If you need something different this weekend Dark Shadows opens Friday. It looks to be a fun movie. Thanks to YahooMovies for the trailer:
Going Into the Vault
ICv2 is reporting that Graham King’s GK Films and Johnny Depp’s Infinitum Nihil has gotten the rights to Sam Sarkar’s The Vault. The Vault is a three issue treasure hunting story that is being published by Image Comics. Movies and comics are moving at a fast pace anymore, because the rights, like for The Vault were optioned and the 1st issue isn’t even out or just barely out on stands. It sounded interesting so I am picking it up to read.
Burton & Depp Together Again

Rex Mundi gets Legacy Writers
ICv2’s site is reporting, linked below, that Infinitum Nihil company has hired the Tron: Legacy writers to write the movie adaptation of Rex Mundi. Infinitum Nihil is Johnny Depp’s production company so hopefully this has some steam behind it now that writers have been hired. For those unfamiliar with the story, it is an alternate history story about the search for the Holy Grail in a world still ruled by the Catholic Church.
