Amasia Entertainment and American Films are teaming on Reaper, the script written a decade ago by Gary Whitta, the Book Of Eli scribe who was just set to script a Star Wars film.

TORONTO -- Canadian movie producer M8 Entertainment has shaken up its boardroom, announcing the resignation of company chairman Sammy Lee and fellow director Antony Chui.
Montreal-based M8, formerly known as MDP Worldwide Entertainment, said Friday that Devin Cutler, vp of finance, has been named to the board of directors. In addition, Montreal-based Louis Gascon, who resigned as a director last January, is returning to the board.
