Robopocalypse Author to Develop Amped

Robopocalypse author Daniel H. Wilson is now in final negotiations to develop his best-selling thriller Amped for Working Title Films.

The project was originally set up at Summit, but the property's rights were lost over the course of the studio's merger with Lionsgate.

Set in the near future, the story of Amped takes place in a world where nano tech-enhanced humans and ordinary humans are at war with one another.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City, I, Robot) is attached to helm the feature.

Meanwhile, Wilson's Robopocalypse is getting the big screen treatment from director Steven Spielberg, with a release date set for Summer 2014.

Marvel Teases New Deadpool Series

Any Deadpool fan knows that Wade Wilson is kind of a fan of Tex-Mex food, specifically chimichangas.Well, in their latest teaser -- following hints for new Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk creative teams -- Marvel Comics has unveiled that Deadpool will be getting a relaunch in November as part of Marvel NOW! Unless there's someone else you know that loves chimichangas this much:

Writer Daniel Way is just wrapping up his long stint with Deadpool, so Marvel NOW! seems like the perfect opportunity to do something new with the character. The names that appear on the teaser should be indicative of the direction as well -- it seems that comedians and occasional comic book scribes Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan will be scripting the series with who we assume is fan-favorite creator Tony Moore on art duties.

Chimichangas, anyone?
