Highlander

The guys over at Quiet Earth dug up the trailer for a new Aussie flick called Nine Miles Down, which comes to us from Storm Warning/Long Weekend screenwriter Everett de Roche and Mute Witness helmer Anthony Waller. That’s a very sexy pedigree, if you ask me.
The film stars former Highlander Adrian Paul as Jack, a security patrolman enlisted to figure out what happened to a crew of drillers in the Australian outback. When he gets to the site, he finds a beautiful geologist name Jc (Kate Nauta), who claims to the only survivor of the research team. The rest were killed after violence took over following the discovery of a cavern an unprecedented nine miles below the surface of the Earth. It all makes some sense, but as things progress Jack begins to suspect something supernatural is going down.
No word on a U.S. release for Nine Miles Down yet,

A sequel to H.G. Wells’ sci-fi classic War of the Worlds with a steampunk edge?  Yes please!  I’ll let the production site do all the talking for this animated film:
In 1900, the Earth was attacked by ruthless invaders from the planet Mars. The Martian’s 80 ft tall, heat-ray spewing, Tripod battle machines laid waste to the planet, but the invaders ultimately fell prey to Earth’s tiny bacteria.
Fourteen years later, Man has rebuilt his shattered world, in large part by utilizing captured Martian technology. Equipped with giant, steam-powered Tripod battle machines, the international rapid reaction force, A.R.E.S., is Mankind’s first line of defense against the return of the rapacious Martian invaders. Based in a massive fortress complex at the south end of Manhattan Island, the young warriors of A.R.E.S. train under the leadership of Secretary of War, Theodore Roosevelt, and the grim General Kushnirov.
