The story’s a backward take on J.M. Barrie’s “Peter Pan” with supernatural elements in which the Pan character’s a villain tracked by police captain named Hook.
The film puts a dark spin on J.M. Barrie’s “Peter Pan,” with Captain Hook as a haunted former police detective in pursuit of a childlike kidnapper.
I, Frankenstein is a modern-day epic: Frankenstein’s creature, Adam, has survived to present day due to a genetic quirk in his creation. Making his way to a dark, gothic metropolis, he finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans.
Official: Set in a dystopic present where vigilant gargoyles and ferocious demons rage in a battle for ultimate power, Victor Frankenstein’s creation Adam (Aaron Eckhart) finds himself caught in the middle as both sides race to discover the secret to his immortality. From the creators of the hit supernatural saga, Underworld, comes the action thriller I, Frankenstein, written for the screen and directed by Stuart Beattie based on the graphic novel “I, Frankenstein” by Kevin Grevioux, and brought to life by a cast that includes Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, Jai Courtney, Socratis Otto, Mahesh Jadu, Caitlin Stasey and Aden Young as Victor Frankenstein.
I was starting to think Lionsgate’s I, Frankenstein wasn’t a real film.
With no images released yet, the studio has unveiled a teaser poster for the comic adaptation that stars Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Socratis Otto, Yvonne Strahovski and Miranda Otto. It looks like Underworld, which is ironic being that it comes from writer Kevin Grevioux.
In theaters January 24, 2014 from director Stuart Beattie, “I, Frankenstein is a modern-day epic: Frankenstein’s creature, Adam, has survived to present day due to a genetic quirk in his creation.

Lionsgate’s 3D post-conversion of Stuart Beattie’s I, Frankenstein might be taking longer than expected. Either that or they need a spring film. Or… they might not like it. Who knows? In all fairness, January isn’t the dumping ground it used to be. Either way the film has moved from September 13th to January 24th, 2014.
In the film, “is a modern-day epic: Frankenstein’s creature, Adam, has survived to present day due to a genetic quirk in his creation. Making his way to a dark, gothic metropolis, he finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans.”
Aaron Eckhart plays Adam Frankenstein in the film based on the graphic novel by Kevin Grevioux, co-creator of Underworld. Bill Nighy, Socratis Otto, Yvonne Strahovski and Miranda Otto also star.
Breaking news folks, Lionsgate is post-converting Stuart Beattie’s I, Frankenstein for a 3-D release on September 13. I had thought the gimmicky post-converted 3-D release platform had died, but apparently it’s “still an option.”
Rob Friedman, co-chairman of Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group, confirmed the conversion to 3D during an analyst call Tuesday following the release of the indie studio’s third quarter results, stated the Hollywood Reporter.
“We’re selective. We do it where we think it’s appropriate for the creative, as well as for the consumer enjoyment,” Friedman told press. Because, obviously, I, Frankenstein is going to be way more enjoyable looking like a pop-up book.
Aaron Eckhart plays Adam Frankenstein in the film based on the graphic novel by Kevin Grevioux, co-creator of Underworld. Bill Nighy, Socratis Otto, Yvonne Strahovski and Miranda Otto also star.
Lionsgate is moving the Stuart Beattie-directed I, Frankenstein from February to a September 13, 2013 date.
Penned by Kevin Grevioux, and starring Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Socratis Otto, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, the pic is an adaptation of a Darkstorm Comic written by Grevioux that brings together classic monster characters, including Frankenstein’s Monster, the Invisible Man, Dracula and the Hunchback of Notre Dame, in a contemporary film noir setting. The Monster, for example, has evolved, learned how to control his anger and now acts as a private investigator. Dracula, meanwhile, is a kingpin of crime, and the Invisible Man is a secret operative.

For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world – Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world’s great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It’s up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they’ve ever encountered before.
Releasing everywhere this Friday is the highly-anticipated sci-fi/action film Battle: Los Angeles, which follows a group of heroic marines as they take on an army of aliens who invade the City of Angels and attempt to wipe out the human population.

