Sean Bean didn’t have much luck as Ned Stark in Game Of Thrones, and he was cursed in Mirror Mirror, so you’d forgive him for seeking out a little break from darkness, sorcery and death. Yet he’s prepared to throw himself into what could be another dangerous tale, signing on to star in a potential psycho-thriller trilogy based on Deon Meyer’s Devil’s Peak series.Peak’s books – Devil’s Peak, Thirteen Hours and 7 Days – were published between 2004 and 2011. The plots follow Benny Griessel (the role Bean is on for), a detective who works for Cape Town’s Serious and Violent Crimes Unit.Griessel, in the long and noble tradition of hard-bitten ‘tecs, is dealing with his demons (family issues and alcoholism in this case) even as he shows off an impressive ability to track down murderers.Producers Malcolm Kohll, Michael S Murphy and Ofir Kedar...

Big screen tough guy and sometimes baddie Sean Bean might finally be getting his break as a main character in a franchise revolving around the adaptation of novels written by South African author Dean Meyer.
Sean Bean is one of those actors that leaves me scratching my head because I can’t figure out why he hasn’t grabbed the leading man role in a variety of films that have come out, seeming to always fall into the role of major villain or good guy that gets killed before the end credits roll. Now, it looks like he might finally get his chance to shine as he lands the role of Detective Inspector Benny Griessel in a planned trilogy of films based on Meyer’s novels.
Devil’s Peak introduces everyone to Griessel as he hunts down a serial killer that targets killers of children. The other books in the series are 13 Hours and 7 Days.

Devil's Peak novel trilogy by South African writer Deon Meyers, adapted for the big screen, sets Sean Bean as star. Talented actor Sean Bean, who's impressed fans with his recent work in HBO's Game of Thrones last season, has landed a three-picture deal for the adaptation of the trilogy produced by Malcolm Kohll, Michael S. Murphey and Ofir Kedar, reports Deadline. The books follow Benny Griessel, who Bean would portray, a detective working in the Serious and Violent Crimes Unit in Cape Town who has family issues, as well as being a recovering alcoholic - but he's very good at his job. They're looking at a September start date, naturally filming in Cape Town, but I would expect some shooting to be done in Johannesburg. Devil’s Peak was the first book, published back in 2004, which was followed 2009's Thirteen Hours, and last year's 7 Days...

Holiday camps – don't knock 'em. In this so-called 'austere' day and age, it's possible to get your very own package deal holiday by scuttling down to your local holiday camp or caravan park. There's the usual quota of kids' clubs, cheesy entertainment and some poor rascal who's being paid jack squat to stomp around in a boiling hot mascot suit on a very hot summer's day. So what with pompous arse George Osborne wielding the axe again, a holiday camp in good old Blighty is less of a financial risk than jetting off abroad.
They've always been popular though – they were hot property in the 1980s, when wonky sitcom Hi-De-Hi was on the telly – another example of a sitcom in which you could play 'Spot The Doctor Who Guest Star'.

LONDON -- Julian Doyle's Chemical Wedding, penned by Bruce Dickinson, frontman for the heavy metal band Iron Maiden, has been nabbed by Warner Bros. for U.K. and Ireland distribution rights.
The film, billed as a supernatural horror thriller, wrapped principal photography Tuesday and stars Simon Callow as a reincarnation of Aleister Crowley, once dubbed "the most evil man in Britain."
Veteran Monty Python second-unit director Doyle is directing the picture, which centers on Crowley, a major Edwardian figure and a scandalous character brought back to life by a shy, stuttering Professor Haddo (Callow).
Focus Films' David Pupkewitz and Malcolm Kohll are producing with Ben Timlett and Justin Peyton of Bill and Ben Prods. and Duellist Film in association with Motion FX and E-Motion.
Andy Taylor, Rod Smallwood, Paul Astrom-Andrews and Peter Dale are executive producers.
Worldwide sales on Chemical Wedding are being handled by Cinema Management Group, headed by veteran foreign sales executive Edward Noeltner.
No financial details were available.
Pupkewitz said Warner Bros. also had a first-look option "on a slew of other territories" for the film should it decide to activate those rights.
