Ryuhei to direct Magdalena

According to Variety Gale Anne Hurd's Valhalla Motion Pictures and Platinum Studios have tapped Ryuhei Kitamura (Midnight Meat Train) to direct Magdalena. The film is based on a comicbook character from Top Cow.

Holly Brix will be writing the screenplay. Starring in the film will be Jenna Dewan (Magdalena) and Luke Goss.

The Magdelena character first came on the comicbook scene in 1998. She is a descendant of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. Magdalena can look into the heart of humans and offer them the choice of redeeming their sins.

Never read the comic, so not sure whether this will be any good. Any Magdalena fans out there? I know a few of you will be pleased to see Luke Goss on the big screen again.

K.I.T.T.'s Cave from Knight Rider

I know it is not a movie (there was a feature pilot though), but I was a fan of the original Knight Rider. Here is a photo of K.I.T.T.s lab / cave from the forthcoming series. SCI FI have news on the series.

In the center of the set, on a rotating metal platform, sits the $75,000 2008 Ford Mustang GT500KR itself. When K.I.T.T.'s ready to go, it revs up and speeds down a tunnel inside a soundstage. "They don't let me drive it very much, but I get to sit in it, and it's pretty comfortable," admitted star Justin Bruening, who plays Mike Tracer, the ex-soldier who is the human companion to the super-intelligent talking car voiced by Val Kilmer. (Tracer acquires the codename "Michael Knight" in the show's first episode.)
The computers in the K.I.T.T. Cave are inspired in part by futurists at Microsoft, executive producer Gary Scott Thompson said. "We met with their technology people to see what they have coming up, and we were surprised that we were actually coming up with ideas that they weren't going to be doing for another 10 or 20 years or so. But we used some of their ideas." Among the high-tech gadgetry: tables that that can download information from a telephone or computer set on top of them and computers that can manipulate images at the flick of a finger.

On the day of SCI FI Wire's visit, the "attack car" version of K.I.T.T. sat outside the studio. It's the armored, battle-ready version of the Mustang into which the regular K.I.T.T. morphs.

The Random

M. Night Shyamalan to produce instead of direct?

Michael Rymer, director on Battlestar Galactica, is due to direct the Witchblade movie.

The Sun are saying there could be a Top Gun 2. This time Tom would be the instructor to a young hot headed female pilot.

Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond) is saying he'll be playing Thulsa Doom the early years in a Conan spin off. Thulsa was the bloke James Earl Jones played in the Milius movie.

Japanese director, Ryuhei Kittamura, will be remaking his classic Zombie Kung-Fu movie, Versus, in America. The original was a piece of cinematic genius and he promises the remake will be bigger, better and gorier.

Discuss in the forum.
