Plot: Chronicles is about three teens from Portland that get exposed to a supernatural substance in the woods and start to develop super powers. The teens explore the new found powers and abilities. When personal and family problems come in, it causes them to turn against each other.

The movie will be directed by Josh Trank. It's said that he will direct it with a hand held camera made like popular films such as Cloverfield, Blair Witch Project, etc. The movie apparently landed at 20th Century Fox. What do you guys think of this?

Twentieth Century Fox is in negotiations to pick up "Chronicle," a spec script from the son of director John Landis, Max Landis, with first-time director Josh Trank is attached to helm the super-power project.

John Davis ("Predators") and Adam Schroeder are producing.
According to the studio, the story focuses on the lives of three Portland teens that become exposed to a mysterious substance in the woods, and, as a result, begin to develop incredible powers. They work together to hone their skills for fun, until personal and family problems begin to turn them against one another.

"Chronicle" is being eyed to be told in hand-held, documentary-style that has been slowly gaining popularity with movies such as "Cloverfield" and "Paranormal Activity."

Trank, repped by APA and Magnet Management, could be well suited for the documentary task. While he directed a web series titled "Killpoint" in 2007 and was the editor on "Big Fan," Robert Siegel's indie starring Patton Oswalt, Trank may have that style of filmmaking in his genes; he is the son of documentary filmmaker Richard Trank, who won a best documentary Oscar as a producer on 1997's "The Long Way Home." This will be Trank's first feature project.

Landis, repped by Circle of Confusion, wrote episodes of "Masters of Horror" and NBC's "Fear Itself."

Do people really enjoy hand held camera style?I sure don't.It worked for Paranormal Activity, with the type of story they were telling.I heard alot of complaints about it with Cloverfield, though.I'm not really sure if it's really suited for action.

Yes, there is to much going on right now. Also, it'd help if this concept was actually interesting in play... Witch it probably won't be.
