'ADA LOVELACE' BIOPIC
ON BYRON'S GENIUS DAUGHTER Something entirely different: Monumental Pictures' biopic on Romantic
poet Lord Byron's Victorian mathematician and computer science
visionary daughter countess ADA LOVELACE! As 'Deadline' reports, Shawn Slovo is
set to write a movie about Ada, a gifted mathematician who foresaw the
possibilities of first computer designs and wrote what is recognized as
the first algorithm intended to be carried out by a machine, a true
visionary of the modern computer.
Her personal life was more complicated, dominated by her controlling
mother who, after she divorced Byron soon after marrying him, denied her
daughter any creative outlet in the hope that she would not take after
him. As well as her lust for scientific innovation, Lovelace had a
passion for parties and gambling and tragically died never seeing her
ideas realized.
CASTS JESSICA MCNAMEE AND FAN BINGBING IN SHARK MOVIE

Jason Statham will be a former Navy captain and expert diver, who has actually faced this massive shark before years earlier and was forced to abort and abandon half his crew. Megalodon was able to kill a T-Rex in matters of seconds.
'BRITANNIA' EPIC TV SERIES
STANLEY WEBER, DAVID MORRISSEY JOIN KELLY REILLY
I've already told you earlier this year that British Sky is preparing Roman era set historical series BRITANNIA and now the news arrives that US Amazon will co produce it with them! The ten episode series will star Kelly Reilly alongside The Walking Dead‘s David Morrissey with Zoë Wanamaker (Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone) and Stanley Weber (Outlander) also in the cast.
The story is set in 43 A.D. and charts the Roman invasion of what
would become Great Britain. The determined, yet terrified, Roman
Imperial Army returns to crush the Celtic heart of BRITANNIA, a
mysterious land ruled by wild warrior women and powerful druids who can
channel the forces of the underworld.
Reilly and Wanamaker play arch-rivals Kerra and Antedia who must set
aside their differences to combat the invasion, led by the towering
figure of Aulus Plautius (Morrissey). Hugo Speer, Nikolaj Lie Kaas,
Stanley Weber, Eleanor Worthington Cox and Ian McDiarmid will all star
as well.
RAMI MALEK TO JOIN
'PAPILLON' REMAKE?
Remember how some time ago I told you that Charlie Hunnam will take over Steve McQueen's role in the remake of PAPILLON? Now, 'Deadline' reports that Rami Malek will take over Dustin Hoffman's role!
The original film was based on the memoirs of convicted felon and
fugitive Henri Charriere. He was a petty criminal from the Parisian
underworld who was unjustly convicted of murder in 1930s France. He
staged an epic escape from Devil’s Island, a notorious penal colony in
French Guiana in South America, aided by quirky counterfeiter Louis Dega
who is supposed to be played by Malek. Their relationship starts with
Charriere providing protection for Dega from fellow thug inmates and
grows into a bond, then Degas agrees to finance Papillon’s prison
escape. The remake will be set in modern times.
Yet, another of Disney animated movies to get a live action movie version will be MULAN! It has been announced that their hit animated movie from 1998 will become a feature movie based on the Chinese legend of a young woman who pretends to be a man so she can follow in her father's footsteps and join the army! Chris Bender and JC Spink are set to produce! Wei Zhao played MULAN in a 2009. Chinese epic movie!
