Mythic unveils 'Ironclad'
James Purefoy in negotiations to star
James Purefoy is in negotiations to star in the period actioner "Ironclad," the first pic from newly minted production, financing and sales entity Mythic International Entertainment. Paul Giamatti is circling a role in the $30 million project, which is being helmed by Jonathan English ("Minotaur").
Based on a legendary story, "Ironclad" is set in 13th century England and tells the story of a formidable Knight Templar and his "Magnificent Seven" who defended historic Rochester Castle against the tyrant, King John, and his mercenary army. Purefoy would play the knight opposite Giamatti's King John.
Richard Attenborough, Pete Postlethwaite, Angus Macfadyen and Colm Meany have also joined the project, set to begin filming this fall in Europe.
Co-producing with Mythic are Zephyr Films and Picture Park. Sales veteran Glenn Kendrick Ackermann is selling the film in Cannes and has already closed multiple territories.
Mythic was launched earlier this year by U.S.-based producer Rick Benattar ("Shoot 'Em Up") and U.K. producer/attorney Andrew Curtis ("Lost in La Mancha"). Curtis, with a background in entertainment law, is doing double duty as partner and head of legal and business affairs. Ackermann is running the sales arm.
Mythic will act as a fully-fledged production company which develops and finances its projects. It also provides gap financing and is currently negotiating a substantial revolving facility with Adrian Ward of National Bank of California. Two private equity groups in London and New York provide financing for the company's slate.

John Mayer seems to ignite everyone and everything around him! After spending the night at girlfriend Jennifer Aniston's house last night, the singer drove the actress's Range Rover from Beverly Hills to his home in Pacific Palisades.
Just after 2 p.m. PT, with Jen's Range Rover parked outside for all the world to see, a fire broke out across the street from John's house.
OK! can confirm that Mayer was home at the time and we are awaiting comment from the Pacific Palisades Fire Dept.� No word on whether the fire is contained but fire officials are on sight helping to put it out.
[Ed. note: someone might want to tell John that his neighborhood is on fire! Just a thought.]
Stay tuned!

Janet Jackson - Jackson Sends Dog To School
JANET JACKSON has been forced to send one of her three beloved pet bulldogs to school - because he's so naughty.
The pop superstar had hoped to take all three of her pooches on her upcoming tour with her, but it looks as if one dog will miss out on the dates - because he doesn't get along with her other two mutts.
She explains, "He's in Atlanta in obedience school because there are two of them (bulldogs) that aren't getting along. That's more important to me right now than him coming on tour."

Foxy Brown - Brown Parts With Manager
Rapper FOXY BROWN has parted ways with her manager CHAZ WILLIAMS, accusing him of compiling her new album "without her approval" during her time in jail.
The star - real name Inga Marchand - was sent to prison in September last year (07) for violating her probation, stemming from a 2006 assault conviction for attacking two manicurists in 2004. She was released from New York's Rikers Prison last month (Apr08).
Marchand claims she had no control over the content of Brooklyn Don Diva which was compiled during her eight-month spell behind bars and is due for release next month (Jun08).
And she blames Williams for going ahead with the LP without her and has decided to terminate their working relationship. She insists she would normally have filed legal action but her recent legal woes have put her off spending any more time in court.
She tells Allhiphop.com, "I heard this CD in its entirety for the first time just days ago and was devastated. Riddled with grief over an album that was seemingly so carelessly orchestrated, I sat down with the president of Koch (records) to come to a decision on how to make the best of this situation.
"In another phase of my life and career, I would have dealt with this situation with litigation, but for the benefit of my fans and in the wake of the profound spiritual cleansing I recently underwent in prison, I made the decision to settle our creative differences amicably. My fans have waited seven years for an in-store release and deserve my very best."
Following Marchand's release from prison she was sentenced to three years probation after pleading guilty to attacking a woman with her cellphone last year (Jul07).

New Sands film premieres at Cannes
'Hunger', the new biopic about the last weeks in the life of IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands, had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last night.
The film was directed by first-time British director Steve McQueen and stars German-born and Kerry-raised actor Michael Fassbender as Sands.
Speaking to AFP about the controversy the film will provoke, Turner Prize winner McQueen said: "I'm not saying I agree or disagree with Bobby Sands, what I'm saying is I don't know. The film is about people making decisions, bad or right decisions, and the consequences of that."
'Hunger' was shown as part of the 'Un Certain Regard' competition at Cannes, a companion to the Palme d'Or award.
