Logan's Run Gets Bioshock Video Game Writer Ken Levine
3 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Warner Bros. has tapped Ken Levine, who created the hit video game franchise Bioshock, to write the screenplay for their languishing Logan's Run's remake.
Ken Levine actually got his start as a screenwriter and playwright before breaking into the video game business. The remake is said to be a passion project for the writer, who will still develop video games through his Irrational Games company while working on the script.
The original Logan's Run, released in 1976, is set in a world where everyone must be willingly executed by the age of 21. Those who try to test their fate are known as "runners," and are chased down by Sandmen. Michael York starred as a Sandman named Logan 5, who becomes a runner himself when he reaches the maximum age of 30. He ventures outside of the domed city where all of humanity lives, to take his chances in a post-apocalyptic Earth.

First '300: Rise of an Empire' trailer is a visual feast of battle and bloodshed
12 June 2013 7:15 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Prepare for some serious man-yelling. Of course I'm talking about the very first trailer for Warner Bros.' "300: Rise of an Empire," the follow-up to Zack Snyder's 2007 blockbuster that made Gerard Butler a star and paved the way for such modern-day sword-and-sandal epics as "Immortals" and "Clash of the Titans." Snyder is just a producer this time around, with director Noam Murro (erm, "Smart People") taking the reins and starring duties now handled by Aussie beefcake Sullivan Stapleton ("Gangster Squad," Cinemax's "Strike Back"), who plays the role of Athenian general Themistocles during the second Persian invasion of Greece.

Warner Bros. Pictures have provided Latino-Review with the first trailer for “300: Rise of an Empire,” which is produced by “Man of Steel” director Zack Snyder.
The action adventure stars Sullivan Stapleton (“Gangster Squad”) as Themistokles and Eva Green (“Dark Shadows,” “Casino Royale”) as Artemisia. Lena Headey reprises her starring role from “300” as the Spartan Queen, Gorgo; Hans Matheson (“Clash of the Titans”) stars as Aeskylos; David Wenham returns as Dilios, and Rodrigo Santoro stars again as the Persian King, Xerxes.

Watch First Trailer For 300: Rise Of An Empire
12 June 2013 4:53 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
If any film demanded a sequel, it is Zack Snyder’s 300. With Man Of Steel hitting this weekend, it is no mistake that the first trailer for 300: Rise Of An Empire has chosen this moment to assault our collective senses.
While Mr. Snyder did not direct 300: Rise Of An Empire, he did have a hand in both writing and producing it. The film follows the Greek general Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton) as he leads an army against Persian King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), the most fabulous god-king in all the land. The story roughly parallels the Battle of Thermopylae, which 300 gave us in such adrenaline pumping CGI. But this film primarily concerns the naval Battle of Artemisium, so we can expect a lot of very wet men in leather bikinis. Am I complaining? No. I am not.

Watch: First Muscular & Melodramatic Trailer For '300: Rise Of An Empire'
12 June 2013 4:35 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The bad news: it's been pushed a whole year until March 2014. The good news is, the new trailer for “300: Rise of an Empire” is here, even if it's now nine months early (maybe everyone figured, "hell, it's done!"). Don't look for many original players (though a few are back). Zack Snyder's not directing (though he is producing), Gerard Butler and all those dudes bit it at the end of the first film. Instead you've got filmmaker Noam Murro, the indie director behind 2008's "Smart People," who must have put together some impressive promo reel to convince Warner Bros. he could go from that tiny, talky indie to this would-be tentpole. There aren't a lot of stars either. Sullivan Stapleton (“Gangster Squad”) plays Themistokles and Eva Green (“Dark Shadows,” “Casino Royale”) plays the villaness Artemisia.

Wave of Blood Featured on New 300: Rise Of An Empire Poster
12 June 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
This is the latest poster for 300: Rise of an Empire, and it features a wave of blood. If you've seen the first movie, then you know there's going to be a lot of blood spilt in battle.
The movie is being directed by Noam Murro from a screenplay written by Zack Snyder and Kurt Johnstad. It's based on the graphic novel Xerxes, by Frank Miller. The first film was so badass. It's my motivational workout movie. I hope this sequel ends up being just as awesome.
It's is set to be released on August 2nd, 2013 and here's the synopsis:

Sullivan Stapleton Broods On First Poster For 300 Sequel Rise Of An Empire
12 June 2013 1:30 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Life's been good to Sullivan Stapleton. A few years ago he was taking odd jobs crewing on films and TV to pay the bills, now he probably has some kind of venerable butler who pays his bills for him. His change in circumstances can be traced back to Animal Kingdom, the crime film that basically launched him into the Us, along with Jacki Weaver, Joel Edgerton, Ben Mendelsohn, James Frecheville and of course its director David Michôd. Since Animal Kingdom took off in 2010, Stapleton has gone on to star in action TV series Strike Back and also had a bit in Gangster Squad. However it was to be 300: Rise of an Empire where he was truly expected to come into his own. Now we...

