DOUG LIMAN TO HELM
'UNEARTHED' SF ADAPTATION
We're going sf today, people, for the end of the week, starting with the info coming from Doug Liman who will direct the big screen adaptation of UNEARTHED sf adventure novel from These Broken Stars authors Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, whose first part is out in bookshops next year.
UNEARTHED is a sf YA thriller described as Lara Croft meets Indiana
Jones, set in deep space. Jules Addison and Amelia Radcliffe join forces
in a tomb raiding race on a newly discovered planet to unravel the
secrets of an ancient, long- extinct civilization ... only to uncover a
revelation that could spell the end of the human race.
'COLD SKIN' THRILLER WITH
DAVID OAKES & RAY STEVENSON
Meanwhile, you can also check out the first poster and first photos from period set fantasy thriller adventure COLD SKIN starring our most beloved Borgias, Victoria and Pillars of the Earth most charismatic star David Oakes and Ray Stevenson. Directed by Xavier Gens (The Divide) it should hit cinemas sometime next year and we are still anxiously waiting for a first trailer! It is based on a book written by Albert Sanchez Pinol!
COLD SKIN has a story set on the edge of the Antartic Circle, in the
years after World War I, where a steam ship approaches a desolate island
far from all shipping lanes. On board is a young man, on his way to
assume the lonely post of weather observer, to live in solitude for a
year at the end of the world. But on shore he finds no trace of the man
whom he has been sent to replace, just a deranged castaway who has
witnessed a horror he refuses to name. The rest is forest, a deserted
cabin, rocks, silence, and the surrounding sea. And then the night
begins to fall...
So I guess nightfall beings out the sexy evil fairies? I bet it does. Annie has some great writing collabs. Right now she released a sequel with Jay Kristoff.
ReplyDeleteAnd These Broken Stars is getting a series at FreeForm
DeleteAmie Kaufman is doing really well with her writing (Yay another Aussie!) so it's great to see UNEARTHED made into a movie.
ReplyDeleteHope they cast Australian actors!
DeleteI love seeing move SF coming out!
ReplyDeletewe do need more of sf around
DeleteBoth of these definitely sound interesting. I didn't know anything about them- so thanks for the info. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
be welcome, the first book is a teensy affair
DeleteI'm still trying to wrap my head around the Laura Croft and Indiana Jones mashup!
ReplyDeleteisn't it the same, just in different clothes?
DeleteCold Skin sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteDavid Oakes can intrigue us any time he pleases so!
DeleteNice! I'm a SF fan, so this is exciting.
ReplyDeleteHope we get a trailer soon!
DeleteHmm, Cold Skin intrigues me. I may have to check out the book first.
ReplyDeleteHope you like it!
DeleteI liked These Broken Stars. Didn't LOVE it, but liked it well enough to continue the series. I bet I'll also like Unearthed.
ReplyDeleteStars are being turned into tv series
DeleteIt better look darn interesting in the previews or I'll be skipping it. I felt the books were dragging quit often, but then I felt too invested in the story to just quit the books. Again, it was just OK. Nothing spectacular but not overly terrible.
Deletequite*
Deleteit is on Free Form, so I wouldn't raise my hopes up, you've seen what they did with Shadowhunters...
DeleteHi Dezzie! I'm really looking forward to ColdSkin - the book was very enjoyable, & I think the casting choices are excellent - especially having seen the set photos shared by David Oakes & Xavier Gens!
ReplyDeleteShould be such a thrill, Dee, watching our David! I never seem to get enough of him! I swear every scene in Victoria hurt me physically when he wasn't in it
