Oscar winning writer, William Monahan (THE DEPARTED) will direct luxurious historical drama BECKET, according to "FirstShowing". The period story will describe the friendship and estrangement between King Henry II and the Archbishop of Canterbury. The film will depict the world of the Plantagenets and a double tragedy with two heroes,
each of them paradoxical, each of them brilliant, each of them making mistakes that lead to their undoing. The same story was done before in a film with Peter O'Toole which scored 12 Oscar nominations.
Fredrik Bond, who mostly did commercials so far, will direct a new sf film YEAR 12, in which the story takes place 12 years after aliens have invaded Earth. Set in Manhattan, the story follows an underwater uranium miner who is recruited by the human resistance to smuggle uranium in his blood so they can use it to blow up the alien mothership. Sounds cool.
Phillip Noyce (SALT) will direct an unusual sf film TIMELESS which will follow a recently widowed man who inherits a fortune from his late wife. Plagued by an unresolved issue between he and his wife, he uses the money to build a time travel device to see her one last time, and to resolve a mysterious issue between the two of them.

There's another futuristic film with the same name TIMELESS, which will be released next year. Set in London in a bleak and dystopian future, TIMELESS tells the story of Warren. He's a hit-man who has been taken under the wing of the questionable business man, Sloane. Warren's world changes forever one day when Sloane forced him to break one his rules which he always abides by. He then finds himself plunged into a world where all is not what it may seem. He suddenly has the power to travel back in
time to wrong the rights of the past. But as events unfold, Warren must soon face a terrible conundrum. Is he truly traveling in time, or is he simply losing his mind? This is a powerful story of lost love, redemption and one man's addiction to saving his soul-mate ... from himself. The film stars Alexis Bledel (GILMORE GIRLS), Robert Kazinsky (THE HOBBIT), Jurgen Prochnow and Lee Ryan (from pop band BLUE).
