'MORTAL ENGINES' 

PETER JACKSON FINDS HIS LEAD

His Hobbits, Kongs and other movies outside Lord of the Rings weren't exactly great, but Peter Jackson is returning to fantasy world again, as I reported before, with MORTAL ENGINES adaptation and now he has found his lead too in Robbie Sheehan and a supporting actor in Ronan Raftery.

MORTAL ENGINES, to be released in December next year, are set in a world many thousands of years in the future. Earth's cities now roam the globe on huge wheels, devouring each other in a struggle for ever diminishing resources. On one of these massive Traction Cities, Tom Natsworthy has an unexpected encounter with a mysterious young woman from the Outlands who will change the course of his life forever.

'THE LOST CITY OF Z' 

NEW TRAILER AND POSTER!

New trailer and poster have been released for big screen adaptation of THE LOST CITY OF Z which, out this April, tells the true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as "savages," the determined Fawcett, supported by his devoted wife (Sienna Miller), son (Tom Holland) and aide de camp (Robert Pattinson), returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925.

'LOST CITY OF Z' TEASER WITH CHARLIE HUNNAM, ROBERT PATTINSON, TOM HOLLAND! DENIS VILLENEUVE TO DIRECT 'DUNE' AFTER NEW 'BLADE RUNNER'

   NEW 'DUNE' MOVIE TO BE

HELMED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE

I informed you last month that Legendary has bought movie rights on Frank Herbert's sf classic DUNE and now it got Denis Villeneuve for director! He already helmed Arrival sf movie this year and new Blade Runner.

Planned as a movie franchise DUNE is set in the far future with humanity, having spread beyond Earth to countless other worlds, now ruled over by competing feudal families who control access to a drug called Melange. Known popularly as “spice,” the drug gives its users heightened consciousness and an extended lifespan at the cost of crippling addiction and fatal withdrawal. Spice, use of which makes interstellar travel possible, is found only on the desert planet of Arrakis or Dune ruled by the family of Atreides and as such is the most valuable commodity in the galaxy.

 FROM STEVEN SPIELBERG!

Two adventure trailers for you today, beginning with the second one for Steven Spielberg's BFG or BIG FRIENDLY GIANT which will stomp into theatres July 1st!

FRIENDLY GIANT  
The movie tells Roald Dahl's imaginative story of a young orphan girl and the Giant (Mark Rylance) who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country. The BFG brings Sophie to Dream Country where he collects dreams and sends them to children, teaching her all about the magic and mystery of dreams. Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection for one another quickly grows, but Sophie's presence in Giant Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have become increasingly more bothersome. Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see the Queen (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Rafe Spall also stars!

The first quite meh trailer has also been, rather quietly, released for the adaptation of David Grann's book THE LOST CITY OF Z which describes real events, about British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) who made several attempts to find an ancient lost city in the Amazon and finally disappeared in 1925 along with his son in the search for the city.

MARCIA CROSS IS GOD, BRENDAN FRASER PLAYS MULTIPLE CHARACTERS IN 'BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF THE NIGHT'! TOM HOLLAND TO FIND 'LOST CITY OF Z' WITH CHARLIE HUNNAM, ROBERT PATTINSON

 'BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF NIGHT' 

WITH BRENDAN FRASER AND MARCIA CROSS

Some of week's leftover movie news for you today, people, starting with something that sounds more than intriguing: with a brilliant match of Brendan Fraser and our favourite housewife Marcia Cross in BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF THE NIGHT! Written and directed by Dalibor Stach (who describes things that actually happened to him in real life), the movie follows a boy who drowns when he is six years-old and has a near-death experience and then it happens again when he is 18 years old. In the five minutes that he is declared dead the second time, he sees his past lives from before he was born, and his future lives up until the year 3,012. When he comes out of it, he decides to write a book which becomes a best-seller in the Czech Republic.

 As 'Deadline' writes, because of the reincarnation theme, Brendan Fraser plays multiple characters in the past as he finds himself in World War II through the present and future while Marcia Cross plays God. 40% of the cast has had near death experiences.

TOM HOLLAND TO SEARCH FOR 

'LOST CITY OF Z' WITH CHARLIE HUNNAM AND ROBERT PATTINSON

Meanwhile, one of Hollywood's fastest rising stars, young Tom Holland, who literally blew us of our feet with his outstanding role next to Ewan McGregor a few years ago in IMPOSSIBLE and is also the brand new SPIDERMAN, has joined the big screen adaptation of David Grann's bestselling novel LOST CITY OF Z which already has Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller. The movie, which is already shooting in Belfast, follows conscripted soldier and born explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) who disappeared in the 1920s while searching for a mythical city in the Amazon jungles of Brazil that he believed he discovered on a prior expedition.
