Timur Bekmambetov Wants His $800,000 Before Weinstein’s ‘The Current War’ Is Auctioned In Bankruptcy
In a late development before final bids are due Monday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware for the assets of The Weinstein Company, director Timur Bekmambetov and his Bazelevs banner have petitioned the court to block the disposition of either The Current War or Apollo 18 until required payments of $800,000 to his company are made. The read on this from here on the complex filing is that Bekmambetov is positioning himself to be in the first group of creditors to be paid, in a long line of people who are owed money.
Bekmambetov’s big beef (read the filing here) comes down to The Current War, the Alfonso Gomez-Rejon-directed drama that stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Shannon in the titanic battle between Edison and George Westinghouse to sell electricity to America. The film is finished, premiered last Toronto, but is now mired in the Chapter 11. The director has recut...

David Magee was nominated for an Academy Award for his work on Finding Neverland and was more recently recognized for his screenplay of Life of Pi in 2012. He’s got another fantasic book adaptation in his sights in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair, my second favorite of the series of seven books.
Producers for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair include Mark Gordon, Douglas Gresham, Vincent Sieber for The C.S. Lewis Co. and Michele Wolkoff and Sara Smith for The Mark Gordon Co. This all according to THR who quotes David Magee saying the following about his new venture.
I have always loved The Chronicles of Narnia, and I endlessly imagined myself finding my own passage into Narnia someday. All these years later, I’m getting to fulfill that wish just a little bit by writing the film adaptation of The Silver Chair and could not be more excited about it.

When I read The Chronicles of Narnia for a book club I was surprised that I actually had not read them all as I had once thought, and just when I thought I had the formula down for C.S. Lewis’ writing it would take a twist I wasn’t expecting. I’m thrilled that after relatively successful movie adaptations of the first three books, they’re going ahead with the fourth, The Silver Chair. Here’s the official press release.
The C.S. Lewis Company Forges Creative Alliance With The Mark Gordon Company On The Fourth Narnia Film The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Silver Chair The Adventure Begins On The Next Chapter Of The Narnia Journey
Los Angeles, CA (October 1, 2013) – The C.S. Lewis Company has entered into an agreement with The Mark Gordon Company to jointly develop and produce The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Silver Chair, the fourth book published in C.S. Lewis’ famed fantasy series.

A fourth Narnia episode is in the works after The Mark Gordon Company secured rights from the C.S. Lewis Company to jointly develop and produce The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Silver Chair.
The fourth instalment in the fantasy series comes after the first three film versions grossed more than $1.5m worldwide. Walden Media held rights to the first three films and collaborated with worldwide distributor Disney on the first two, 2005’s The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe and 2008’s Prince Caspian, while Fox took up distributon reins on the third entry, 2010’s The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader.
Box office returns for the films have diminished over the years. The first film grossed $291.7m in North America and $453.3m internationally for $745.3m worldwide; the second grossed $141.6m in North America and $278m internationally for $419.7m worldwide; and the final entry mustered $104.4m in North American, $31.3m internationally and $415.7m worldwide.

I’m sure that none of you have forgotten the first film in The Chronicles of Narnia series. It featured Liam Neeson as Lion/Christ figure Aslan, and Tilda Swinton as a Witch. There may have been wardrobe somewhere in there too. But it has been a while since the last chronicle in The Chronicles of Narnia; so long, in fact, that you might be forgiven for thinking that we’re unlikely to see the complete adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ Christian-themed fantasy series. You would be wrong though, as word has it that The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair has gone into development.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair is finally being developed by the C.S. Lewis and Mark Gordon companies. The film will be based on the next book in the Narnia series, following The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. After an extensive press release extolling the...

You may not guess by looking at these two, but in a movie about Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse, sparks will fly.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov is developing plans to direct The Current War, a historical drama pitting the two titans of industry against each other at the dawn of the age of electricity as both competed for control of the American power grid.
Written by playwright Michael Mitnick (The Sex Lives of Our Parents), the script was featured on the 2011 Black List of Hollywood’s best unproduced screenplays. That is, until a lightbulb went on over...

Although Chronicle 2‘s probably at the forefront of his creative mind, Variety reports that Max Landis, ever the hard worker, just keep selling ideas — this time, to Timur Bekmambetov. He — along with Michele Wolkoff and Landis himself — will produce the writers’ pitch, Woogles, an “edgy family adventure” story set to be written by Nick Antosca and Ned Vizzini (MTVeen Wolf). The director is financing with his company, Bazelevs, who are also doing effects work through Cgf.
If you, like I, are interested in knowing more, please be patient. To tide you over with a little more Landis, read this story about another genre pitch he’s made. The guy’s not going anywhere.

Sci-Fi fans, we have some great news for you. Stephen Tunney's young adult novel One Hundred Percent Lunar Boy is set to be adapted by Timur Bekmambetov's Bazelevs banner. Variety reports that feature film rights have been acquired and Edward Ricourt (Now You See Me) has been hired to adapt.
The book combines "a visually inventive world with a powerful coming-of-age story about a boy finding his place in the universe. Set 2000 years in the future, novel's protag is 16-year-old Hieronymus Rexaphin, who lives on the now-colonized moon, where he meets a girl from Earth who is inexplicably drawn to him because of his special--some say dangerous--condition, which gives him the ability to see the future path of time and matter." This is a pretty awesome ability to have, and I can just see how Bekmambetov's visual effects team will be a major asset in bringing this story to life.
