Adaptations

World War Z has begun screening across the United States, and given all the negative buzz surrounding the movie's trials and tribulations, you may find yourself pretty damned surprised at the reactions Hollywood, fans, and critics are having!

As we told you exactly a week ago, Roth Films teamed up with Jane Startz Productions to acquire film rights to Soman Chainani's fantasy novel The School for Good and Evil, and now they have a studio involved.

Today Paramount released the final one-sheet for Wolrd War Z, and rather than start from scratch, they've adopted the international poster and changed it a bit for us gringos. Can't blame 'em. It's a damned fine piece of art.

The news that eBook pioneer Stephen King is opting out of releasing his upcoming Joyland in eBook form, instead throwing his support behind brick-and-mortar booksellers, is surprising. A change of heart from the man who stood onstage with Amazon’s Jeff Bezos to introduce the Kindle 2?

Three more TV spots for World War Z have risen from the grave to quickly climb atop the rest of the stuff we've seen from the flick thus far, and who knows how high this mountain of the living dead will grow!

Just when you think you know it all, a new TV spot for World War Z shows up to remind us that anarchy and chaos are always waiting right around the corner. Zombies being involved is just a bonus!

Things just have a way of happening, man. You meet someone. You kill them. You bury them in your yard. Sometimes no good can come from engaging in human contact. That's why we try to never leave the Dread Central offices.

With Tom Holland's adaptation of Stephen King's The Ten O'Clock People currently making the sales rounds at Cannes, word has come that Chris Evans (Captain America, Snowpiercer) is in talks to replace Justin Long, who had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict.

It's been exactly a year since we last had an update on Jim Mickle's (Stake Land, We Are What We Are) adaptation of the Joe R. Lansdale novel Cold in July, but with Cannes in full swing, news has come that filming is set to begin in late July with an early 2014 delivery.

Cannes isn't the only place news is happening this weekend. Big things are going on at the Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters as a massive casting update has arrived that just about doubles its total enrollment thus far! Read on for the details.

On May 30th Paramount Digital Entertainment and Phosphor Games Studio will release World War Z the game for iOS and Android devices. Players will be dropped into a world of chaos with over 28 levels that will offer intense combat and engaging puzzles. The plan is simple--fight to survive!

Fantasy is all the rage these days, and Roth Films has taken note. Fresh off of having produced Oz: The Great and Powerful, Deadline reports that the production company has teamed up with Jane Startz Productions to acquire the rights to the fantasy novel The School for Good and Evil.

Since the success of The Cabin in the Woods, we've been waiting patiently to see what director Drew Goddard would be up to next. It sounds as if he may just have found a project that he can sink his teeth into. Read on for details.

With so many haunted houses, why shouldn't the air above us be equally as haunted? This avionic phenomenon is explored in the latest adaptation that's looking to send shivers down our spines. Read on for the first details of Departure.

Time for some new eye candy from Divergent, the new flick based on Veronica Roth's young adult trilogy of the same name. So what are you waiting for? Put yer clothes on backwards and... well, you know the rest!
