Zombies and ‘Super 8’ Clues in New Clips!
Are you sick of hearing about Super 8 (review) yet? We’ve got an entire week left until release, but at least there’s some fun stuff leading up to June 10.
Paramount has already released about forty variations of the opening train crash sequence, but we just now got our hands on two “fresh” clips from the J.J. Abrams-directed sci-fi horror films that’s great for the entire family. One clip features a heartwarming moment between Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney) and his love interest Alice Dainard (Elle Fanning) as they prepare for their movie shoot. Alice is caked up in zombie makeup. The other clip features Joe’s dad, Jackson (Kyle Chandler), as he attempts to find out where his kid vanished off too. Their super 8 dailies may hold the clue.
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.
