Ah, bad news people, it seems that amazing director Shekhar Kapur (ELIZABETH, ELIZABETH THE GOLDEN AGE, FOUR FEATHERS) won't be helming the adaptation of LARKLIGHT by Philip Reeve. Tomas Alfredson (LET THE RIGHT ONE IN) will be the new director of this fantasy epic set in a Victorian era alternate universe in which mankind has been exploring the solar system since the time of Isaac Newton. The story revolves around a brother and sister who team with a band of renegade space pirates to save the world from destruction at the hands of a madman. Warner Bros. has scheduled the movie for 2013.
Fun Egyptian epic
