If, for some peculiar reason, you are into witches, here's a possible new TV series for you: FX has set Stephen Susco to adapt Robert McCammon's period set horror saga SPEAKS THE NIGHTBIRD into small screen series. The 2002 best selling two volume novel tells the dark and chilling tale about a witch-hunt in the seventeenth century Carolina colonies. The series centres around the main character Matthew Corbet, a clerk of a travelling magistrate who arrives to a Carolina town in 1699 to investigate the appearance of a witch who might not really be a witch but a victim? The novel later on spawned a whole series on Corbet's adventures.

'NIGHTFLYERS' SF SERIES
GETS PILOT ORDER AT SYFY

maverick scientists and a powerful telepath embark on an expedition to
the edge of our solar system aboard the Nightflyer, a ship with a small,
tight-knit crew and a reclusive captain. But when terrifying and

and surviving the journey proves harder than anyone thought.
Two new posters for you today, starting with the first one for World War II movie ALLIED starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard which should hit cinemas later this November around the world also starring Matthew Goode.
Set in 1942, it sees Brad Pitt playing an intelligence officer in
North Africa who encounters a female French Resistance fighter on a
deadly mission behind enemy lines played by Cotillard. When they reunite
in London, their relationship is tested by the pressures of war. I must
admit that poster looks cheap as hell and beyond.

Nicole Kidman plays his adoptive mother with David Wenham as the father. The movie will start its release November in North America, in December in Europe and from January in UK and Australia and Germany.
