Vincenzo Natali (CUBE, SPLICE) just recently joined the 21st century and got a Twitter, and the director is having a lot of fun with his social media account. Natali has been sharing artwork and script pages from several of his dead/never got off the ground film projects, including his take on the William Gibson novel Neuromancer, his version of SWAMP THING, and his art pitches for new PREDATOR and IT movies.

We'll start with NEUROMANCER. Last month Natali reportedly left the film, which is a shame because I'm really digging this concept art. The director also revealed four pages from his screenplay.

Next up is artwork for a new PREDATOR film, and Natali says he pitched the project about five years ago. Below you'll also find drawings for his IT pitch.

Vincenzo Natali is set to adapt the Stephen King and Joe Hill novella In The Tall Grass for the big screen, and he is expected to start production on the film this fall.
