The film centres around young hunter called D’Leh (Steven Strait), who has found his heart’s passion — the beautiful Evolet (Camilla Belle). When a band of mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D’Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her.
Driven by destiny, the unlikely band of warriors must battle saber-tooth tigers and prehistoric predators and, at their heroic journey’s end, they uncover a Lost Civilization. Their ultimate fate lies in an empire beyond imagination, where great pyramids reach into the skies. Here they will take their stand against a powerful god who has brutally enslaved their people.
10,000 B.C. is scheduled for theatrical release on the 7th March 2008 in the U.S.

Variety reports that Warner Bros has grand plans for its live action take on Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira, based upon the manga that began in 1982 in Japan’s Young Magazine and finally concluded in July 1990
Rather than just one film as earlier reported, the studio plans to turn the property into two live-action feature films, the first of which is being fast tracked for release in summer 2009. Akira has previously been adapted as a 1988 animated movie directed by Otomo.
Warners has closed a seven-figure rights acquisition deal with manga publisher Kodansha and has set Ruairi Robinson to direct a script by Gary Whitta (Book of Eli). Andrew Lazar’s Mad Chance will produce with Appian Way’s Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson.

David Fincher is attached to direct Black Hole for Paramount Pictures and MTV Films writes Variety.
Plan B and producer Kevin Messick are developing the project that’s based on Charles Burns’ graphic novel. Burns wrote and illustrated the 12-issue series that became the graphic novel over a 10-year period.
The graphic novel is set in Suburban Seattle in the mid-1970s. A strange plague has descended upon the area’s teenagers, transmitted by sexual contact. The disease is manifested in any number of ways - from the hideously grotesque to the subtle (and concealable) and the story paints an eerie portrait of the nature of high school alienation itself - the savagery, the cruelty, the relentless anxiety and ennui, the longing for escape.

I am a little leary of the situation. The truth will come out when, and if the US economy, and the dollar begins to strengthen. If prices remain high, you’ll know someone is lying. Either OPEC doesn’t have the supply they claim they have, or Analysts are incorrect when they say demand has decreased. Personally, I don’t buy the claim that demand has decreased. Population is ever increasing, so, the the demand should always be increasing.
