FilmNation Entertainment, launched by Glen Basner as a foreign sales company, has established a production arm and set Aaron Ryder to run it. FilmNation gets started with two projects, one of which is The Raven, the Hannah Shakespeare/Ben Livingston-penned thriller set in the last days of Edgar Allan Poe's life, when he gets wrapped up in a serial killer investigation. Ryder originated the project at Endgame, which will co-produce and split the development costs with FilmNation, with Endgame financing production. Ryder will acquire properties, with the emphasis on scripts over books and pitches because the development cycle will be shorter, allowing Basner to begin lining up production financing that much sooner. Let's hope for more horror.

	twistedbitch 8:25am, January 6, 2009 I don't think this would be very good as a movie. The book is so much better.
	cynthia82 2:11am, January 7, 2009 I believe this movie remake could be a winner, it just has to have clever writers, producers and a sharp, witty director to get it to be as awesome as the original with Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre, but come to think of it, it would take serious, great,skillful and focused actors of this generation to fill their shoes.
