Camelot Media has set action-adventure film franchise “The Lost Book of Creation.”
Roel Reine will direct the first film of the planned three-film franchise. Matt Hookings (“Prizefighter”) has written the script and will also star alongside Madalina Diana Ghenea. The film follows archaeologists Slade (Hookings) and Eve (Ghenea) as they set out to find the legendary lost Book of Creation, which is believed to hold the secrets of the universe and the answer to why and how humankind exists.
Hookings and Ghenea will be joined by comedian and actor Bobby Lee and Eddie ‘The Beast’ Hall (“Expend4bles”), who won the 2017 World’s Strongest Man competition.
In 2023, Camelot, the company behind Amazon film “Prizefighter,” featuring Ray Winstone and Russell Crowe, secured financial support from Malta Enterprise, who are responsible for the country’s economic development.

As The Seed opens Heather, Diedre and Charlotte arrive at an opulent vacation home in the middle of what is supposed to be the Mojave Desert, (the film was shot in Malta).
There’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower, (where have we heard that before?), and social media personalities Heather and Dierdre think this will be the perfect location for a photoshoot incorporating it. Charlotte who has no social media presence at all just wants to hang out and party with her friends from school. Things become complicated when something falls from the sky and lands in their pool. Not a meteorite, but something alive.
Saying the leads are unlikable would be an understatement. Heather is the kind of famous for being born rich celebrity that makes it...
