Warner Bros. Pictures has signed "In the Heart of the Sea" author and "The Town" co-scribe Aaron Stockard to pen an adaptation of Nathaniel Philbrick's novel "Bunker Hill: A City, A Siege, A Revolution".
Originally set up three years ago as a possible directing vehicle for Ben Affleck, that possibility still remains with Affleck, Matt Damon and Jennifer Todd to produce the film through through their Pearl Street company.
The book deals with the events leading up to 1775's bloody Battle of Bunker Hill in Boston where two-hundred British soldiers were killed and the battle was a turning point in the Revolutionary War. It ultimately gave encouragement to colonists by demonstrating that the local militias could stand up to British troops.
The story centers around 33-year-old physician Joseph Warren who was leader of the Patriot cause. Paul Revere, George Washington, British General Thomas Gage and his successor William Howe...

Abbie and Crane learn about a devilish plot to resurrect Commander William Howe and his army of zombie soldiers to strike fear in the hearts of all of Sleepy Hollow in "Dead Men Tell No Tales." Crane and Abbie enlist the help of recent colleagues, Bones' Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth, to uncover the location of the only weapon that will work against these undead, or "Draugur." The question is, can the two hyper-curious and reality-based characters of Brennan and Booth come into the Sleepy Hollow universe without coming into contact with all the crazy supernatural drama that occurs there every single day?
The answer to that question is an unequivocal yes. Surprisingly, Abbie and Crane have managed to share the screen with the Bones universe not once, but twice. First, when they visit the Jeffersonian Institution in Bones' "The Resurrection in the Remains," and then in "Dead Men Tell No Tales.

Bruce Jenner has filed court papers to throw out the wrongful death suit filed by the stepchildren of the woman killed in an accident in February on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California.
The car crash left one driver, Kimberly Howe, 69, dead and five others injured.
In early May, Howe's two stepchildren, William Howe, 57, and Dana Redmond, 60, filed the lawsuit alleging that the impact of Jenner's SUV "propelled" her into the other lane.
Jenner, 65, responded to the family’s suit stating they lack standing to assert a wrongful death claim because they were "not financially dependent upon the decedent for the necessities of life.

Warner Bros. is looking to develop a big screen adaptation of an upcoming non-fiction book called Bunker Hill: A City, a Siege, a Revolution. The book was written by Nathaniel Philbrick, and the story centers on the battle of Bunker Hill, which is the battle that thrust America into the Revolution in 1775. This is a great story, and I have no doubt it will make for an amazing film.
Deadline says that Ben Affleck could end up directing the film, but as of right now it's not set in stone. I loved what Affleck did with Argo, and I think this would be a great project for him to take on, so I hope he does it. Here's a description of the book, which is set to be released on April 30th.

After taking home the Best Picture Oscar for Argo last month, Ben Affleck is reuniting with Warner Bros. for his next film, Live By Night. And it looks like he’ll be working with them once more to adapt the upcoming book, Bunker Hill: A City, A Siege, A Revolution.
Written by Nathaniel Philbrick, Bunker Hill is due to be published at the end of next month, with the studio acquiring the rights in a high six-figure against seven-figure deal to bring it to the big screen, Deadline report.
The book has been acquired for Pearl Street Films, with Ben Affleck eyeing it as a potential directing vehicle. It’s thought that Affleck is setting Chris Terrio, who also earned an Oscar last month for his Argo script, to pen the Bunker Hill script. And Affleck and Terrio working together once more is definitely something we’d love to see.
