Hannibal Classics and Patriot Pictures have unveiled the first international trailer to the Nicolas Cage-led WW2 disaster tale "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage". Mario Van Peebles helms from a script by Cam Cannon and Richard Rionda Del Castro.
Cage plays Capt. Charles Butler McVay, whose ship was torpedoed in the South Pacific in July of 1945 after delivering parts for the first atomic bombs.
Without an escort and not reported missing until four days later, only 317 of the 1,197 crewmen aboard survived as the rest either went down with the ship or died from exposure, dehydration, saltwater poisoning or shark attacks. McVay was court-martialed, then exonerated more than half a century later.

Hannibal Classics is developing "U.S.S Indianapolis: Men of Courage", a $30 million "action-oriented homage" about the crew of the infamous ship which was torpedoed by a Japanese sub, with hundreds of sailors dying in the shark infested waters while they were adrift and awaiting rescue.
Just yesterday came word that Warners is moving forward with their own film about not just that story but the unjust court martial and eventual exoneration of the ship's captain, Charles McVay, thanks to a school kid's investigations into the incident.
Cam Cannon and Richard Rionda Del Castro penned the completed script of the Hannibal film which they say will not deal with the consequences after the incident or McVay's fate. Rather it's a "testament" to the crew of the ship and "their will to survive in the face of certain death" they tell Variety.

Get ready to return to Amityville for The Amityville Legacy 3D. Hannibal Classics announced that a spin-off of the original Amityville Horror is being being developed. The new film will be based on the book "Amityville: The Evil Escapes" by John G. Jones. This same book has served as an inspiration for some of the sequels). Richard Rionda Del Castro, Paul Mason (co-producer of the 2005 remake) and Steve B. Harris are set to produce the film. Andrew Helm and Harris are scripting with filmin to begin this fall for a 2012 release.
The original film freaked me out. I have never seen the 2005 Ryan Reynolds-starring remake, but have heard good things. I have a feeling that every classic horror film will get the remake/reboot treatment in 3D. I personally wish they would come up with new films, but this may turn out to be interesting.
