Four people are dead and more than 60 injured after a Metro-North passenger train derailed on a curved section of track on its way to New York City.

Sixty-three people were injured -- 11 critically -- in the accident that occurred at 7:20 a.m., about 100 yards north of the Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx, according to authorities.

A Metro-North spokesman tells FoxNews.com the derailment involved a southbound Hudson Line commuter train departing Poughkeepsie in Dutchess County at 5:54 a.m. -- the second train to leave that station, Sunday.

The train was due to arrive at Manhattan’s Grand Central Station at 7:43 a.m.  Passengers were removed from the wreck by authorities, with dozens bloodied and scratched, holding ice packs to their heads.

"I was asleep and I woke up when the car started rolling several times,” said a bloodied Joel Zaritsky, who was on his way to New York City for a dental convention.

“Then I saw the gravel coming at me, and I heard people screaming. There was smoke everywhere and debris. People were thrown to the other side of the train."


The whole train comprised seven cars, plus a diesel locomotive, and five of the cars went off the tracks, said Metro-North spokesman Aaron Donovan.

The derailment occurred near the Harlem River, and authorities say two cars were left lying on their sides, although none of the cars went into the nearby waterway.

“One approached the water and came close, but did not go in,” Donovan tells FoxNews.com.

Donovan said a locomotive was pushing the train from behind, although the operating engineer who controlled the train was stationed in the front of the first passenger car. Source and More Details

Paul Walker, the edgy action hero with all-American good looks who became an international star with "The Fast & the Furious" movie franchise, has died in a fiery car collision in Southern California. He was 40 years old.

According to the statement put out by Walker's team and also posted on Facebook, the actor was "attending a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. He was a passenger in a friend's car.

"We appreciate your patience as we too are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news," the statement continued. "Thank you for keeping his family and friends in your prayers during this very difficult time. We will do our best to keep you apprised on where to send condolences."
The identity of the second victim, a male, has not been released by authorities; but numerous reports have identified the driver as Roger Rodas, the owner of Walker's auto-racing team, Always Evolving.

“Him and his buddy, his brother in arms at heart, just decided to joyride, take a spin," Antonio Holmes, an onlooker at the event who identified himself as a friend of Walker's, told the local Santa Clarita Valley Signal newspaper. "Something we all do. We're all car enthusiasts. ... We’re all here driving, enjoying each other, and God must’ve needed help."

According to witnesses, the red Porsche Carrera GT carrying Walker and his friend lost control and slammed into a tree and then a light pole. Walker, an unapologetic car lover, had been participating in the "Winter Drive" for Reach Out Worldwide, a toy drive and car meet charity event for disadvantaged children. Walker was also involved in humanitarian efforts in Chile and Haiti after the devastating earthquakes in both countries.

"Speed was a factor in the solo vehicle collision," the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said in a updated statement late Saturday.

Earlier, the sheriff's department and county coroner confirmed that two people were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles, around 3:30 p.m. PT.

"When they arrived, deputies found the vehicle engulfed in flames. The Los Angeles County Fire Department responded, extinguished the fire and subsequently located two victims inside the vehicle," Sheriff's Deputy Kim Manatt said in a statement. "The victims were pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of the collision is under investigation."

The tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed heartthrob was a California native, hailing from the L.A. suburb of Glendale. He began appearing in TV commercials when he was just a toddler. He guest starred on shows like "Highway to Heaven" and "Charles in Charge" as a teen, and scored his first leading role in 1998's "Meet the Deedles." This lead to higher profile roles in features like "Pleasantville," "Varsity Blues," and "She's All That" in the late '90s before cementing his status as a leading man in 2001's "The Fast and the Furious."

Walker starred in all but the third installment of the "Fast & Furious" movies, including the seventh chapter which is still in production and scheduled for release next summer. He also received critical acclaim for his performances in 2006's "Running Scared" and in Clint Eastwood's WWII drama, "Flags of Our Fathers." His next film, "Hours," about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, is scheduled to open on Dec. 13.

"Fast" running mate Vin Diesel posted an image of him and Walker on Instagram with the caption: "Brother I will miss you very much. I am absolutely speechless. Heaven has gained a new Angel. Rest in Peace." Source and More Details

After 15 years on the Internet, the once-ubiquitous digital audio player Winamp will soon be just a memory.
According to a brief note on the Winamp website, the formerly uber-popular media player will no longer be available for download after Dec. 20, 2013. This includes Winamp.com and associated Web services.
You probably remember Winamp from the late 90s and early 2000's when it was one of the most widely used Internet services for listening to music and radio streams. Winamp eventually lost popularity as services like iTunes and Windows Media Player hit the Web, but it'll always hold a special place in the hearts of many.

Developed by former University of Utah college students Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev, Winamp launched in 1997, and quickly gained popularity alongside the rise of MP3 file sharing. AOL eventually acquired Winamp in 1999 when it picked up Frankel's company Nullsoft for $80 million in stock.
By the time Winamp released its 10th Anniversary edition back in 2007, most people had already moved on to more modern digital music services.
"Most of the people I spoke with were genuinely shocked to discover that not only is Winamp still kicking on their 10th anniversary, the app is seeing the release of a new version this week," PCMag said at the time. Source and More Details

Putting killer whales andtheir trainers together in close proximity is an important partof SeaWorld's shows, the marine park operator said on Tuesday inasking a federal court to overturn an order to put more spacebetween orcas and humans.

