According to a recent report, it looks like Zac Efron is getting ready to star in an upcoming supernatural thriller for Warner Bros. The movie has been given the working title of The Falling, and THR revealed that Efron has teamed up with Akiva Goldsman (I Am Legend, I, Robot, A Beautiful Mind) for the project.
Unfortunately, plot details are being kept a secret, as the story is in very early stages of development. All we know is that the movie will involve “an otherworldly being.” A draft was put together by Akiva Goldsman and Joby Harold (All You Need is Kill), but they are still searching for a new screenwriter to further develop the story.
Zac Efron will also be involved in this movie as a producer under his production company, Ninjas Runnin’ Wild Productions. Akiva Goldsman will be producing as well, along with with Safehouse Pictures’ Tory Tunnell and Joby Harold.

Robots, even the most impressive and scary among the recent crop, don't tend to move in ways similar to living things. Except for Athlete, a running bot with leg movements so human it'll give you chills.
The secret to Athlete is that unlike most every other android out there which uses rotational-joints driven by motors to drive its limbs, Athlete uses air-motors that mimic human muscles. And when we say mimic, we really mean mimic--right down to the muscle pairs in human legs, with roughly the same range of motion. The air motors are also proportional, rather than on-off, so they have a degree of control over the robot's legs that's very...
