Current Projects
Although it was announced that Briggs would make his directorial debut with Mortis Rex early in 2010, it seems more likely this will now be his second movie. The movie was initially announced as shooting in spring 2010 in the UK, Italy and Eastern Europe. Veteran producer James Jacks will be handling the reins, along with Briggs.
It was instead announced on 30 October 2009 Briggs' World War 2 supernatural thriller Panzer 88 would likely go into production prior to Mortis Rex. Briggs is currently splitting his time between Europe; Los Angeles; and New Zealand, prepping Panzer 88 with legendary producer Gary Kurtz which Briggs will also direct, as well as produce.
On August 23, 2010, it was announced in the Hero Complex section of the Los Angeles Times that Richard Taylor and Peter Jackson's Weta Workshop would be joining Panzer 88. Reaction spread across the internet fan pages and was overwhelmingly enthusiastic.
In February 2011, a Facebook page for Panzer 88 was established by the filmmakers, exclusively releasing advance concept art from the movie.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or projects:
“Gradually the village murmur subsided, and we seemed to be embarked on the placid current of our dreams, floating from past to future as silently as one awakes to fresh morning or evening thoughts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
