Telemystery: New Promotional Video for Ripper Street

BBC America has released a new promotional video for its upcoming historical crime drama, Ripper Street.

History's most notorious serial killer Jack the Ripper tore through late 1880's London. Now, the detectives who were on the case have to pick up the pieces.

In the aftermath of the Jack the Ripper murders, can anyone keep order in the blood-stained London Streets?

Haunted by the failure to catch London's most evil killer, Inspector Edmund Reid (Matthew Macfadyen) now heads up the notorious H Division, the toughest district in London's East End. Charged with keeping order in the chaotic streets of Whitechapel, Inspector Reid is soon drawn deep into the seedy criminal underworld of Victorian London — where fear always lurks that each new murder could mark the return of The Ripper.

Ripper Street premieres on BBC America on Saturday, January 19th at 9 PM (ET/PT).

UbiSoft Considering Adaptation of Ghost Recon Games for Film

It's only a brief mention in a Los Angeles Times article on Ubisoft's game-to-film efforts, but it seems the popular Ghost Recon series of video games may be headed for a screen adaptation.

We've previously reported on Ubisoft's two other projects in development — Assassin's Creed starring Michael Fasbender and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell starring Tom Hardy — both of which, in addition to having stars attached, have scripts written. These films aren't expected to hit theaters until late 2014 at the earliest.

Ghost Recon is centered on a squad of U.S. Army Special Forces operators, whose missions are highly classified, so much so that the members are often considered "ghosts". First released in 2001, there are numerous iterations of the game available for various platforms.

Though three tie-in books have been written — more information about the first of these, below — it is not known if any would serve as the basis for a film.

Review: Placebo by Steven James

A Mysterious Review of …

Placebo by Steven James. A Jevin Banks Thriller.

Review summary: This is a pulse-pounding, continually driven medical techno-thriller that introduces a conflicted but very intriguing new series character. The storyline isn't overly complicated, with the science presented in a straight-forward, uncomplicated and credible manner. A series worth watching and following.
