German filmmaker Robert Schwentke is in talks to direct New Line Cinema and Mandalay's upcoming thriller "Venus Fixer," which is based on a true story.

Schwentke most recently directed the Jodie Foster vehicle "Flightplan." He's currently wrapping up post-production for "The Time Traveler's Wife" with Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana.

German filmmaker Robert Schwentke, director of the Jodie Foster thriller Flight Plan, has signed on to direct Venus Fixer, a thriller for New Line and Mandalay Pictures. Based on a true story, the project centers on a Holocaust survivor recruited by the American military to track a serial killer on a rampage in postwar Berlin. He must partner with a German cop who had been his friend and colleague before the Nazi regime came to power. Author J.C. Pollack, who is best known for writing espionage thrillers under the pseudonym James Elliott, penned the screenplay. Cathy Schulman (The Illusionist, Crash) will produce. Schwentke most recently helmed the Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana drama The Time Traveler's Wife for New Line.

4 Countries Unite for 'Defying Gravity'

4 November 2008 6:08 PM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

Defying Gravity will be a new 13-episode series being coproduced by Fox TV Studios, Canada's CTV, Germany's ProSieben and the BBC, which will star Ron Livingston (The Time Traveler's Wife). Created by James Parriott (Grey's Anatomy) and Michael Edelstein (Desperate Housewives), The Hollywood Reporter says the series is “set in the near future and revolves around eight astronauts from five countries who take on a mysterious six-year mission through the solar system.”

The cast currently includes Livingston and German actress Florentine Lahme with the first episode, to be directed by David Straiton, scheduled to shoot in Vancouver beginning January 19.

Edelstein the idea for the series came to him when he watched the BBC docu-drama Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets on Discovery Channel in late 2006. "I was blown away by it," Edelstein told the trade. He acquired the rights to it from British producer Impossible Pictures (Primeval) and reteamed with Parriott, »

Eric Bana in Talks for 'Armored'... Again

11 October 2008 5:03 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

So you might be wondering what a picture of Eric Bana swigging a beer in a Hulk t-shirt has to do with the remake of a French thriller. Well, the answer I'm afraid is nothing, its just one of my favorite pictures of the Aussie actor -- but back to the business at hand. Variety reports that Millennium Films is currently in talks with Bana to star in their remake of the French thriller, Le Convoyeur (now titled, Armored).

The original film was written and directed by Nicolas Boukhrief, but Millennium have their eye on F. Gary Gray (The Italian Job) to take over the remake. The script was also given a re-working by David Ayer (Training Day) and Andrew Kevin Walker. The story centers on a man (presumably to be played by Bana) working for an armored car company who manages to ingratiate himself into a heist planned by his co-workers. »

Rachel Is One of the Lucky Ones, Even Without Ryan

11 September 2008 7:05 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Rachel McAdams looked radiant and boho chic at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of The Lucky Ones last night. She arrived solo in the late Summer dusk, but I'd like to think that Mr. Gosling has a little something to do with that big smile of hers. Ever since the amazing photos of them back together kissing at lunch we've been waiting for our next McAdams/Gosling moment, which joins The Time Traveler's Wife on the list of things we're excited to see from Rachel. To see more from the premiere including lots more Rachel, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Tim Robbins, Neil Burger and others just read more Images include: Rachel McAdams, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Tim Robbins, Neil Burger Source and Source »

New Line Waits Until 'The Thirteenth Hour'

9 September 2008 5:03 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Filed under: Action, Thrillers, Deals, Mystery & Suspense, New Line, Scripts, Newsstand

I am getting a terrible sense of deja vu -- I skimmed this Variety article very quickly, thinking as I read "Oh, I remember reading the reviews of this book, and I always meant to pick it up." But then I saw the word "preemptively" and realized it hadn't been published yet. So either there's a novel out there that's eerily similar, or I'm no longer existing in space or time, like a red-haired and clothed Dr. Manhattan. What if I came up with the story first and never wrote it down?

