Davis Entertainment Movie Updates

20th Century Fox-based Davis Entertainment has acquired Cardiac, a spec script by Lars Jacobson.

Max Landis wrote Chronicle, the first installment of the sci-fi feature that has grossed more than $105 million at the box office worldwide since the Fox release opened in early February.

John Davis, riding high off of the surprise success of the super-powered found-footage movie Chronicle, is going back to the world of robots.

Benderspink and Davis Entertainment are teaming on ensemble drama-thriller Seven Days Waiting from a script by Jeff Bacon, Joe Davidson and Jordan Capell.

Universal Pictures has acquired remake rights to Phasma ex Machina, the small independent feature directing debut by Matt Osterman that was the toast of the genre film festival circuit.

Max Landis, the young screenwriter who recently found traction in a weakened spec market with his Chronicle, will write the fantasy thriller Pied Piper for 20th Century Fox.

Twentieth Century Fox is in final negotiations for spec The Last Witness by Danish scribe Stefan Jaworski. John Davis' Davis Entertainment, which first brought the project to the studio, will produce. Fox's Peter Kang will oversee the film.

Fox is going young with "29: A Novel," picking up screen rights to Adena Halpern's comedic tome, with John Davis attached to produce.
