Director/producer Brent Ryan Green has optioned the exclusive film and television rights to develop and produce an adaptation of “King Raven,” a trilogy of historical novels by Stephen R. Lawhead. The books set the tale of Robin Hood in the late 11th century amid the Norman invasion of Wales.
Steeped in lore and the political intrigue of medieval Britain, Lawhead presents a historically plausible origin story for Robin Hood. Each title within the series is told from the viewpoint of a member of the Sherwood Forest clan in an entirely new setting.
The trilogy follows the journey of a young Welsh noble, Bran Ap Brychan, as he’s met with the trials and obstacles that craft him into King Raven, better known as Robin Hood.
Green has been credited on more than 70 film and television projects during his nearly 20 years in the industry. Past projects range from box office...

Michael Greyeyes, Chaske Spencer, Jesse Eisenberg, Kate Bosworth star in the pic, which will get a theatrical release later this year.
The plot of Corbine’s screenplay revolves around Makwa, a young Anishinaabe boy. He often appears at school with bruises he says he got falling down, but no one believes him. He and his only friend, Ted-o, like to escape by playing in the woods, until the day Makwa shockingly murders a schoolmate. After covering up the crime, the two go on to live very different lives. Now, as adult men, they must face the truth of what they have done and what they have become.
Greyeyes and Spencer star as the adult Makwa and Ted-o, respectively. Newcomers Phoenix Wilson and Julian Gopal play Makwa and Ted-o as boys.
Thomas Mahoney, Corbine and Eric Tavitian produced the pic, which was executive produced by Céline Dornier, Frédéric Fiore, Katy Drake Bettner, Niraj Bhatia, Joel Michaely, Raphael Margules, J.D. Lifshitz, Adam Margules, Lesli A. Masoner, Dan McClung, Adriana Banta, Jake Carter, Eisenberg, Heather Rae, and Brent Ryan Green. It hails from Logical Pictures, 30West, Om Films, Boulderlight Pictures, mm2 Entertainment and PurePlay Entertainment.
“When we first saw Wild Indian at Sundance this year, we were struck by first-time writer-director Lyle Mitchell Corbine Jr’s masterful handling of such an intimate story and the captivating performances from the entire cast,” said Rich Goldberg, co-president of Vertical Entertainment. “We are so proud to be partnering with the whole filmmaking team to bring this affecting film to audiences later this year.”
Vertical’s Peter Jarowey and Josh Spector negotiated the deal with 30West and Endeavor Content.

"When I was young, I fought to survive. But with time, everything changed..." Vertical Entertainment has debuted a trailer for an action film titled The Veil, set in a "war-torn land where tribal factions live in fear of annihilation." Cuban actor William Levy stars as a deadly warrior who is betrayed and left for dead by his own tribe. He is healed by a mysterious princess and taken in by a secret tribe, only to go back and wage war against his own people. This seems like one of those cliche "tribal battle" movies that doesn't have much to offer. The cast includes Serinda Swan, William Moseley, Nick Tarabay, Adam Gregory, and Billy Blair. I don't feel like anyone actually watches these kind of action movies anymore, but what do I know? Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Brent Ryan Green's The Veil, direct from YouTube: Set in...

Eliza Hittman (was love at first sight for her directorial debut It Felt Like Love) and Yung Chang (a docu-helmer best known for the award-winning portrait of modern China in Up the Yangtze) are just two of the dozen folks/projects invited to the upcoming Sundance Institute 2015 January Screenwriters Lab. The labs work as a testing ground of sorts, with Lab Director Ilyse McKimmie seeing to it that the screenwriters are mentored by filmmaking professionals. I’d wager that a good portion of these projects on paper eventually make it onto the big screen (say about 65 to 70 percent) and about 35-40 percent break into the actual Sundance Film Fest. Not unlike her debut picture, Hittman’s potential sophomore pic Beach Rats features NYC borough backdrop and via a teenage vantage point but is sure to stir the pot with tad bit more destruction. After Up the Yangtze, China Heavyweight, and The Fruit Hunters,...