Anyway, according to the aforementioned article, producer Michael De Luca has snapped up the rights to Richard Doetsch's not-yet-published novel, The Thirteenth Hour. It hasn't even been taken to publishers yet, but De Luca's got it, and is taking it to his old New Line stomping grounds. »

New Line Snags Rights to Richard Doetsch's The Thirteenth Hour

9 September 2008 12:00 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

New Line Cinema has acquired rights to "The Thirteenth Hour", a novel written by Richard Doetsch due out on bookshelves sometime next year. The book was described as a cross between The Bourne Identity and The Time Traveler's Wife, and follows a man accused of brutally murdering his wife who is given a chance to save her by going back in time, in one-hour increments. He puts together clues to figure out not only who killed her but why. The project is being produced by Michael De Luca, of Zathura and 21 recently, and doesn't have a screenwriter or director attached just yet. De Luca enthusiastically explained that "it has a great cinematic structure that unfolds in reverse," somewhat like Christopher Nolan's Memento. The reason why I'm featuring this announcement today is because this movie sounds like it has the potential to be something great. The concept is quite high »

Fox Delays 'Australia' By a Few Weeks

29 August 2008 10:33 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Filed under: Drama, Romance, Distribution, 20th Century Fox, Newsstand, War, Nicole Kidman

All the movie studios are just hellbent on messing with my fall season. Australia is the latest movie to get the old switch-a-roo, as Variety reports that Fox is moving its release date from November 14 down to November 26. I know, it's only a matter of weeks, but it's just the principle of the thing. And it's now pitted against The Road, forcing me to chose which one to see opening day. I don't need that kind of stress, particularly on Thanksgiving which isn't exactly the most relaxing of holidays.

The delay is apparently the result of director Baz Luhrmann needing some extra time to polish the film. He brought everyone back for some pick-up shots, which explains the paparazzi shots I've seen of Hugh Jackman riding around Oz in full drover gear. I thought he just did that »

Ron Livingston Returns to the Office!

28 August 2008 4:33 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Filed under: Comedy, Independent, Casting, Cinematical Indie

*Warning: Clip contains foul language.*

Only nine years ago, Ron Livingston played the young, fax machine-stealing, disgruntled worker Peter Gibbons in Office Space. Whoever would've thought that less than a decade later, he'd head back to the office to be an aging businessman. Man, Hollywood is tough on age.

Variety reports the Livingston will lead an indie comedy called The Company Men, that Raul Sanchez will direct from his own screenplay. As the star, Ron gets to be "an aging businessman who struggles with a collapsing economy as he tries to save a sinking company." I guess the over-the-hill moniker sticks (Livingston is 41). It'll be interesting to see how this lives up to the cult favorite, and fan expectations. But really, the big question is: Will he use a red Swingline stapler?

Meanwhile, Livingston has a co-starring gig in The Time Traveler's Wife, »

Livingston's Company

28 August 2008 7:38 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

Ron Livingston will star in the indie comedy The Company Men. In the indie picture, he will be playing an aging businessman who struggles with a collapsing economy as he tries to save a sinking company. The unknown Raul Sanchez will be directing from his own script. Livingston will next be seen in the highly anticipated (by me) The Time Traveler's Wife. Are we excited about this? I don't know -- I mean, we all know Livingston was the shit in Office Space, but I've seen American Crude so... »

Forest of the Dead

27 June 2008 4:56 PM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »

If I can borrow some inspiration from you readers again, let me say that whoever made the connection between this pair of episodes and Audrey Niffenegger’s lovely, sad novel The Time Traveler’s Wife nailed it. I hadn’t thought of them in those terms but they’re simpatico in theme beyond the obvious time-traveling connection. Beneath the science fiction trappings of both lies a feeling that a lot of people share: It’s not easy to love someone who wanders. That’s true even if those wanderers mean well. The best bits of this episode, even if they sometimes slow the pacing particularly toward the end, drill down to the emotional core of the Doctor. His scenes with Alex Kingston’s River Song after he begins to piece together that not only is this strange woman legit, she might be destined to be a companion in the sense »
