Flesh-eating squirrels? Ok, stick with it...'Squirrels' is the new project acquired from Bazelevs, the company that talented Russian filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov ('Night Watch', Wanted') is behind. Red Sea Media bought up the international rights tot he project and are currently shopping around for a director and an A-list cast. The flick will come from a script penned by co-writers Daniel Antoniazzi and Ben Shiffrin and is based on an original idea by Bekmambetov himself. Along with the announcement comes a cool piece of early teaser art featuring a hungry little fella and humourous strapline which you can check out below. Interesting that there's no mention whatsoever of Bekmambetov's most recent effort 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' on the poster. Something which perhaps doesn't hold as much cache as his past projects. Check it out. »

It seems one’s always in danger in the land of Westeros. Trusting the wrong people will surely get you killed, if not horribly tortured first. Innocents pay for the sins of kings and noblemen with their lives as the members of the Night Watch stand out as the ones who suffer the most and receive very little in return.
Even though it takes a while for the new episode of Game of Thrones to take off — Samwell’s scene with Gilly by the fireplace nearly put me to sleep — it eventually takes us on a roller coaster ride. But I’m getting ahead of myself. This episode primary focus was on Jon Snow and Ygritte. What’s the deal with Snow, anyway? He’s digging a hole so deep he’ll soon find himself in Essos alongside Danaerys. How does he expect to come out of his current predicament? »

As you'll no doubt be aware if you're a regular around these parts, we're big fans of comic book movies here at Flickering Myth. So with the 2013 comic book movie season about to get underway in April with the arrival of Oblivion and Iron Man 3, we thought we'd spend the month counting down our picks for the 25 Greatest Comic Book Movies, beginning on April 1st and running right through to the UK release of Iron Man 3 on April 25th.
Over the past few weeks, the writing team here at Flickering Myth have been putting together their own individual top tens, which we've used to compile our list. Any film based upon a comic book was eligible for inclusion, providing it had received a theatrical release either in North America or here in the UK. So, if you're a huge fan of David Hasselhoff and you're outraged as to »

Game of Thrones makes what should be a triumphant return on HBO in HD tonight with the Season 3 premiere episode 'Valar Dohaeris' following what felt like an eternal wait through, ironically, winter. It will be up to you whether to watch tonight's premiere live or record for later with that show about zombies concluding its season tonight at the exact same time. Either way, there is a way to stream it live online if a zombie invasion won out the programming time slot battle.
When we last left Game of Thrones nearly a year ago, Jon Snow had been taken into custody by the Wildlings and should only get closer to Ygritte from this point forward as he is taken before the Wildling King. Snow's Night Watch friend, Samwell, came face-to-face with a massive Whitewalker army marching toward the wall and lived to hopefully tell someone about it.

After paying a pretty penny for the rights to the “Terminator” franchise (millions upon millions upon millions, we hear — or something like that), Skydance Productions and Annapurna Pictures are apparently ready to move forward with a sequel. The studios have now hired writers Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier to script the next installment in the sci-fi series. Obviously it’s still way too early to know where the installment is going, or what it’ll be about, or even if it’ll be canon to the previous four movies, but I’m sure that won’t stop people from speculating anyway. We do know that Laeta Kalogridis was a producer on James Cameron’s “Avatar”, and recently wrote a draft of Cameron’s “Battle Angel”. She also has Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island” and Timur Bekmambetov’s “Night Watch” on her resume. Pretty impressive, I’d say. Patrick Lussier, on the other hand, »

With Arnold Schwarzenegger's big comeback movie The Last Stand set to hit theatres this weekend, we're finally getting an update on the latest installment in what is his most successful franchise of all time. The Terminator series has changed hands a number of times in recent years, and after the disappointing performance of Terminator Salvation, it eventually ended up being acquired by Megan Ellison (Annapurna Pictures) and her brother David (Skydance Productions). Since then it has been unclear whether they were intending to continue the story from Terminator Salvation or do something completely different. While we still don't know what their plan is, we do know that the project is slowly moving forward with a pair of screenwriters being hired this week to get the ball rolling. Can they possibly come up with a story that will get this franchise back on track? According to Deadline, Skydance and Annapurna »

Known for his unique, brilliant and bonkers efforts, Night Watch, Day Watch and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Russian-Kazakh director Timur Bekmambetov is set to form a new partnership in Hollywood. Following his team-up with Tim Burton, Bekmambetov is to unite with excessive filmmaker and producer Michael Bay and will direct the ‘aerial pirates’ adventure, Heatseekers. The duo will work alongside Platinum Dunes producers, Andrew Form, Brad Fuller and Wanted scribe Chris Morgan, using a script written by F. Scott Frazier.
Bekamabetov is still working on bringing a sequel to his bullet-bending actioner Wanted. However, it appears Heatseekers will be his next film as star James McAvoy will be busy for the foreseeable future as wheelchair-bound Professor Xavier in Bryan Singer’s pre/sequel, X-men: Days Of Future Past. Bay is also prepping his own fourth Transformers effort.
We’ll keep you posted on potential Heatseekers casting.

Timur Bekmambetov, director of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Wanted, and the Night Watch and Day Watch films out of Russia, is reportedly on board to direct Heatseekers, an aerial action film produced by Michael Bay. Andrew Formand Brad Fuller from Platinum Dunes banner, known mostly for producing horror reboots and Chris Morgan, writer of four of the Fast and Furious movies and Wanted, are also producing. We can all agree on some things. It will be pretty to look at; Timur has already proven he can deliver strong visuals. It will be loud and stuff will blow up real good; cause hey, its Michael Bay. Where I am at a loss is in the brief description of the film... Plot details are scarce but it is known to center...
