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:
“Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