Man of Steel Writer Hired for Justice League, Zack Snyder Says Superman Will Be Team Leader
11 June 2013 4:28 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
In the same article about Warner Bros moving forward with "Man of Steel 2," it's mentioned that David Goyer signed a three-picture deal with Warner Bros that includes "Man of Steel," "Man of Steel 2," and "Justice League." Will Beall (Gangster Squad) previously provided a script for "Justice League," but ever since Warner Bros got to work on "Man of Steel," it was rumored that Beall's script will not be used since the studio will head in a different direction, to be guided by the "Man of Steel" team. News of Goyer's hiring to write "Justice League" confirms that rumor. During the premiere of "Man of Steel," Zack Snyder said that he would be happy to discuss directing "Justice League" when the time comes. Regarding the story...

9 June 2013 11:10 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Leonardo DiCaprio is set to portray Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, the infamous Russian mystic, healer and prolific womaniser who rose to become one of the most influential advisors to the Russian Imperial family the Romanovs in the early 20th century before being poisoned, shot, beaten, shot, strangled, clubbed, shot, castrated and then shot again by his rivals, who then dumped him in the icy Neva River where he subsequently drowned. Or something like that.
The latest screen version of the Mad Monk's mad life has been written by Jason Hall, who recently penned the script for Steven Spielberg's upcoming biopic American Sniper starring Bradley Cooper, and will be produced by DiCaprio's production company Appian Way for Warner Bros. Pictures. Kevin McCormick (Gangster Squad), Jennifer Davisson Killoran (The Ides of March) and Peter Morgan (The Queen) will all serve as producers.

Man Of Steel: Zack Snyder Explains Why He Kept The Tornado Scene After Oklahoma Twister
8 June 2013 4:40 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Often after a real life tragedy or disaster, movie studios will alter or completely remove a scene from an upcoming movie if they feel it resembles these events too closely. Recently Warner Bros. reworked a cinema shootout from Gangster Squad after the horrific shootings at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colo. But was there any pressure to remove a devastating twister sequence from Man Of Steel after an EF5 tornado hit the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on May 20, killing 24 people? According to Zack Snyder is was never discussed. "He’s changed by those events,” the director told Entertainment Weekly. “If anything, we feel like our Superman has a connection — not to make light of it — to the kind of grief that happens during those kinds of natural disasters. Also, in a sad way, even Superman can’t change that.” And what does »

Warner Bros. is developing a Rasputin movie for Leonardo DiCaprio at the actor’s studio-based Appian Way banner along with Kevin McCormick’s Langley Park Pictures.

Controversial 'Man Of Steel' Scene Won't Change
7 June 2013 9:33 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Burbank, Calif. — In the upcoming film "Man of Steel," Superman faces off against ruthless outcasts from his home planet. The last son of Krypton also encounters a more realistic force of nature on earth: a deadly tornado.
"Man of Steel" director Zack Snyder said there was never any discussion about altering the pivotal scene involving a twister following recent deadly storms in Oklahoma.
"He's changed by those events," said Snyder during an interview to promote the movie. "If anything, we feel like our Superman has a connection – not to make light of it – to the kind of grief that happens during those kinds of natural disasters. Also, in a sad way, even Superman can't change that."
A top-of-the-scale EF5 tornado hit the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on May 20, killing 24 people. Another round of violent storms that produced a separate EF5 tornado struck last Friday, leaving nearly two dozen people dead. »

'Man of Steel' Keeping Tornado Scene, Despite Oklahoma Tragedy
7 June 2013 8:02 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Superman is faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive, but can he stop a massive tornado?
That's at the heart of a key scene in "Man of Steel," which has been glimpsed in the trailers. But with the recent tornado devastation in Oklahoma -- where two EF5 twisters left dozens dead -- would the scene remain in the movie?
Director Zack Snyder confirmed that he is keeping the tornado sequence. "He's changed by those events. If anything, we feel like our Superman has a connection -- not to make light of it -- to the kind of grief that happens during those kinds of natural disasters," Snyder said.
"Also, in a sad way, even Superman can't change that."
If Snyder had altered or removed the scene, it wouldn't have been the first time that a movie did so out of sensitivity to recent tragedies. "Gangster Squad »
