Also out next month, July 10th on VOD to be precise, is science fiction action movie ARCHIVE starring Theo James and Rhona Mitra alongside Toby Jones. The film which was directed and written by Gavin Rothery, and shot over in Hungarian capital Budapest (the above mentioned Ghosts of War was shot in Bulgaria), has the story set in 2038: George Almore is working on a true human equivalent AI. His latest prototype is almost ready. This sensitive phase is also the riskiest. Especially as he has a goal that must be hidden at all costs: being reunited with his dead wife.

  'THE BLACK VIKING'

  TO BECOME EPIC TV SERIES

The book is currently being sold at Frankfurt Book Fair

Speaking of the news from the epic front, 'Deadline' reports today that Paramount TV and Anonymous Content have bought  the rights to 2013 novel THE BLACK VIKING by Icelandic author Bergsveinn Birgisson which they want to turn into television series directed and produced by Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game, Passengers)! The author himself has led a search for traces of his forefather Geirmund Heljarskinn, one of the most powerful Viking kings in history whose saga has mysteriously disappeared. If I got it right, he got the name BLACK VIKING because he was black when he was born and was such an ugly baby that his mother, a 9th century queen, gave him away to be raised far from her.
