A big-screen adaptation of the first John D. MacDonald’s series of novels to feature the character Travis McGee has been in the works for quite some time now. Leonardo DiCaprio has been set to star in (and produce) 20th Century Fox’s simply-titled Travis McGee since 2009 but the project is finally moving forward with The Bourne Ultimatum and United 93′s Paul Greengrass directing. Acclaimed author and screenwriter Dennis Lehane will adapt the screenplay based on the 1964 novel ‘The Deep Blue Good-by’.
If successful, there are plenty of other stories for inspiration with MacDonald having a further twenty novels to feature the character officially described as: a beach bum who won his houseboat in a card game. He’s also a knight errant who’s wary of credit cards, retirement benefits, political parties, mortgages, and television. He only works when his cash runs out and his rule is simple: »

Two new posters have been released for Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Ant Man) and Simon Pegg's (Star Trek Into Darkness) new film, The World's End, ahead of a second trailer to be released later today. And you know where you can watch that? Why, right here on Flickering Myth, of course... *cough* cheap plug *cough*.
The film's villains, potentially aliens, can be seen in the posters' backgrounds. They're the ones with the evil Led eyes.
Best part about the above poster? "The Nick Frost". There must be imposters.
The World's End is the final installment in the 'Three Flavours Cornetto' trilogy. Here's the official synopsis:

This week Amazon is offering The Bourne Trilogy -- The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum -- on Blu-ray for a deeply discounted price of $25.00, just click here to pick up your own copy. I'm sure Universal is prepping some sort of Bourne franchise collection to include the recently released Jeremy Renner-led The Bourne Legacy, but if you ask me that's hardly a title worth owning and this collection, which I actually own, doesn't lose any value by not having it. Again, this is Amazon's Deal of the Week and you can buy your own copy by clicking here. »

Tom Hanks is a man in uniform for the titular role of real-life survivor Captain Richard Phillips who was held hostage for three days in 2009 during the Maersk Alabama hijacking where his ship was besieged by Somali pirates and we've got the Exclusive first trailer of Captain Phillips.
Along for the tense ride is Catherine Keener as his wife Andrea Phillips and at the helm, Paul Greengrass whose previous efforts, high-paced actioners The Bourne Ultimatum, The Bourne Supremacy, United 93, hint at a style and skill set that's well-suited to tell this tale of survival during the first American cargo ship hijacking in 200 years.
And we know what happened the last time Hanks had a role that brought him to the high seas - an Oscar nomination for Cast Away in 2000 - and from the footage here it seems that Captain Phillips should be a powerful biopic with plenty of heart. »

It's weird to say that Tom Hanks is experiencing a renaissance, but: Tom Hanks is experiencing a renaissance. In the last week alone, Hanks was nominated for a Tony Award for his role in "Lucky Guy" and named the Most Trusted Person in America by Reader's Digest readers. Now, he's at the center of the first trailer for "Captain Phillips."
The fact-based film stars Hanks in the title role as Maersk Alabama captain Richard Phillips, who was taken hostage when his ship was captured by Somali pirates in 2009. The Maersk Alabama was the first U.S.-flagged ship hijacked since the 19th century.
"They're not here to fish," Hanks-as-Phillips says about a couple of rogue boats approaching his ship. That's when all hell breaks loose, with director Paul Greengrass ("The Bourne Ultimatum") seemingly cutting things together with the goal of maximizing the audiences' capacity to grip the armrests of their seats. »

Paul Greengrass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, and United 93, has another exciting epic on the horizon. Captain Phillips, based on the true story of Richard Phillips, sees Tom Hanks in the eponymous role as a man that allows himself to be taken hostage by Somali pirates, in return for his crew’s safety. The trailer certainly highlights the action present in the film, and it also seems as though Greengrass has tuned down his shaky-cam preferences. If United 93 is anything to go by, then we know just how powerful and traumatic Greengrass can make these true life action films.
Captain Phillips is released 11th October. It stars Tom Hanks and Catherine Keener.
