World War Z UPDATE!!!!

Matthew Michael Carnahan, who is best known for his screen writing of "STATE OF PLAY" and "THE KINGDOM" has got his hands on the book to movie adaptation of "World War Z". Max Brooks the writer of this awesome novel is very excited to see Carnahan get this out of the hands of Michael Straczynski who was originally the script writer ( you know him if you've ever seen Bablyon 5). Brooks said this about the change: “They say it’s a positive move because they’re very excited, but the truth is, it’s also positive because they just paid him a buttload of money, and [with] the money they paid him, the money they paid Straczynski and they money they’ve paid me, they’ve really dug themselves a deep hole, so they better make this thing!" The movie is being developed by Paramount Pictures and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Production.. more info to come.

Stephen King's Cell becoming a mini-series?1?

John Harrison, the guy who turned Clive Barker's BOOK OF BLOOD is writing a four-hour miniseries based on Stephen King’s CELL. The book where the population of America is transformed into mindless, rampaging killers by a signal sent through their cell phones.Harrison is scripting CELL for the Weinstein Company, which had originally wanted to turn the book into a theatrical feature but decided against those plans and will be presenting the project to networks instead. Harrison has worked on works by King before such as assistant director/composer on "CREEPSHOW" and "TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE" , Harrison also said he considers CELL one of King’s best books. "With an opening chapter that will make an incredible first 30 minutes on screen." He also added that he doesn’t see this as a zombie story but more so as a "VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED-esque chiller" in his words. He also said he enjoys the fact that the infected population possesses a hive-like mentality. While he hasn't been officially said to direct, he would certainly like to. You can log on to Bloody-Disgusting for exclusive video of Harrison discussing Clive Barkers "BOOK OF BLOOD", "CELL" and other projects..
