Pride and Predator

This looks freaking fan-tabulously ridiculous! Elton John is co-producing a film called Pride and Predator, which drops a murderous alien into the middle of a normal costumed Jane Austen period piece!

Variety has the details

Elton John’s Rocket Pictures hopes to make the first Jane Austen adaptation to which men will drag their girlfriends.

Will Clark is set to direct “Pride and Predator,” which veers from the traditional period costume drama when an alien crash lands and begins to butcher the mannered protags, who suddenly have more than marriage and inheritance to worry about.

Shooting will begin in London later this year. John exec produces, and his Rocket partners Steve Hamilton Shaw and David Furnish are producing.

“It felt like a fresh and funny way to blow apart the done-to-death Jane Austen genre by literally dropping this alien into the middle of a costume drama, where he stalks and slashes to horrific effect,” Furnish said.

John will supervise the music, as he does in each Rocket-produced film.

The trailer for director Will Clark’s previous film The Amazing Trousers:

Nicholas Cage is Know-1-Ng

Or Know1ng or Knowing or whatever. Numbers in the title isn’t cool.

From the director of I, Robot, comes an intense thriller.

In 1959, a class of students bury a time capsule containing drawings of what the children believe the future will look like.

One of these drawings turns out to be a cryptic log of every major disaster for the next 50 years.

Rat Scratch Fever

Rat Scratch Fever is an awesome-looking film due out later this year. It is completed and just needs to get distribution. Creator Jeff Leroy is the man responsible for this wonderful movie.

Brought back from space, an army of giant, mutant rats causes death and destruction for Los Angeles and the world.

The film is my homage to Bert I. Gordon, Gerry Anderson and Ishiro Honda.

How many films have flaming rats flung into the sun? Maybe 40, 50 if we are lucky…
