Elfman Replaced On "The Wolfman"
5 hours ago | www.ohmygore.com/ | See recent OhMyGore news »
Famed "Batman", "Spider-man", "Men In Black" and "Wanted" composer Danny Elfman has been given the boot from the upcoming big budget "The Wolfman" remake according to Cinemusic.net and The Playlist. What's strange is Elfman had apparently already written an entire score for the new horror movie said to be similar to Wojciech Kilar's haunting work in "Bram Stocker's Dracula", however the film's constantly shifting release dates mean that Elfman simply doesn't have the time to stay with the project and finish his work. Instead, Paul Haslinger ("Underworld", "Shoot 'Em Up") has been brought onboard to do the film's soundtrack and no doubt give it a more grungy, rock-based sound. In a strange bit of similitude, Haslinger was a member of Tangerine Dream - the influential 80's electronic... »
'The Hobbit' And 'The A-Team' Cameos In Today's Dailies -- 11/10/09
10 November 2009 3:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
-- Let the speculation begin. "Howling Mad" Murdock actor Dwight Schultz will be showing up for a cameo in Joe Carnahan's "The A-Team," according to a fansite. Hopefully, this means we'll be seeing other cameos from the rest of the team. Who doesn't want to see Mr. T give this young guns A-Team a vote of confidence with a tiny cameo role. Hell, he can leave his gold chains at home if it makes him happy. Schultz is great, but the fans want what they want: bring back T. (The Official Dwight Schultz Fansite, via Cinematical)
-- "Mad Men" producer Matthew Weiner is turning his attention to film now that the latest season is finished. He's now getting set to helm "You Are Here," a romantic comedy that he wrote. Independent financing is already in place and the cast will include the likes of Jennifer Aniston and "The Hangover »

Underworld Director to Go Post-Apocalyptic
10 November 2009 3:04 PM, PST | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Len Wiseman is known to genre fans for his direction of two of the Underworld movies, and to action fans for his contribution to the Die Hard series, Live Free Or Die Hard. According to THR, he's now in talks to direct an end of the world movie based on an untitled pitch that Fox Studios bought from Jeremy Passmore and Andre Fabrizio, the pair behind the script for the Red Dawn remake. According to the THR article, "The project is based on an original idea about a group of people who survive the end of the world and the mystery surrounding how they got to that position." This doesn't sound so original to me (The Stand comes to mind), but they sold it, and God bless them for it.

Len Wiseman Gets Apocalyptic with ‘Nocturne’
10 November 2009 9:35 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Roland Emmerich isn't the only director thinking about the end of the world this year. According to THR, Underworld and Live Free or Die Hard directer Len Wiseman (aka Mr. Kate Beckensale) is also looking to put an end to humanity. His pitch, titled Nocturne, has been picked up by 20th Century Fox. It is based on an original idea about a group of people who survive the end of the world and the mystery surrounding how they got through it. There is no script yet, but the studio is currently shopping the idea around to writers. This makes for three projects in development for Wiseman, who is quickly becoming the next major director with everything to do, and no time to actually do it. After directing Live Free or Die Hard and producing this year's Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, he has had nothing actually get the go-ahead for production. He's »

Len Wiseman Goes Post-Apocalyptic
10 November 2009 5:28 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Len Wiseman, the man behind Underworld and Live Free or Die Hard, has signed on to direct and produce an untitled pitch that Fox has just grabbed the rights to.
Details (and screenwriters!) are scarce, but according to THR, “the project is based on an original idea about a group of people who survive the end of the world and the mystery surrounding how they got to that position. The studio is seeking writers for the project.”
Wiseman is currently in limbo at the moment, with his name attached to Schrapnel and Atlantis Rising, but no project in production. Seeing as how this post-apocalyptic project hasn’t even had the details fleshed out, I’d say we’re more likely to see one of those two projects coming to fruition first, or Wiseman stepping in for another director elsewhere.
I have conflicted thoughts about Wiseman. He seems to straddle a »

Underworld's Len Wiseman to follow end of world with Nocturne
10 November 2009 5:22 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
The end of the world is nigh later this week when Roland Emmerich's new disaster flick 2012 hits the big screen.
It's titled after the year in which the Mayan calendar reaches the end of a cycle, which is interpreted by some as the date for doomsday.
Emmerich is already in talks with ABC over a TV spin-off showing what happens to the remnants of civilisation after the calamity.
And now a new post-apocalyptic project has emerged. Len Wiseman, director of the first two Underworld movies and Die Hard 4, is to helm a thriller called Nocturne for 20th Century Fox, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
It's about a group of people who survive the end of the world and the mystery surrounding how they got to that position.
The project is described as a completely original idea (not a remake, sequel or adaptation) and the studio is seeking writers for the project. »

Len Wiseman Set To Direct Nocturne
10 November 2009 2:53 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
Len Wiseman, rolling on the success of his first three films, Die Hard 4.0, Underworld and Underworld : Evolution, has sold his pitch for Nocturne to Fox. The story follows a group of people who survive the end of the world and investigates the mystery of how they ended up there. At present Fox is searching for screenwriters to script the pic.
Wiseman is currently attached to direct the aquatic military action film 'Atlantic Rising' and a war film set in the future called Shrapnel, though neither of the films have got the greenlight.
Wiseman is no stranger to apocalypse scenes, having worked on creating that look while in the art department for films such as Godzilla and Independence Day. His background suggests, if nothing else, at least the film will look authentically calamitous.

