http://collider.com/eli-roth-harker/178888/The Dracula re-imagining Harker looks like it’s finally moving forward, but a director change has been made. In February of 2011, Orphan director Jaume Collet-Serra came aboard to helm the Warner Bros. pic, which follows Scotland Yard detective Jonathan Harker as he tries to track down that pesky Dracula. Russell Crowe joined the project this past February, but now Eli Roth looks to be making a return to the director’s chair as he’s poised to take over from Collet-Serra. Hit the jump for on Roth’s bloody return to the big screen.
Per Deadline, Warner Bros. is keen on fast tracking Harker, and Collet-Serra has has his plate full with the Liam Neeson actioner Nonstop, among others. Thus, Roth is now in talks to take over the director’s chair and helm a bona fide vampire pic of his own. While it was previously reported that Crowe would be playing Harker, Deadline notes that he’ll actually be taking on the Dracula character instead. This marks a sort of streak for Crowe, as Dracula will mark yet another iconic role for the actor in addition to the upcoming Noah, Les Miserables, and Man of Steel.
As for Roth, he hasn’t helmed a feature film (excluding his short seen in Inglourious Basterds) since 2007’s Hostel: Part II. He’s currently working on the Netflix series Hemlock Grove, but Harker should prove to be meaty material for the horror veteran. Warner Bros. is hoping that Harker is the first film in a franchise that will see the detective getting his sleuth on in future installments. Crowe’s deal is only for the first film, so presumably Harker would be tracking down other creatures of the night. With the large-scale Noah getting ready to begin production in a matter of weeks, the hope is now for production on Harker to get underway next year.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=92463While Twentieth Century Fox doesn't have a big presence at the San Diego Comic-Con this year, Deadline reports that there is still news about three of their comic properties.
The site says that, as was previously rumored, Chronicle director Josh Trank is now officially set to direct the Fantastic Four reboot at the studio. They add that production would start on the film after The Wolverine and the untitled X-Men: First Class sequel wrap.
We had also heard rumors that director David Slade had dropped out of directing the new Daredevil movie and that appears to be confirmed now. "The studio has a script it likes, but has to get the film into production by fall or risk losing the property back to Marvel Studios and Disney," says the site. Slade couldn't make the timing work because he's directing the "Hannibal" series pilot for NBC.
http://collider.com/joe-cornish-rust-2/179564/Attack the Block director Joe Cornish is now set to direct an adaptation of Royden Lepp’s sci-fi novel Rust for 20th Century Fox. Cornish made his feature directorial debut with last year’s excellent sci-fi pic Attack the Block, and now it looks like one of his future projects will be a feature iteration of the Lepp’s E.T.-style story. The project has been in development for a while, as Fox set The Devil Wears Prada scribe Aline Brosh McKenna to pen the screenplay last July.
News of Cornish’s involvement with Rust comes via Deadline, but it’s unclear where Rust fits into his schedule. He recently signed on to write and direct an adaptation of Neil Stephenson’s bestselling novel Snow Crash, but a timetable for that highly anticipated project is unknown. In addition to Attack the Block, Cornish co-wrote Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin with Edgar Wright and Stephen Moffat, and he’s also been working on the script for Marvel’s Ant-Man with Wright for quite some time.The story centers on a boy with a jetpack named Jet Jones who crashes into a family farm in the American heartland after being chased by a decommissioned war robot. The eldest son of the family that owns the farm not only has to work to keep the farm alive during the war, but now must deal with the mysterious jetpack boy whose past secrets may or may not be the key to the family’s survival. Hit the jump for more.
