Splice, Mandy Lane and Clock Tower Get Tentative Dates
While these dates are FAR from set in stone, here is the tentative line-up for Senator Entertainment. First, the long-delayed and highly anticipated All the Boys Love Mandy Lane could get a theatrical run come July of 2009 (I know you’re skeptical, so am I); the Guillermo del Toro produced, Vincenzo Natali (Cube) directed sci-fi horror flick Splice is aiming for release in September of 2009; lastly, Clock Tower, the big-screen adaptation of the Capcom best-selling survival videogame franchise that will be directed by Martin Weisz, is looking for a 2010 release.

Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
