James Patterson is one of the most successful authors of his generation, with an enormous catalog of intense thrillers and gripping mysteries that are all different but equally exciting. His stories are the perfect material to be transformed into movies and TV shows: usually standalone adventures, with a central mystery that drives the story forward with fun characters and interesting locations. The writer is best known for his character Alex Cross, who's been adapted several times on the small screen.

Patterson has been writing novels since the late 1970s, since when his output has only gotten more impressive. He has one of the largest bibliographies of any living author, with huge amounts of stories that cater to wildly different audiences. As such, many of his best works have been picked up for TV shows and blockbuster movies throughout the years. While most haven't been able to capture the magic of the original story,...

Tagline: "Pass on the Curse within 47 Hours or Die!" 47 Hours to Live is set to release this March. The film's first trailer came out in September of last year. Since then, 47 Hours to Live has gone on to appear at several theatrical events, including one recently in Colorado. The film's story involves a killer app' and if you don't pass on this curse, in 47 Hours, then you will die. This indie horror title stars: Allie Marie Evans (Maximum Ride), Annie Hamilton, Alexandra Deberry and Tom Proctor. The latest release details on this title are available here. The filmmakers, including some of the writers, have put out some of their thoughts on the current state of theatrical movies. They mention the declining box office returns: "the 2019 box office is down nine percent from last year (Film Bureau)." Fewer and fewer people are heading out to theatres, to consume movies.

Tagline: "You'll Be Dying to Play this Game." 47 Hours is an indie horror movie from director Patrick Johnson (The Crushed). The film focuses on a strange internet game, that is uploaded to two girls' phones. Once downloaded, the game forces the two girls to play a supernatural game. There are no shortage of murderous app' horror movies. But, this latest one has been compared more to "13 Reasons Why" and "Stranger Things," by the filmmakers. Starring Annie Hamilton (Desolate), Allie Marie Evans, Luke Shelton and others, this title has already had its World Premiere earlier this month and Artist View Entertainment will show the film, through a wider release, later this year. The film's early details are hosted here. Producer Andrew Stevens has talked about the film, this year. He introduces the film as "a post millennial, female-driven, psychological thriller with horror elements (B Movie Nation)." Stevens also mentions...

Maximum Ride boasts a sensational cast of up-and-coming talent including digital influencers such as Allie Marie Evans (Vanity), Patrick Johnson...

If any of you knew that there was a Maximum Ride movie floating around out there and didn’t tell me, I’ll have you know I’m mad about it. Not like I’ve been following this series for years. And I’m especially mad, given how hilariously awful the first trailer for said movie looks.

I’m still having a hard time believing a Maximum Ride film, directed by someone named Jay Martin, actually exists, given that this property has been in development hell for over a decade, with people like Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke trying to make it happen along the way. There were once plans to do it as a web series, but that idea obviously changed course somewhere in the midst of development (perhaps as Paramount watched shows like Community and Sin City Saints send Yahoo Screen down the tubes).

Based on this trailer, Paramount...

"So what do we do?" "We fight!" Paramount has released a trailer for the young adult sci-fi adaptation titled Maximum Ride, directed by Jay Martin, about six orphan kids who are genetically cross-bred with avian DNA. This gives them the ability to fly, and they band together to figure out the "diabolical, scientific secrets of how they came to exist". Yep, it's as bad as it sounds. Starring Allie Marie Evans, Patrick Johnson, Lyliana Wray, Luke Gregory Crosby, Gavin Lewis, Tetona Jackson, Zayne Emory, Peter O'Brien & Carrie Wampler. As expected, this looks very cheesy and designed specifically for the "young adult" audience, so tread carefully. The effects don't even look good and the villain seems pretty awful, too. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) Jay Martin's Maximum Ride, direct from YouTube: Based on the phenomenal, bestselling book series by James Patterson, Maximum Ride is the extraordinary journey of six...
