A couple of sci-fi movie news today: the first has Gerard Butler and director Antoine Fuqua circling the Tobey Maguire-produced “Afterburn”, based on the Red 5 Comics comic book released a few years ago. Set in a post-apocalyptic world that has been scorched by massive solar flares, the movie follows a group of treasure hunters sent to retrieve items inside the mutated zones. Fuqua, who previously directed “Training Day”, is looking to direct. Tobey Maguire will still produce.

Tobey Maguire to Produce Post-Apocalyptic Afterburn
I love me a good old-fashion post-apocalyptic movie. Just ask anyone who knows me. Heck, I’m even one of the few people that liked Kevin Costner’s “Waterworld” and “The Postman”. Yes, I liked both movies. So what of it? The latest post-apocalyptic movie headed to the big screen is “Afterburn”, based on a comic book (pictured, below) by Paul Ens and Scott Chitwood from new comics company Red 5 Comics. And none other than Tobey Maguire (pictured, left), Spider-Man himself, is planning on ushering the comics into a movie, and will be producing with partner Neal Moritz.
