'ANOMALY' SF EPIC
GETS MOVIE ADAPTATION
Speaking of epic stories, Relativity Media will make a movie adaptation of comic book ANOMALY from Skip Brittenham and Brian Haberlin. An epic adventure set in Earth's distant future, ANOMALY centres on Jon, a disgraced Conglomerate Enforcer, who is
given a last
precious chance for redemption by leading a rag tag group of explorers
on a first contact mission to a newly discovered planet. The mission
turns out to be a deadly trap. Marooned and with all their 
technology
destroyed, the crew must rely solely on their wits to navigate the
treacherous planet and earn the trust of the hostile, incredibly
diverse, warring alien races if they want to have any chance to survive
and get back to Earth. Joe Roth (OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, SNOW WHITE
AND THE HUNTSMAN) is producing. The story is similar to STAR WARS in its
epic scale.

VIKINGDOM EPIC MOVIE
DOMINIC PURCELL IS VIKING KING
Your special Monday treat for today is something from the epic genre: first trailer and posters for VIKINGDOM epic adventure of which we haven't really heard much before even 
though it hits cinemas October 4th! Based on Viking mythology, the action packed historical movie will see TV star Dominic Purcell playing Eirick, a forgotten king, who battles from hell and beyond to retrieve the mystical artefact, Odin's Horn, before Thor, the God of thunder, and his army can unleash its powers to conquer the world. Thor is on a mission to gather the key ancient relics - "Mjolnir" - his hammer from Valhalla, "Necklace of Mary Magdalene" from Mitgard and the "Horn" from Helheim. This needs to be accomplished before the Blood Eclipse, which happens once every 800 years, failing which, the pagan Viking Gods will never be able to rule and conquer mankind ever again.
Only one man can stop him... Eirick, the undead. Thor is here played by Conan (funny, yes? :) Stevens, while the cast also has sexy Natassia Malthe as Brynna and Jon Foo as Yang, Craig Fairbrass as Sven 
and Patrick Murray as Alcuin. The $16 million film is actually Malaysian (go figure) and directed by their helmer Yusry Abdul Halim, but is shot in English.

VIKINGDOM sound Epic. 300 with Vikings?
ReplyDeleteYep, it seems delightfully trashy, doesn't it? :) I like it... I just wish they had better visual effects since it seems they did have brilliant imagination in coming up with the visuals!
Deletehe reminds me of mel gibson in braveheart
ReplyDeletethey probably had the same horrid hairdo stylist :)
DeleteVikingdom sounds good as does The Curse of the Midas Box. Lots to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteyep, it's and epic Monday here and we do love epic more than we like to eat bread :)
DeleteOh dear, Vikingdom looks dreadful.
ReplyDeletein a charming sort of way :)
Delete3 good movies I do not know the when choosing , Midas Box great actors !
ReplyDeleteCheers
I wouldn't know which to pick either, Vincent :)
DeleteThe Curse of the Midas Box sound good. Vikingdom, I'm mixed on- it's the 3D that makes me cringe. so few movies have ever had a decent plot AND 3D. And of course, 3D gives me a headache. :(
ReplyDeletemy daily newspapers just came out today in 3D version with 3D glasses as a gift... I wonder if I will get headaches from it or from the news inside :)
DeleteWait - what? A 3D newspaper? Please tell me you're joking.
Deleteyep, it's true, I still haven't read them, they're waiting for me on my coffee table :) All the pictures in today's issue are in 3D. And they also added a special insert on the dinosaurs also in 3D.
Deletei am in for all these things, when to find the time... wait what time is it?
ReplyDeleteit's already too late for what you've planned, Jeremy :) so better just move onto the movies....
DeleteUnless, you were planning to feed the cat... it's never too late to feed the cat....
I like the sound of Course of the Midas Box. It sounds like a good adventure.
ReplyDeleteme too, hope we get a trailer for it soon, Sherry!
DeleteMariah as a boy name? My daughter is not going to be pleased about that. (Her name is Mariah lol.) It does look good though!
ReplyDeleteit got everybody confused, so they even changed the title of the movie :)
DeleteCount me in for the first two, both of which look like they could be a ton of fun - if done right.
ReplyDeleteDelightful visual treats for sure, Marcy
DeleteNot sure I'm liking the look of Vikingdom, why do they have to Hollywood it all up for gods sake!!
ReplyDeleteoh, Ray, where is your taste for trashy delights? :PP
DeleteI want to see THE CURSE OF THE MIDAS BOX. I'll watch anything with Gruffud.
ReplyDeleteI love him too and don't understand why he went missing from Hollywood after KING ARTHUR and FANTASTIC FOUR
DeleteFrom what I see here (on your so nice blog-of-a-so-nice-blogger), the second movie (Anomaly) looks the more promising !
ReplyDeleteI suppose that the pictures come from the comic ?
If yes (and even if "no"!), I like them!
(I was smiling about me (!) because when you cite the names of Famous Actors, I never know that they exist !! ........err... I must go to the cinema most often!)
yes, the film will be based on a comic book written by the producer of the film. It will be a film of amazing visuals and scale and worldbuilding, kinda like STAR WARS.
DeleteI'm not really a fan of 3D! Most of the time it hurts on my eyes. I hope I can see a normal version.
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
me neither, I even think I'm immune to 3D since I never really see anything special with 3D glasses, they just make me dizzy :)
DeleteYes those 3D glasses are terrible! My youngest gets migraine when he use them!
DeleteGreetings
Peter
... and when wear optical glasses, it's the Hell !
Delete(and if the movie is good, it don't need 3D !!!)
