These are some of my favorites videos about the character. There is alot of good fan made videos of this character and he already has a huge fan base. Its in Italian but fun to watch. This would make a awesome movie. Dreamworks was going to make it, but I think the rights reverted back to Platinum.
I say, make some good promo videos, show potential customers, easy sale.
IMO
LOL- That is so true. Not my typo (as I just copy and paste) but thanks for pointing it out.
Plenty to choose from. Heres one you may like. Nathan Never. Think Bladerunner.

I suppose if Spielberg is bored, he could always spend some of his cash and remake a Cowboys and Aliens in 3D. Hes doing it for Star Wars, he could do it here. It would be cool.
just my opinion.
Maybe some. I think some of their characters would be good in animation only, while others would be good in 2D. But 3D never hurts if you have the budget for it, and the revenue it generates helps too. Within all that, you need a good story, director and cast. Platinum goes down that road (using C&A as my example of cast and crew).
IMO
Thanks. Its always fun to read about the deals struck at these conventions. Not that we hear right away, but they do come. Hopefully we see some too.
IMO
Heck yea,
With Scott being there and alot of talent showing up, It will be a good time to make some contracts and strike some deals.
IMO
I love those comments he made in that article. Hope we see news come from this.

Cowboys & Aliens’ to Bow With UltraViolet
Universal Studios Home Entertainment for the first time will offer UltraViolet access to Cowboys & Aliens when the sci-fi action film is released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc Dec. 6.

Nice find. Its a good interview.
IMO
I dont underestimate anything. I see what goes on here everyday. Mistakes are mistakes, and as that article proved, the reporter did his research and did a follow up. The Sony article also talked about Platinum still owning the rights, lets not forget that.
I would hope, and most of us know, that you should always research any stock before you buy. To me, if you buy because some guy on a BB board says too and it tanks, well then you deserve what you get. You take your chances, but overall, IT IS YOUR MONEY AND YOUR CHOICE.
I respect opinions good and bad, but whatever is posted here is never official until I see a PR from Platinum themselves. GLTY
IMO
Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. Means a lot.
IMO
That happens alot. Somebody probably spilled the beans before the deal was done so Aurora Productions had to give a statement.
Notice in the article how the companys statement said "The project has not been sold to Sony YET".
It is still good news IMO
Sounds like it is farther along then we realize. You don't look for a writer and a director on a stalled movie.
IMO
Kimble, I dont believe it is deception at all. Those were legit articles by news groups that pick up the article from Bloody-Disgusting. If someone spilled the beans early, of course they may try to retract the statement that Sony picked up the rights. They also say in previous article that a new writer and director are attached and sounds like that is true.
I will commend the comicbookmovie author for going the extra mile and verify that it is true. Of course in the movie business, nothing is finalized and can change at the drop of a dime until production begins. Until then, we could change directors, writers, cast, and companys over and over. Platinum is the only one in the loop. Were just looking for 2nd hand info.
IMO
UPDATE: Sony Acquires The Rights To The Graphic Novel Nightfall?
I've (the author) been contacted by William Stuart, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Aurora Productions with the following:
...The project has not been sold to Sony yet and the rights are still with Aurora and Platinum. We are currently working with another writer and new director...

http://www.sensesofcinema.com/2011/feature-articles/cowboys-aliens-the-exhaustion-of-history-the-re-genesis-of-illusions/
Those are some heavy action flicks. Should be different than what James Wan probally had planned when he did the SAW series.
IMO
This article says that the first draft of the script is done.
Peter Woodward (UNTHINKABLE) had written the most recent draft of the screenplay.

Looks like Nightfall may have got re-picked up by Sony Pictures instead of Aurora Productions.

Sony Pictures Nabs Vampire Prison Horror 'Nightfall'
Friday, October 7, 2011
Bloody Disgusting is being told that Sony Pictures has nabbed the rights to the film adaptation of the graphic novel Nightfall.
The most recent draft of the screenplay was penned by Peter Woodward. The book follows David Paxton, a criminal who finds himself on the way to a tough Texas prison run by vampires that feed on the inmates.
The graphic novel was published in 2007 and written and created by Scott O. Brown with art by Ferran Xalabarder. James Wan (Saw, Dead Silence, Insidious) is no longer attached to direct. There's rumor that Uros Stojanovic is in talks to replace him.

