“Two former baseball players, Ben (Jeremy Gardner) and Mickey (Adam Cronheim), cut an aimless path across a desolate New England.  They stick to the back roads and forests to steer clear of the shambling corpses that patrol the once bustling cities and towns.  In order to survive, they must overcome the stark differences in each other’s personalities—Ben embraces an increasingly feral, lawless, and nomadic lifestyle—while Mickey is unable to accept the harsh realities of the new world.  Mickey refuses to engage in Ben’s violent games and longs for the creature comforts he once took for granted.  A bed, a girl, and a safe place to live.

When the men intercept a radio transmission from a seemingly thriving, protected community, Mickey will stop at nothing to find it, even though it is made perfectly clear that he is not welcome.”

The Battery was written and directed by Jeremy Gardner and is now available in the US to rent or purchase on iTunes, Amazon, YouTube, GooglePlay, VuDu, XBOX, Sony Entertainment Network,CinemaNow, Nook, and many on-demand cable services.

Ken Levine started as a screenwriter, so this isn’t unknown territory for him. As for why he decided to take some time off his gaming work, apparently this is a passion project for him and we’re excited to see what he comes up with. At this time, there are no details on the direction the story will take, or if it will more closely follow the original book. While classic sci-fi fans should be familiar with the 1976 movie, starring Michael York, it was based on a book written by William F. Nolan & George Clayton Johnson in 1967.

Previously, Bryan Singer and Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) were attached to direct a remake, but both projects fell through. It’s not known who Warner Bros. has in mind for this latest remake attempt.

Hellraiser: The Dark Watch #5: ”Harry D’Amour may be the new high priest of Hell, but he’s learning quickly that doesn’t promise much in Leviathan’s realm. The Cenobites only follow him grudgingly, and seemingly are acting on orders coming directly from Leviathan… meanwhile, D’Amour’s allies on Earth begin to think Harry has been corrupted beyond salvation by his new position. As Leviathan makes his next move, will the estranged allies be able to rise to the challenge?”

Deadline reports that both David Thewlis and Brendan Gleeson have joined the cast, but did not provide details on who they’ll be playing. Both actors have appeared together in the Harry Potter series, and zombie fans should instantly recognize Gleeson from 28 Days Later.

*Spoiler Warning: We don’t know how much of the plot will be known from the start of the movie, so we felt it necessary to add the spoiler tag. It’s been previously said that the movie will follow a medical school graduate who takes a job at a mental institution where the inmates have taken over and are posing as doctors.

Filming of Eliza Graves will be taking place in Bulgaria. The script was written by Joe Gangemi and Paranormal Activity‘s Oren Peli is among the producers involved on the project.

Jack Paglen is the man Fox will task with continuing Ridley Scott’s new adventure in the Alien universe. Deadline reports that Paglen is currently in negotiations to write the script for Prometheus 2. Previously, he wrote the sci-fi script Transcendence, which is being directed by Wally Pfister for Warner Bros. and will star Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany and Kate Mara.

Presumably, the movie will follow up on the events of Prometheus, but little about the story is known at this point. It was said previously that some of the surviving cast members are signed on for a sequel and will return. Ridley Scott has also expressed an interested in returning to directing, but he’s only on as a producer at this point. It’s probably going to be a while before we hear anything new, but we’ll keep readers posted on any developments.
