HBO is bringing together a triple powerhouse of talent to head up its pilot script for Buda Bridge.  At the center of the it all is Michael Roskam, who received an Oscar nom in Best Foreign-Language Film for his Belgian production Bullhead.  Roskam is set to write and direct the pilot, as well as executive produce.  Sharing the producer credit is Michael Mann, who partnered up with David Milch last year for the fantastic (but belegured) horse racing series Luck (also on HBO).  Finishing out the trio is Mark Johnson, an executive producer on Breaking Bad.  That credit speaks for itself.

Buda Bridge is a Belgian-set crime story set in a Brussels of the near future.  A woman is found dead on Buda Bridge, which leads to violent crimes and oddities that unleashes mayhem on the capital city.  Twin Peaks: Europe?  For more background on the project and the trailer for Bullhead, hit the jump.

Producers Hunt Lowry (What a Girl Wants) and Mark Johnson (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) have partnered with Adrian Vanderbosch and Isaac Testerman of Mysteria Film Group for a live-action feature film adaptation of the video game Myst.  The games are first-person point-and-click adventures where the player hunts for clues and solves puzzles in order to unlock the secrets of the world.  Deadline reports that the mythology created across the games (there are five in the series) could be used as a basis for the story since Myst doesn’t have a simple linear narrative.  The filmmakers will also use the trilogy of companion novels published by the game’s developer Cyan Worlds.

Hit the jump for what Vanderbosch had to say regarding the adaptation.
