Director Matt Reeves (LET ME IN, CLOVERFIELD) will helm THIS DARK ENDEAVOR, based on Kenneth Oppel's novel
which hasn't yet been released. The story follows a young Victor Frankenstein while he is trying to find the three rare ingredients needed to create the Elixir of Life in order to save his twin brother, Konrad, who has become gravely ill. He must turn to his father's The Dark Library to find the secret and ancient formula after which he will scale the highest trees in the Strumwald, dive into the deepest lake caves, and sacrifice his own body part, risking his life to save another.
SHORT HEADLINES *Cary Fukunaga (JANE EYRE) will direct NO BLOOD, NO GUTS, NO GLORY, an action film set in
the Civil War, which follows a spy and 20 Union soldiers in disguise who board a train in Georgia in order to pull off a heist that could bring a quick end to the Civil War. *Vin Diesel has announced at his Facebook page that RIDDICK, the new part of the cult sf saga, could start shooting this summer, but since it will be R-rated (more similar to PITCH DARK than to CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK), he will have to work for less money. The film should also star Karl Urban and will be directed by David Twohy.