Eminem to return to the movies
10 November 2009 1:23 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Eminem is set to return to the big screen with upcoming horror 'Shady Talez'.
The rapper-turned-actor - who previously starred in biopic '8 Mile' as himself - is preparing to star in the 3D anthology film, his first major movie role since 2002.
The movie is bound to be challenging work for the star, as he will play a different role in each of the three parts of the film.
Speaking of Eminem's acting prowess, music video director Joseph Hahn, who has made clips for the star's tracks 'We Made You' and 'Without Me' said: "Having worked with him so many times, the thing people don't realise is that he's a fantastic actor.
"He actually stays in character on set. He's a method actor, like Daniel Day Lewis."
As well as the film, the musician will also write a four-part comic book series for animators Marvel, to coincide with the release. »

Director Len Wiseman to End the World with Nocturne
10 November 2009 12:30 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Len Wiseman, the man who abused his blue-filter privileges for Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, will follow up 2007’s Live Free or Die Hard with an end-of-the-world flick entitled Nocturne. According to THR, 20th Century Fox has picked up the project based on an original idea about a group of people who survive the end of the world and the mystery surrounding how they got to that position. The project is currently looking for writers for what I have to say is not a bad premise.
As for Wiseman, his other potential projects, including the underwater military action flick Atlantis Rising and the futuristic war movie Shrapnel (why all the killing, Wiseman?), but doesn’t have a go picture. Wiseman has been a non-starter for some potentially major films like a remake of Escape from New York and an adaptation of the popular video game Gears of War.

Len Wiseman to Helm End of the World Thriller?
9 November 2009 10:14 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
He's taken us to the Underworld and back so it makes sense that for his next project Len Wiseman might be exploring the end of the world as we know it for 20th Century Fox.
According to The Hollywood Reporter the studio has bought an untitled pitch about the end of the world with Wiseman in talks to direct and produce [and] is seeking writers. The project is based on an original idea about a group of people who survive the end of the world and the mystery surrounding how they got to that position.
Oddly enough, although THR's story says the film-to-be is "untitled", their headline gave it one ... Nocturne. So, until we hear otherwise, that's how we'll refer to it as well.
As for Wiseman's slate, he's attached to two other pics currently, both of which are military/action oriented -- Atlantis Rising and Shrapnel -- but neither has a solid green light. »

Len Wiseman To Direct Nocturne, Thriller Set After The End of The World
9 November 2009 9:55 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Len Wiseman has signed on to direct Nocturne for 20th Century Fox. We don't know much about this project other than the few little tidbits included in The Hollywood Reporter's announcement piece, so lets look at what we know: Post Apocalyptic: The story is set after the end of the world, and follows a group of survivors. The Twist: The film is about "the mystery surrounding how they got to that position" And before you think this is just another post apocalyptic disaster film, ala 2012, the piece mentions that the film is a "thriller." Original: The pitch is based on a completely original idea (ie not a remake, adaptation or sequel), and no writers have been hired to pen the project, but the studio is currently on the hunt. Who's Involved: Len Wiseman wrote and directed Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, and last directed Live Free or Die Hard. Wiseman is »

Elfman Out of 'The Wolf Man'
9 November 2009 9:25 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
More behind-the-scenes trouble with The Wolf Man, Universal’s much-delayed horror project starring Benicio del Toro? Sure sounds like it.
According to Cinemusic, Danny Elfman, known for the operatic scores of films like Batman, is out as composer of The Wolf Man. He has been replaced by Paul Halsinger, who was part of the 80’s synth-rock group Tangerine Dream. Halsinger composed the scores for the films Underworld, Crank, and Death Race.
It sounds like the latest setback for the project, which has been pushed back four times since its original November 12, 2008 release date. Universal shifted The Wolf Man to February 12, 2009, then April 3, 2009, followed by a move to November 6, 2009. Now it’s due to come out on February 12, 2010, hopefully taking advantage of a good weekend for horror films in recent years.
Joe Johnston, director of The Wolf Man, had been enthusiastic about potentially hiring Elfman as his composer. In a 2008 interview, »

9 November 2009 9:15 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
20th Century Fox has purchased a pitch (presently titled "Nocturne") about the end of the world, with Underworld and Live Free or Die Hard director Len Wiseman in talks to direct and produce.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project is based on an original idea about a group of people who survive the end of the world and the mystery surrounding how they got to that position. The studio is seeking writers for the project.
Wiseman is attached to the underwater military actioner Atlantis Rising and the futuristic war pic Shrapnel, but does not currently have a green light on any project right now.
The trade correctly points out that Hollywood is embracing its cyclical love-affair with disaster/apocalypse themes, with Sony releasing Roland Emmerich's end-of-days pic 2012 this Friday, a possible spin-off survival series based upon the movie in the works, and several other disaster flicks in various stages of development, »
Len Wiseman Gets in on the Nocturne Apocalypse
9 November 2009 9:02 PM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Not to be outdone by Roland Emmerich and his disaster porn fetish, “Underworld” director Len Wiseman is going to try his hand at blowing up the world and leaving behind just a few stragglers to figure out why. Wiseman, who directed the first two “Underworld” movies along with “Live Free or Die Hard”, has sold an untitled pitch to Fox about the end of the world. Well okay, the pitch is said to be untitled, but in their article, THR actually calls the movie “Noturne” in the headline, which, er, doesn’t really mean it’s untitled. Or did THR screw up? I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. Then again, the article also says Wiseman directed “Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans”, when he only produced, so … Anyhoo, about the movie, which may or may not be called “Noturne”. It will be about a group of people who survive the end of the world, »
