It appears that FX believes Westerns are in after the network has added the post civil war drama Reconstruction to its catalog. The new show revolves around a civil war veteran who returns to his hometown in Missouri and struggles to rebuild his life. Director Peter Horton hopes to draw parallels between current events such as the recent economic collapse and attempts to rebuild a war ravaged Iraq. This should ad an interesting twist as FX continues to develop more quality programming.
Reconstruction won’t be the only Western to make an appearance on FX. Lawman, a contemporary Western starring Timothy Olyphant follows a Marshall’s attempts to clean up a small town. The show was recently picked up by FX and won’t air until sometime next year. Trailer Embedded below Warning, some strong language.

I'm always ready to see a post-apocalyptic action thriller, even when it turns out to be something like Babylon A.D. Call me an eternal optimist. Even the lousy films often have a kernel of a good idea in them. Now a new film called The Fallout, set in post-apocalyptic New York, will shoot early next year. But I'm already a bit detached from it after reading the directorial assignment. Helming will be Xavier Gens, the man behind Hitman and Frontier(s). Put pretty simply, Gens has two strikes against him in my book. Hitman may have featured Olga Kurylenko's severe allergy to clothes and a heroically stoic good try from Timothy Olyphant, but it was truly a mess. (Granted, the post-production on Hitman was contentious, with reports of Gens being fired from the film.) And Frontier(s) recycled elements of other films in a way that left me bored. »

Whether you're a fan of the "Hitman" movie adaptation or not, there's no denying that producer Adrian Askarieh forged a lucrative film based on the assassin-filled video game — and thanks to that success, Askarieh's setting his sights well past Agent 47.
In addition to "Hitman 2," the producer has plans in the works for adaptations of "Just Cause" and "Kane & Lynch." Askarieh provided gaming website Game Daily with a status update on all three of these projects.
"I'm doing 'Just Cause' right now, which I'm doing independently," the producer revealed. "[We're] going to shoot spring of next year because it's being financed independently and we're going to move like the wind on that. 'Just Cause' is probably going to be shot in someplace like Europe or Puerto Rico, or a combination of the two."
As for who would play the lead role of Scorpion, Askarieh said, "Obviously, we »

Game Daily has posted an interview with film producer Adrian Askarieh about his slate of films based on video games such as a sequel to the 2007 film which he produced, Hitman, Kane & Lynch and Just Cause.
As far as Kane & Lynch go, the producer confirmed the news from this summer that Bruce Willis would play Kane and revealed they are currently seeking their Lynch.
Kane & Lynch will start filming in March of 2010. Bruce Willis will star as Kane, and we're about to start casting Lynch. Lionsgate is the distributor, Millennium is financing and the movie, after two and a half years of false starts, is finally going into production.
Askarieh revealed that Kyle Ward has been hired to write the sequel to Hitman, but it wasn't quite clear if they'd get Timothy Olyphant back, due to his new FX TV series Lawman.

About six months ago, we reported on Jason Statham being cast in the remake of the 1972 action crime-thriller, The Mechanic, about a hitman who takes on an apprentice. At the time there was word that the remake would be a remake in name only, and the story would be changed to a modern-day spy thriller. However, with the latest casting news, it appears the story will be pretty similar if not the same as the original.
Promising news, I say.
Variety is reporting that Donald Sutherland and Ben Foster (Pandorum, X-Men: The Last Stand) are set to co-star with Statham in The Mechanic remake, which is set to be directed by Simon West (Con Air - one of my favorites, Fyi ) from a screenplay by Karl Gajdusek. Foster is set to play Statham’s hitman apprentice, Steve McKenna (the original role was played by Jan-Michael Vincent), and Sutherland will play »
