Release Date Round-up: ‘Skyline’, ‘Dark Fields’ and ‘Sanctum’

Published

We’ve got a trio of new release dates to add to your calendar starting with the highly anticipated alien horror pic Skyline (read our set report), which comes from special effects wizards and AVP: R directors Colin and Greg Strause. Universal Pictures will act as distributor and release on November 12 of this year. Then there’s Neil Burger’s The Dark Fields, the Bradley Cooper, Elizabeth Banks, and Robert De Niro thriller now arriving in theaters January 21, 2011, three months earlier than expected. Lastly, Sanctum 3D (aka The Dionaea House & The Occupants) will begin lensing soon for a February 4, 2011 release. I expect that to shift. Eric Heisserer (The Thing, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Final Destination 5) pens the script for Peter Cornwell (Haunting in Connecticut).

Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.

The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.

Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”

John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.

“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”

Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.

Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
