CHARLIE COX TO TOPLINE

 NETFLIX 'DAREDEVIL' TV SERIES

You've probably heard it already since the news's been out since last night, but Netflix has found their lead actor for DAREDEVIL television series! After choosing brilliant Steven S. DeKnight (who brought SPARTACUS to worldwide fame) for the showrunner of the upcoming 13 episode series on the red leather clad blind superhero, they've also chosen always delightful Charlie Cox (From STARDUST and BOARDWALK EMPIRE) to play the main role. He will portray Marvel's famous crime-fighter Matt Murdock who, blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, fights against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the super hero Daredevil in modern day Hell's Kitchen, New York City.

FIRST POSTER FOR 'BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP' THRILLER WITH NICOLE KIDMAN, MARK STRONG & COLIN FIRTH! 'LOVE LETTERS TO THE DEAD' GETS MOVIE ADAPTATION! ALEX RUSSELL & BERENICE MARLOHE IN 'PRISONER OF WAR' SF EPIC

BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP POSTER

NICOLE KIDMAN WITH MARK STRONG AND COLIN FIRTH

Still not much of movie news to give you, people, so I will entertain you today with the first poster for the big screen adaptation of Stephen Watson's bestselling novel BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP showing Nicole Kidman, Mark Strong and Colin Firth in the lead roles! As you know, since yours truly was one of the worldwide translators of the book, the story follows a woman who wakes up everyday with no memories. She can remember only the things which happen during the day before she goes to sleep so her husband has to explain to her who she is each morning when she wakes up thinking she's in bed with a stranger. Later on a doctor secretly helps her to write down her memories which leads her to a dramatic discovery with a thriller twist (I myself found the twist rather cheap).

LOVE LETTERS TO THE DEAD

GETTING MOVIE ADAPTATION
Another book to be made into a film is Ava Dellaira's debut novel LOVE LETTERS TO THE DEAD which was just opted by Fox 2000. Published last month, the book follows Laurel, a high school student whose beloved older sister has died under mysterious circumstances. Emotionally frayed by the loss, she unexpectedly finds catharsis in an assignment from her English teacher: write a letter to a dead person. Instead of handing in the assignment, though, she begins an ongoing series of letters to an eclectic group of rock stars, poets, and popular icons such as Kurt Cobain, Judy Garland, Amelia Earhart, and Amy Winehouse. She writes to her epistolary confidants about navigating new and complicated friendships, learning to live with her splintering family, falling in love for the first time. Ultimately, the letters reveal the painful truth about her past.

'PRISONER OF WAR' SF MOVIE

 ALEX RUSSELL & BERENICE MARLOHE

One of the movies that was shopped over at Cannes this year is science fiction thriller PRISONER OF WAR from Voltage Pictures. To be directed by Joe Miale, the movie might star CHRONICLE's young Australian actor Alex Russell and SKYFALL's French actress Berenice Marlohe!  The film tells both epic and intimate story of humankind’s last stand against a cataclysmic alien invasion. Set in the war-ravaged African countryside, a U.S. soldier and a French foreign aid worker team up to survive the alien onslaught. As they journey through the battlefield in search of refuge, their bond will be tested when the soldier discovers his true identity.

RED BAND SOCIETY TRAILER

OCTAVIA SPENCER AND DAVID ANNABLE IN TOUCHING SHOW

And speaking of TV, here's the first trailer for Fox new hospital set coming of age show RED BAND SOCIETY which will start airing this Fall! Coming from Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television and starring Academy Award Winner Octavia Spencer and BROTHERS AND SISTERS star David Annable, RED BAND SOCIETY will be a provocative, inspiring and, at times, comedic young ensemble drama told through the eyes of a group of teenagers who meet as patients in the pediatric ward of Ocean Park Hospital in Los Angeles.

RED BAND STORY

What if a hospital was your high school, boarding school and summer camp rolled into one? What if it was the place where you fell in love for the first time and made friendships that lasted a lifetime? And what if it was all weirdly hilarious and the most fun you ever had in your entire life? This is the world of RED BAND SOCIETY. The pediatric ward is run by Nurse Jackson (Octavia Spencer), a caregiver with a take-no-prisoners approach to getting these kids through the most difficult part of their lives. Overseeing much of the treatment in the ward is DR. Jack McAndrew (Dave Annable), the country's top pediatric surgeon.
