The 1996 version of The Island of Dr. Moreau, which was directed by John Frankenheimer (who replaced Richard Stanley after half a week of filming), is a well-known disaster, but that was just one of many cinematic adaptations H.G. Wells’ 1896 novel has received over the years. That novel has inspired the 1932 classic Island of Lost Souls, 1959’s Terror Is a Man, 1972’s The Twilight People, a 1977 film that actually kept the The Island of Dr. Moreau title, the Full Moon production Dr. Moreau’s House of Pain, and more. Now we can add another title to the list, as Deadline reports that Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins has signed on to star in the The Island of Dr. Moreau reimagining Eyes in the Trees.

The children of two Hollywood icons are set to collide in the cat-and-mouse thriller Clawfoot, which is coming to us from director Michael Day, screenwriter April Wolfe, and Yale Entertainment, the company behind the awesome Becky. Francesca Eastwood (Awake), a daughter of Clint Eastwood, and Milo Gibson (Hacksaw Ridge), a son of Mel Gibson, star in the film, which is currently filming in Los Angeles.
Clawfoot sees Francesca Eastwood taking on the role of
an upper-class suburban housewife who is psychologically terrorized by a manipulative contractor, leading to a twisted battle of wits with deliciously unexpected results.
Milo Gibson is playing the manipulative contractor.
Clawfoot marks the feature directorial debut of Day, who previously directed multiple short films and episodes of the shows The News Tank and Sisters. This is the second feature written by Wolfe, as she previously co-wrote the poorly received 2019 version of Black Christmas.

Trying to find a new reason to tell stories already immortalized by Howard Hawks, Brian De Palma and others, Timothy Woodward Jr.'s Gangster Land shifts the focus from larger-than-life Al Capone to his henchman Jack McGurn, a boxer-turned-enforcer who helped plan the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Respectable period production values and some recognizable castmembers are no substitute for imagination in this flat crime flick, which steals freely from its predecessors but offers none of their guilty-pleasure thrills.
Embodied most memorably as a mercurial showboat by Robert De Niro in De Palma's The Untouchables, Capone is oddly charisma-free here, played in...

"These guys are coming after you...!" Cinedigm has released an official trailer for a new crime thriller titled Gangster Land, from director Timothy Woodward Jr., of the western film Hickok also being released this year. Not quite Gangster Squad, not quite The Godfather, this indie mob film follows Al Capone's second in command, "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn, as played by Sean Faris. It tells the story of Capone's rise, but through the the eyes of McGurn. Milo Gibson (one of Mel's sons) plays Capone, and the full cast includes Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Peter Facinelli, Michael Paré, Jason Patric, Don Harvey, Mark Rolston, and Al Sapienza. This actually looks better than expected, but doesn't look like a knock out either. Take a look.

While Mel Gibson is trading yucks with Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell in Daddy's Home 2, his son, Milo, will make his leading man debut in a movie you'd more likely expect from his father: Gangster Land, a gritty, R-rated period crime drama about the rise of Al Capone.
Milo plays Capone, and the trailer, debuting here on Et, is chock full of machine guns blazing and dancing flappers, fedoras and mobster wheeling and dealing, all leading to a courtroom outburst where he bellows, "I'm Al Capone! You better remember me!"

Gangster Land, from director Timothy Woodward Jr., also stars Sean Faris (Pretty Little Liars), Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Peter Facinelli. Milo first appeared onscreen last year in Hacksaw Ridge, which was directed by the elder Gibson, but the 27-year-old nearly didn't get into acting at all.
