, "Wool." Originally started as a stand-alone story in 2011, fervor over Howey's work led to more installments, the first five of which have been compiled into a omnibus edition. Howey self-published "Wool" through Amazon, and, after positive word-of-mouth, sold over 140,000 copies through e-book in just under six months. Not bad for a guy who worked as a yacht captain for eight years before pursuing a literary career (can't make stuff like that up).
Ridley and Tony Scott’s Scott Free are partnering with Film Rites’ Steve Zaillian and Garrett Basch for the film version of "Wool," which is set on a decimated Earth and follows the remains of humanity living in an enormous silo. Fox is clearly setting its »

Alex Proyas To Go In Search Of The ‘Gods Of Egypt’
18 May 2012 9:26 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The Crow director Alex Proyas has been rather quiet since 2009′s lukewarm Knowing, starring Nicolas Cage. To be fair, he was set to direct all-star warring-angel epic Paradise Lost before the studio baulked at the huge budget and cancelled production. His screenplay for a new re-telling of the Dracula story was also scrapped and is now set to collect dust on the shelf. Proyas, who previously helmed visual blockbuster I, Robot and cult-thriller Dark City, is now possibly taking charge of fantasy-adventure Gods Of Egypt.
The only thing known, so far, is that it will tell the age-old story of a ‘common thief’, who unites with a God on a journey through the iconic lands of the pyramids. Proyas will collaborate again with his Dracula: Year One writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. He recently signed on to direct the mysterious-sounding The Unpleasant Profession Of Jonathan Hoag, but there is »

Alex Proyas to Direct Gods Of Egypt
18 May 2012 8:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Dark City director Alex Proyas is in negotiations to direct a new fantasy action film for Summit Entertainment called Gods of Egypt. All we know so far is that the story is set in ancient Egypt, and it follows a mortal, a god and a goddess who team up to fight an evil force that is obviously causing some big problems.
The script was written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, who also worked on the scripts for Dracula: Year Zero and Flash Gordon.
There's not really any other information on the movie, but I'm a fan of Proyas' work, and it sounds like it has potential of being epically cool. The director was previously developing a film called Paradise Lost that is now dead, and was also recently attached to direct a film based on the 1942 novel by Robert Heinlein called The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag.

Alex Proyas Takes Over Gods Of Egypt At Summit
18 May 2012 5:22 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Alex Proyas, the director of Dark City and I, Robot, spent years developing an adaptation of Paradise Lost, which was so far along he showed off concept art at Comic Con last summer. Set to star Bradley Cooper as Lucfier in the adaptation of Milton's classic poem about Adam and Eve and the fall of man, Paradise Lost was first put on hold due to budget worries, then scrapped entirely. Proyas had a few months to dust himself up and let the Paradise Lost dream die, but admirably, he's jumping right back on the wagon, and with another huge project that seems much more likely to happen. THR reports that Summit has picked him to direct Gods of Egypt, which appears to be exactly s it sounds-- a mortal, a god and a goddess reunite to "fight an evil force" somewhere in ancient Egypt. Unsurprisingly, they've got Clash of the »

Alex Proyas in Talks to Co-Write and Direct 'Gods of Egypt' Adventure
17 May 2012 8:04 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Dark City director Alex Proyas hit a bit of a rough patch recently, with the back-to-back disappointments of having the plug pulled on both Dracula: Year Zero and Paradise Lost. But the resilient director scooped up a directing gig for the mystery story The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, and things are looking up for him with another project as well. Variety reports that Proyas is in talks to direct Gods of Egypt, a fantasy adventure about a common thief and a god on a quest through the land of great pyramids. Proyas is also set to co-write the screenplay with his Dracula: Year Zero writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (what an awesome name). Gods of Egypt may be the closest thing to Paradise Lost Proyas can direct right now, keeping in line with the with the heavenly and supernatural elements. Sounds like that's a creative itch that Proyas »

Alex Proyas Takes on the Gods of Egypt
17 May 2012 7:48 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
That's right; it's a grudge match to the very end! In one corner we have the director of The Crow, Dark City, I, Robot, and Knowing (yes, Knowing) - Alex Proyas! In the other, weighing in at whatever the hell they want, from the mystical desert - the Gods of Egypt!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Proyas is in negotiations to direct Gods of Egypt, Summit’s fantasy set in the land of the Pharaoh. The story sees a mortal, a god, and a goddess uniting to fight an evil force in ancient Egypt.
Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, who have worked on the in-development Dracula: Year Zero and Flash Gordon, wrote the script. Basil Iwanyk (Clash of the Titans) is producing with his Thunder Road Productions along with Proyas’ Mystery Clock Cinema banner.

Alex Proyas Will Direct Ancient Fantasy Tale ‘Gods of Egypt’
17 May 2012 4:40 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
If all went according to plan, Alex Proyas would likely currently be in the middle of production for his big-budget blockbuster Paradise Lost with Bradley Cooper. But with that project falling apart, he jumped to the drama The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, which he is currently set to shoot this fall. While that continues development, the Dark City director is still keeping his options open for future projects.
Variety reports that one of these will be Gods of Egypt, described as following a “magical quest” taken by a mighty God and a puny thief. The Summit Entertainment project, which takes place in “the legendary world of great pyramids and sphinxes” will be written by Proyas, along with relative newcomers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, who have completed scripts for the yet-to-be-produced Flash Gordon and Dracula Year Zero, a previous project Proyas was attached to.

Alex Proyas In Talks to Direct Gods of Egypt
17 May 2012 4:35 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
The pessimist in me wanted to call this article, “Alex Proyas in Talks to Direct Another Film that He Probably Won’t End up Directing”, but I realize that was entirely too pessimistic, so I went with the drab headline you now see above this article. In any case, I love Alex Proyas. I really do. “The Crow” and “Dark City” are two of my favorite movies of all time. Heck, I even liked “I, Robot” and “Knowing”, and those are two pretty “meh” sci-fi movies. But I totally dug them anyway, because Alex Proyas directed them. It seems like I’ve been waiting for Proyas to direct another movie for decades. His last movie was 2009′s aforementioned “Knowing”. He’s been attached to, and in some cases has been developing a half dozen really awesome sounding movies since, and none have ever actually gotten made. It’s enough to »