In anticipation of the March 11th release of Columbia Pictures’ Battle: Los Angeles, a film about the efforts of a team of military personnel to thwart an alien invasion in the City of Angels, the studio recently staged a press conference with a group of “UFO experts” to talk about both the real Battle of Los Angeles – an intriguing, little-known event that took place in the skies above Santa Monica on February 24th and 25th, 1942 (can you say “anniversary“?) – as well as their own anecdotal experiences with UFO phenomena. See inside for the full story, as related by B-D reporter Chris Eggertsen.

After the disappointing Skyline, we can only hope this alien invasion movie delivers on the action and scares…

A viral video has appeared online for Columbia Pictures’ Battle: Los Angeles that depicts a giant UFO above the 110 freeway in Los Angeles. If this were actually flying in the Los Angeles skyline, I would be driving 100mph just to see it live. Man, this is so only 50% of the greatest viral stunt ever. Can you imagine the panic if this were actually viewable?

Unlike most studios, Columbia Pictures isn’t afraid to share some graphic imagery to get your arse into a theater seat. The studio released the first batch of hi-res imagery from Jonathan Liebesman’s Battle: Los Angeles that feature some pretty insane carnage like seen below. You can click for the full gallery.

March 11th can’t get here soon enough. Previously, Columbia Pictures has released two awesome trailers for Jonathan Liebesman’s Battle: Los Angeles, and we’ve seen even more extraordinary “real life” images from which the movie is based on — but what we’ve yet to see are some truly off-the-charts awesome images. This morning Empire scored a look at two new stills that look straight out of the “Gears of War” video game. Awesome is an understatement. In addition, inside you’ll find a new international poster that continues the theme of the alien “arrival”, courtesy of IMP Awards.

With any alien invasion movie the one question that always stands tall is “what do the creatures look like?” I was kinda hoping to keep my eyes E.T. virgins until March 11 when Columbia Pictures releases Jonathan Liebesman’s Battle: Los Angeles — so much for that.
A new issue of Famous Monsters goes behind-the-scenes of the creation of “alien foot soldiers” with FX house Spectral Motion. If you want to see some heavy spoilers, take a trip indie and enjoy! I can only wonder if these are just some of the “smaller” aliens… what else does Liebesman have up his sleeve?
And seriously, how cool is it that this is kinda based on true events?
My most-anticipated of 2011 list is short, but it does begin with Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Jonathan Liebesman’s Battle: Los Angeles, his alien invasion war flick arriving in theaters March 11. Columbia Pictures has released a second trailer featuring more scares, more aliens and more war. The scariest aspect is that this film is inspired by a true story. Yup. Starring Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Ramon Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan, Ne-Yo, and Michael Peña, for years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world – Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world’s great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected.

My friends and myself have been having fun in the world of conspiracy theories, and this afternoon my buddy Travis sent me this link that details the conspiracy of the 1942 “Battle of Los Angeles”. Doing a little Google search I came across an official Wiki page for the event that writes: “The Battle of Los Angeles, also known as “The Great Los Angeles Air Raid,” is the name given by contemporary sources to the rumored enemy attack and subsequent anti-aircraft artillery barrage which took place from late February 24 to early February 25, 1942 over Los Angeles, California. The incident occurred less than three months after the United States entered World War II as a result of the Japanese Imperial Navy’s attack on Pearl Harbor.” All of the sources display the following newspaper image from the LA Times that is also used on Columbia Pictures’ teaser posters that were posted around this past July’s San Diego Comic Con. So, is Jonathan Liebesman’s Battle: Los Angeles, which arrives in theaters March 11, actually based on a true story? Do some digging – and you tell me.

The alien invasion craze has been nothing short of disappointing thus far, which is why so much depends on the success of Jonathan Liebesman’s invasion war flick Battle: Los Angeles, which looks insanely promising after the impressive second trailer (watch it inside). Today the first official poster was released that teases the arrival of said aliens. In theaters March 11, for years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world – Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world’s great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected.
