WHITEOUT We got an email from Daniel Robert Epstein who noted an interview with writer Greg Rucka at Suicide Girls. "There should be an announcement about Whiteout being made in the next couple of weeks," Rucka said. "There's talk about actually filming something as early as October of this year. They have a production company and they have a very powerful producer behind it ... I'm actually not even certain which screenplay they're working off of. I believe there's going to be a new screenplay using elements of the first one that was written by the Hoeber brothers way back when."

this story is where his Queen & Country character, Tara Chase, started (she was working under a different name, however).

Monday, October 16th, 2006 Mega producer, Joel Silver has signed a $220 million deal with CIT Group to produce 15 new films in the $10 million-$40 million range during the next six years.
Silver will fully finance the films with Warner Bros. putting up the costs of publicity & advertising, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The first film under the deal through Silver's Dark Castle Entertainment is expected to be action thriller, Whiteout, reports Variety. It's based on Greg Rucka's novel about a lone U.S. marshal in Antarctica tracking the continent's first serial killer; production is scheduled to begin this winter for release in the first quarter of 2008.
The next two are psychological horror, The Summoner, written by Matthew Sand and to be directed by Victor Salva; and urban action movie Gangland, written by Alex Tse. I'm not sure why the pic says 1:30 PM

"Whiteout" Will Be Another Faithful Graphic Novel Adaptation Posted by Jen Yamato on Sunday, Apr. 22, 2007, 11:49 AM
Ftopel writes: "Greg Rucka's graphic novel "Whiteout," about a female US Marshal investigating the first murder in Antarctica, is the next Hollywood adaptation coming to the big screen. Screenwriter Christine Roum, currently working on day to day script polishes, assured Rucka's fans that the film's director has total reverence for the material.
"Dominic Sena really loved this book forever, so he's staying very true as much as possible to the tone of it," she said.
Produced under Joel Silver's Dark Castle banner, "Whiteout" will be bigger than their usual horror movie output. "It's a bigger feeling movie. It has a landscape that's really big. It's very ambitious as a film and very ambitious from a storytelling point of view because you�re dealing with character. It's all about these characters in a very hyped up environment, the south pole. The suspense-thriller aspect of it is there. It's plotted, it's exciting but you're really getting into the interaction between these people in an extreme environment. It�s like being on the moon."
Known for his loud verbal tirades, Roum finds Silver to be a quiet, unassuming gentleman. "He was. Dude, I was shocked. I have heard the stories. I have not experienced it thankfully.""

WHITEOUT: THE MOVIE
Filming has wrapped. How do I know this? I was there. Went up to Montreal to watch the filming in early May, and was offered a job assisting with rewrites. Stayed until just before the final shot.
An amazing experience.
Further news on this front is embargoed by the studio, but look for more information as we approach release. Right now, the word is that the film will be in theaters Summer ’08. And trust me, it’s going to look stunning.

Whiteout is Coming in September Source: ShockTillYouDrop.com May 23, 2008
ShockTillYouDrop.com reports that Warner Bros. Pictures has scheduled a September 19th release date for the Dominic Sena-directed Whiteout, starring Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Tom Skerritt, Columbus Short and Alex O'Loughlin. This is how the studio describes the film, based on Greg Rucka's graphic novel:
After two years stationed at Antarctica's South Pole research base, lone U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) is as anxious as anyone to be going home. She's turned in her resignation and is counting the hours and minutes to the last plane out. But three days before departure, a body turns up on the ice and Carrie is immediately thrust into Antarctica's first murder investigation. As the death toll mounts, the mystery deepens with shifting loyalties, deadly whiteouts, and a relentless killer who will stop at nothing to protect a secret buried for over sixty years. Now with everyone around her packing up and getting out, Carrie must solve the crime before Antarctica is plunged into six months of darkness and she is stranded with the killer on a land where nothing comes in and no one gets out.
