Peter Berg to Direct Bran Mak Morn
Source: Universal Pictures July 14, 2005
Working Title Films has teamed with Film 44 for the feature film adaptation of Bran Mak Morn; Peter Berg will direct the film from a screenplay adaptation by John Romano. Universal Pictures, where both production entities are housed, will distribute the film. Working Title optioned the rights to the early twentieth century classic fantasy adventure tales Bran Mak Morn by Robert E. Howard from Wandering Star Pictures.
Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan of Working Title Films will produce the film along with Wandering Star's Paul Berrow, and John Cameron of Film 44. Sarah Aubrey of Film 44 will serve as an executive producer for the project.
Bran Mak Morn fuses history with epic fantasy in the story of a mythical King of Ancient Britain, who forges an unholy alliance with the supernatural forces of his homeland to confront the mighty onslaught of the Roman Empire.

I think Berg has made great progress with each movie he's made, so I'm hoping this is good, especially since I love Robert E. Howard's stories and I'd really like to see Bran and the Picts done justice on the screen.
