Guillermo Del Toro Set To Pen Vampire Novels

IMDB
Moviemaker Guillermo Del Toro can add novelist to his resume - he is set to release a trilogy of vampire stories.

The Hellboy director will collaborate with revered crime writer Chuck Hogan on the three tales, with the first - entitled The Strain - due to hit stores next summer.

Del Toro says, "The idea is epic in scope. The trilogy advances in unexpected ways and each book contains unique and surprising revelations about the history, physiology and lore of the vampiric race, tracing its roots all the way back to its Old Testament origins."

It is not known whether Del Toro plans to adapt the trilogy for the big screen.

Mark Millar Planning Superman Trilogy

by Orlando Parfitt, IGN UK
UK, September 3, 2008 - Mark Millar has once again been talking up his own ideas for new Superman movies.

In a cracking interview with G4, the comic writer had this to say on his own vision for the franchise: "I've had this plan for like 10 years of a big three-picture Superman thing - like a big Lord of the Rings-style epic starting it over from scratch again - a seven-hour Superman story, you know? And hopefully one out one year after the other."

Millar added that nothing was confirmed and that any ideas were dependent on the proposed Superman Returns sequel Man of Steel not happening.

However, he also said that he'd been working on the project with a 'director friend' who is 'a big deal', and that if things pan out shooting will start next summer.
