Starz Takes A Look @ "Twilight Eyes"

According to Starz, the network is prepping to develop a new series adaptation of author Dean Koontz' 1985 'psychic' novel "Twilight Eyes".

"Twilight Eyes" introduces a character with the self-appointed name, 'Slim MacKenzie', who uses 'psychic powers' to hunt down 'Goblin' monsters, with the ability to shape shift and 'mimic' human beings. Throughout the book, Slim wages war on the monsters with his future wife, 'Rya Raines'.

The book describes the Goblins as genetically engineered super-predators with a built-in desire for human misery. Created in an ancient, technologically superior era of human civilization, they exist purely to torment, terrify and ultimately destroy all of mankind.

Slim's claim to fame are his purple 'Twilight Eyes', which give him the ability to receive psychic, or prophetic, premonitions of the future. They also allow him to see through the disguise of the goblins.

Author Koontz will executive produce the new series.

"Tracker": Trap The Enemy To Set Them Both Free

Sneak Peek "Tracker", the British-New Zealand action-thriller set in 1903, directed by Ian Sharp and written by Nicolas van Pallandt, starring Ray Winstone ("Sexy Beast") and Temuera Morrison :

"...'Arajan' (Winstone), a Dutch Afrikaner veteran of the Boer War and master tracker, is promised a bounty to capture 'Kereama' (Morrison), a Māori seafarer accused of killing a British soldier. Keremea, who protests his innocence, repeatedly escapes and is recaptured. Arajan and Kereamea get to know and respect each other, before a showdown with British troops led by 'Major Carlyle' (Gareth Reeves)..."

Shot on location in Queensland, the film’s wild, striking landscapes offer a stark contrast to the violence of colonialism.

More than a lesson in colonial history, "Tracker" is a meditation on victimhood and transcendence, encouraging viewers to consider the persecuted individuals in the film.