DreamWorks' Stacey Snider Addresses Studio's Money Issues (Exclusive)
DreamWorks covered half of Cowboys' $160 million budget, with Universal and Relativity splitting the other half. (Paramount distributed the film for a fee.) The Jon Favreau-directed sci-fi Western, released domestically in July by Universal, grossed only $98 million. The Paramount international release added only $64 million.

Platinum Studios, Inc. (PDOS) Striving to Become the Gold Standard in Movies and Television
September 23rd, 2011
There are probably few people, at least in the United States and in much of the West, who haven’t seen one or both of the two “Men in Black” movies starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones (a third movie is currently in post production and scheduled for a May, 2012 release). How many people, though, are aware that the creator of the popular comic book that gave the movie franchise its name left his comfortable sinecure as founder and head of the comic book production company that brought forth the MiB comics? And that he founded Platinum Studios, Inc. in 1997 after the first MiB film became a smash hit that same year?
Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, perhaps sensing an even greater opportunity to bring his vision of comic-books-as-movies-and-television-fare to the masses, certainly took a great leap of faith that year and, so far, it seems to be paying off. At present, a number of comic books and graphic novels created and owned by Rosenberg and Platinum Studios are either being developed for film or TV treatments or have already made it onto the silver screen. Count the 2011 release “Cowboys and Aliens” – starring Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig, the current James Bond – as one of the most notable of them. It may be that this independent graphic novel, comic book and film production company is primed for a golden run, in fact.
One reason why PDOS may be looking at a potentially golden (or “platinum”) future is that it owns an extremely large library of comics and graphic novel content, ready to be mined by a film industry desperate for relevancy among Millennials (AKA “Generation Y,” “Generation Next,” or those generally born since about 1985 through the mid-1990s). With rights to over 5000 specific (and popular) comic book characters, PDOS is ideally situated to capitalize on its intellectual property in working with (but not for) Hollywood to adapt those characters for film, television and an array of Web-based media spanning a huge spectrum of demographics. The possibility of significant revenue streams, then, is quite strong.
Platinum Studios itself currently trades as an OTCBB stock and it’s quite often a very vigorously traded security. For example, its average daily trading volume currently stands at 4.39 million shares, and it’s often the recipient of 10 to 15 million share trade days. The quality of the stock and its ability to be traded so well is illustrated by its healthy market cap, which stands at $3.15 million. Additionally, PDOS benefits from a relatively low (for an OTC security) authorized share ratio of only 500 million, with 380 million shares outstanding and a float of just about 176 million.
Does PDOS have a golden future? Possibly.
Given that the share structure for PDOS is so rational for an OTC security, it’s perhaps a bit surprising that it trades in the sub-penny range currently, but that only makes the opportunity to trade in the stock that much more appealing if you’re looking to make day trading a pastime or even an avocation. Today, the 23rd of September, shares of PDOS are currently trading at 0.0083, with a bid price offer of 0.0076 and an asking price of 0.0082. It closed the September 22nd trading day at 0.0083, and there’s a daily potential profit margin, if trades are timed properly, of from 10 to 25 percent, many experts would say.
In all, Platinum Studios, Inc. (PDOS) could be just the sort of entertainment industry security that can be explored and then mined for a plethora of riches when it’s traded in the hands of a smart and savvy investor.

Would he been nice if it was true.
No apologies necessary. It happens. The internet is the wild west of information. Some good, some bad. It could have been real. Scott did have a deal with Kiss, but no one knew it was over. Still lots of good things going on.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=66515056
I will have to agree with you guys. Just got an email that stated that was an old pr that some website re-wrapped and posted on the net. The Kiss deal was dead a long time ago. Why I always say some things do need to be verified by Platinum. Hopefully Scott will have some real news for us.
