Myriad Pictures and comic book publisher Studio 407 will adapt mini-series "The Night Projectionist" for the big screen.

This is the second title produced under Studio 407's first-look deal with Myriad, with an adaptation of the comic book "Hybrid" scheduled to start production later this year.

Premise of "Projectionist" is set at small-town movie theater, where an all-night 'Draculathon' draws throngs of fans, who suddenly find themselves locked inside the theater as it fills up with vampires.

Myriad's previous feature credits include "Death Defying Acts" and "Kinsey."

"I wanted to write a story that would appeal to hard-core vampire traditionalists", said "Projectionist" creator Robert Heske, "while, at the same time, reinventing the genre by adding my own twist to the vampire myth. I was intrigued by the idea of putting the main action of a vampire story inside a theater because that's where most people were introduced to the vampire myth, inside a movie theater.."

"Nostradamus: 2012" - January 4 on History...

"...In 2012, a rare and possibly Earth-shattering astrological alignment is due to occur that will precipitate a cataclysmic event. Whatever is in store -- a massive cosmic collision, a global environmental disaster, an Armageddon-like religious showdown, or a more subtle transformation -- there have been multiple predictions from different times and cultures that December 21, 2012 will mark a major shift in the history of our planet.

NOSTRADAMUS: 2012 takes a detailed investigation of this prophecy in a two-hour sequel picking up where "The Lost Book of Nostradamus" left off.

NOSTRADAMUS: 2012 seeks answers to key critical questions that may loom in just four years: Is there any modern scientific proof that such an alignment will indeed happen? Is any other compelling evidence throughout history that 2012 will be a year of unprecedented, even deadly, upheaval?

There is no disputing that we are a planet in crisis, and that there is a growing public obsession with 2012. But there is no cogent distinction between the sobering facts and hysterical fiction. What, if any, is the scientific ballast that substantiates the fears? NOSTRADAMUS: 2012 will look for the parallels between the nightmarish daily headlines and the 2012 prophecies from Nostradamus and others.

From the mystical realms of the Guatemalan jungles to the high-tech corridors of NASA; from the Hopi elders and Mayan shaman to the most respected thinkers of the modern age; from the symbology of the ancient pyramids in Mexico and Egypt to that of the gothic cathedrals and monuments of Europe -- the 2012 doomsday warning will be cast in a frighteningly modern context. December 21, 2012 is bearing down on us with alarming speed - and whether or not we are able to collectively heed the warnings and affect a course to avert disaster may be the defining moment of the modern age..."
