Slowly but surely, the cast of Cinemax’s Quarry is coming together. We’ve already had Logan Marshall-Green cast in the titular role of a Marine sniper, but it takes more than just one man to help sell a TV series. Considering the drastic turn Quarry’s career will take in the pilot, from sniper to hitman, it would be nice to know the people responsible for leading him down that path. Sure, Quarry’s family plays a large part, but it’s the man who takes the time to show him what being a hitman is all about that I’m most interested in. For such an intriguing part you need a versatile actor, such as Noah Taylor.
Set in the 1970s and based on the series of novels by Man Allan Collins, Quarry picks up after the Vietnam War in 1973, when Quarry returns home to find himself shunned...

Exclusive: Warner Bros has acquired the feature film rights to the Mickey Spillane series of mystery novels featuring private investigator Mike Hammer. The deal is a co-production between Film 360 and Thunder Road. The producers are Guymon Casady and Ben Forkner for Film 360, Basil Iwanyk for Thunder Road and Ken Levin, the longtime rep for Spillane’s estate. Spillane wrote 13 Mike Hammer novels solo, beginning with the 1947 book I, The Jury. He wrote another six teamed with Max Allan Collins. Spillane’s Mike Hammer was a prototype for the tough guy private eye, and the studio will try to resurrect the character in an attempt to build an action franchise. What Warner Bros and the producers haven’t yet decided is whether to keep Hammer in the hardboiled period setting of the novels, or turn Hammer loose in a contemporary setting. They will also need to choose one of the books,...

Domino’s has parted ways with its creative agency Bmf after a relationship lasting almost exactly one year, Mumbrella can reveal.
The pizza chain is taking advertising creative and production inhouse, but will work with select agencies on a consultancy basis.
Domino’s appointed the Photon Group agency in May last year, choosing it over incumbent The Campaign Palace after a four-month pitch.
Domino’s Cmo Allan Collins told Mumbrella in a statement:
As Domino’s moves towards being more of an online business, we are now absorbing the majority of the agency function in house. This will allow us to further expedite creative output across all our platforms and retain in house creative expertise on what drives our business forward.
Bmf took on the business with a brief to handle the pizza brand’s above and below the line marketing, and lead strategy for the brand.

More cowboys, but not any aliens, for Harrison Ford coming up. Ford stars in Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens, which hits theaters this weekend, but THR is reporting he's got another cowboy role lined up after. Ford is attached to star as an aging Wyatt Earp in Black Hats, an adaptation of Max Allan Collins' 2007 novel (written as Patrick Culhane) being produced by Thunder Road's Basil Iwanyk & Jason Netter. The project has a screenwriter - Kurt Johnstad (of Zack Snyder's 300, The Last Photograph) - but no director attached yet. It definitely seems like Ford is becoming more of a cowboy himself as he reaches 70 years old. Black Hats blends "fact with fiction" telling the story involving an older Wyatt Earp, the one who spent his last years as a private detective and movie consultant in Los Angeles. But this story's spin involves Earp learning that his friend...

Harrison ford is set to star in an adaptation of Man Allan Collins’ novel Black Hats. It’s going to be written by Kurt Johnstad of “300” and produced by Basil Iwanyk and Jeson Netter. Ford will play Wyatt Earp, a La-based private investigator. He’s hired by the widow of his best friend, who wants him to go to New York to help her son whose gotten in some trouble with none other than Al Capone. The Hollywood Reporter claims that Ford was “sparking to the idea of an old gunfighter with his .45 walking the streets of 1920s Big Apple.” According to the Reporter, Ford is quite choosy with his roles and only says yes if he fully intends on filming. The book was published in 2007 with Collins writing under the pseudonym of Patrick Culhane. In the past, he’s written various Batman stories and graphic novels as well. One of which,...

A mad bastard is the person who drags the net in the deep end, where the crocodiles are… brave to the point of being mad. You could say that a mad bastard is also someone who decides to make a film starting with the actors instead of the script. That would be Brendan Fletcher, with his first feature, Mad Bastards.
The seeds of Mad Bastards can be traced back to 1996, when Fletcher first met musicians Alan and Stephen Pigram, as well as the rest of the family music band The Pigram Brothers. In return for a fishing trip in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, he directed a couple of videos for them.
Over the years they developed a strong personal and professional bond, creating documentaries and even a 10-minute drama called Kulli Foot, which aired on the ABC. That project also put them in touch with David Jowsey, an...

Few films are shot by two cinematographers across two separate shoots. But then few things about indigenous film Mad Bastards are orthodox. The film . which is imbued with the music of the Pigram brothers and Alex Lloyd . follows the journey of .mad bastard. Tj, his estranged and volatile 13 year-old son Bullet, and local cop, Grandpa Tex. The filmmakers' journey, led by writer-director Brendan Fletcher, was innovative and exploratory, characterised by improvisation from a cast of largely non-actors who also provided much of the inspiration for the original story. Allan Collins Acs filmed the first six-week shooting phase while Steve Arnold Acs shot the second three-and-a-half week phase. The cinematographers used Kodak Vision 2 5205 250D with an Aaton...

I spent a lot of time in the “frontier” region of Australia making documentaries and short films over the last 15 years. The people, the landscape and just the harshness of the place — it is just all so cinematic, and I decided fairly early on that I wanted to bring the amazing experiences I’d had and the feeling I’d felt to the big screen.
The northwest of Australia (called the “Kimberley”) is a wide open land on the edge of the desert, and its main industry is cattle. So just like the Wild West in the U.S., it’s basically cowboy country. But right alongside the cowboy thing, the aboriginal culture of tens of thousands of years ago is thriving too.
