See the entire poster after the Jump... Synopsis: “I live. I love. I slay…I am content.” - Conan The Barbarian The most legendary Barbarian of all time is back this Summer.

Space Invaders To Invade The Theaters Soon

Get ready for the Space Invaders movie. The classic 1980s arcade game from Taito and Midway, which is ranked as the top arcade game of all time by Guinness World Records, is heading to the big screen courtesy of producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Odd Lot Entertainment’s Gigi Pritzker. The two have teamed up to option the rights and develop the project and are now on the hunt for a writer to come up with a story. One of the first video games, Space Invaders is credited with taking the medium from a sideshow attraction to a mainstream obsession. The shooter game was technically released in 1978 but made its pop culture mark by the turn of the decade. It featured rows upon rows of aliens (or their ships) raining laser death upon a lone player who took cover behind slowly disintegrating blocks. There have been other rumored attempts to develop a film but none has gone anywhere. With Space Invaders, the producers are facing an interesting challenge: The video game doesn’t have a

Warner Bros. Has Found "Undying Love"

Warner Bros. is diving into the deep pool of the vampire genre, picking up Undying Love , a comic book mini-series published by Image Comics. Stephen L’Heureux and Benderspink, run by Chris Bender and J.C. Spink, are producing. Created by Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman, Love mixes up the traditional vampire lore with Chinese monster myths as well as the Hong Kong action genre. The story centers on an ex-soldier who falls for a girl that happens to be a vampire. The only way the two can be together is if the man takes on the vampire who created her, which also means fighting an army of monsters in the Hong Kong underworld. Coker and Freedman will write the script. Jake Weiner is exec producing while Ford Gilmore will co-produce. Benderspink, which recently renewed its deal at Warners sibling label New Line, is eyeing a fall start on the magician comedy Burt Wonderstone, which it is producing with Steve Carrell’s Carousel Prods.
