WARNER BROS PLANNING NEW 'MERLIN' EPIC FANTASY ADVENTURE FRANCHISE! SYLVIA DAY'S EROTIC SAGA 'CROSSFIRE' GETS TV SHOW VERSION! WORKERS WIN LOTTERY IN ABC'S NEW DRAMA 'LUCKY 7'

NEW 'MERLIN' MOVIE
FROM WARNER BROS!
Good news from the epic front, people! If you miss BBC's MERLIN show which ended, quite disappointingly, last Christmas, the wise wizard from Avalon and Camelot is coming back, but to the big screens. 'Variety' reports that Warner Bros. has hired GAME OF THRONES scribe Dave Hill to pen the script for MERLIN big screen fantasy adventure. No details on the plot so far, but the aim is to create a family friendly franchise at the studio. If you remember, last year Warner had a plan of making ARTHUR AND LANCELOT saga with Kit Harrington from GAME OF THRONES and Joel Kinnaman from THE KILLING in the lead roles, but cancelled the project due to high costs. Now it seems they're returning to medieval times!
