HEART OF DARKNESS Adaptation - New Movie Details!

The director of The Haunting in Connecticut, Peter Cornwell, is taking on a new project.  It is based on a novel written by author Joseph Conrad call Heart of Darkness.  There may not be a lot of you who know this story, but I am sure a lot of you have seen the most famous film adaptation of the novel called Apocalypse Now.  

Here is a synopsis and concept art of the new film adaptation of Heart of Darkness given to us by comingsoon:

APOCALYPSE 2388. Earth is on the brink of extinction. Legendary explorer KURTZ has been sent on a desperate last bid mission to scout an unknown planet on the far side of the universe. A planet that may sustain human life.

But communication with Kurtz mysteriously ceases and rookie flight officer MARLOW is assigned the perilous task of completing the objective. Tracking Kurtz into the unknown he reaches it. A new earth. And a race of beings at the dawn of time.

But Kurtz has his own plans for the new world and man's last hope for survival. And to achieve it he will take man to the only place that will protect paradise. Into darkness.

This writers on the film are Tony Giglio and Branden Morgan.  It is expected to be done filming in 2013.  I think if everyone can take Coppola's version out of comparison, this could be a fun movie.  Let us know what you think.
