"A Princess of Mars," from the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs series (11 books in this one!) that mixes Civil War-era adventure, space travel and exotic monsters and damsels. "After 'The Lord of the Rings,' this is probably the last well-known fantasy classic yet to be made," says Robert Rodriguez ("Spy Kids"), who is attached to the $100 million Paramount project.
"Evermere," the first of an envisioned trilogy based on a script by David Goyer ("Blade") and James Robinson of DC Comics, about a teenager who is heir to the throne of an alternate universe. "Terminator 3" producers Mario Kassar and Andy Vajna are on the case, and Sony Pictures is in on the deal.
"Forbidden Warrior," about a beautiful woman with warrior skills who fulfills an ancient prophecy and becomes protector of the world's most powerful book of spells. This one, budgeted at a mere $5.5 million, is in the can - and hails from Cinamour Entertainment, an indie outfit that specializes in horror and soft-core porn.