The case resulted from the February 2010 death of DawnBrancheau, a 40-year-old marine life trainer at SeaWorldEntertainment Inc's Orlando park, and a U.S. LaborDepartment safety order that came after that tragedy.

Brancheau drowned when a 12,000-pound (5,440-kg) bull killerwhale, or orca, named Tilikum pulled her into a pool.

Close interaction between whales and humans is "the premiseof SeaWorld's entertainment," the company's attorney, EugeneScalia, told a three-judge panel of the U.S Court of Appeals forthe District of Columbia Circuit.

The Labor Department order is like the "government came inand told the NFL (National Football League) that close contacton the football field would have to end" for safety reasons,said Scalia, son of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Six months after Brancheau's death, the Occupational Safetyand Health Administration (OSHA) said SeaWorld had exposed itstrainers to a hazardous environment, violating the OccupationalSafety and Health Act's "general duty" clause.

OSHA, part of the Labor Department, ordered SeaWorld to makechanges, including physically separating trainers and orcasduring performances.

OSHA also fined SeaWorld $75,000 for three safetyviolations. An administrative law judge of the OccupationalSafety and Health Review Commission reduced the fine last yearto $12,000 after downgrading one of the violations. Source and More Details

Joy Covey, an executive who joined Amazon.com when it was a new company with big ideas and played a major role in turning those ideas into reality, died on Wednesday after the bicycle she was riding struck a delivery van in a remote stretch of San Mateo County, Calif. She was 50.

The police said that a minivan apparently making deliveries for OnTrac, a shipping service used by Amazon and other online retailers, was turning onto a side road when the accident occurred along Skyline Boulevard. Ms. Covey was pronounced dead at the scene. The van driver was not charged.

As Amazon’s first chief financial officer, Ms. Covey helped take the company public and was an independent-minded advocate for Amazon’s plans to ignore Wall Street and invest for the future. That notion, radical in its day, was the foundation for Amazon’s growth into a $61 billion retailing and entertainment behemoth.

In its early days, Amazon prided itself on its unconventional hires, telling staffing agencies to “send us your freaks.” Ms. Covey did not have a traditional background. She dropped out of high school at 15 and worked as a grocery clerk. She attended Cal State Fresno and later Harvard Law School, where, she said, she did not fit in.

“We’d go to lunch and people would talk about their favorite 17th-century poets, and I’d be thinking, ‘Could I even name five poets? From any century?’ “

But after joining Amazon in late 1996, when its annual revenue was less than $20 million, she thrived. She sold Wall Street the debt that the company needed to expand. The company went public on May 14, 1997, with an initial offering price of $18. Shares this week were selling for more than $312. Her own wealth is estimated at more than $200 million.  Source and More Details

At least 12 people died Monday during a shooting at the Washington Navy Yard, officials said. One gunman died in the shooting, and police are seeking two other possible shooters.

The Navy Yard was placed on lockdown after shots were fired inside a building on the base, the U.S. Navy said. At least 10 other people were injured in the shooting, including eight civilians, one Washington Metro police officer and one base officer, D.C. Metro Police said.

Washington D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray said the gunman, whose name has yet to be released, was shot during an exchange with the Metro Police officer.

"As far as we know, it's an isolated incident," Gray said.

"We have no known motive at this stage," the mayor added. "We also don't know for certain if there were other shooters."

D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said authorities are seeking two possible suspects who may still be at large: a white male, 40 to 50 years old, wearing a khaki military-style uniform and a beret, carrying a handgun or pistol; and a black male, also 40 to 50 years old, 5'10", 180 pounds, medium complexion with gray sideburns and wearing an olive military-style uniform, carrying "a long gun."

"We have reason to believe these people were involved and we need to talk to them," Lanier said.

The FBI, she said, is now taking the lead in the investigation.

Before a scheduled economic speech at the White House, President Barack Obama deplored "yet another mass shooting" — this one targeting military and civilian personnel.

“These are men and women who were going to work, doing their job, protecting all of us," Obama said. "They’re patriots, and they know the dangers of serving abroad. But today they faced the unimaginable: violence that they wouldn’t have expected here at home."

"We will do everything in our power to make sure that whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible," the president added. "I want the investigation to be seamless."

Janis Orlowski, chief medical officer at Washington Hospital Center, said one Metropolitan Police officer and two civilians are being treated there. All three are in critical condition, Orlowski said, but are alert, speaking and have a good chance of survival.

One was shot in the legs, another in the shoulder and another in the head and hand.

Orlowski said Washington Hospital Center is prepared to handle eight to 10 more victims, but did not know how many victims would be transported to the hospital. She said she had been told to expect more. Source and More Details

Today. In Italy.

The singer and the model made it official when they exchanged vows in front of friends and family in Lake Como, reports People.com.

Legend's rep confirmed the happy news to USA TODAY.

And Teigen tweeted in the early morning hours Sunday: "Phew. I gotta say, that was a hard secret to keep from you guys."

The bride wore three different Vera Wang dresses, according to People. Her wedding dress was a strapless ivory gown with a "kind of a sexier feel at the top, like a swimsuit," she said. Teigen changed into another strapless ivory Vera Wang dress for the reception. And at the after-party she had a third Vera Wang design of the night – a crimson strapless mermaid gown.

A New Delhi court today sentenced the four men convicted of gang raping and murdering a 23-year-old medical student, pronouncing “death to all" in a ruling that underscored the outrage caused by the case.

The attack last December sparked large protests across India as demonstrators and activists called for reform of sexual violence laws and demanded changes in attitudes toward women. The death penalty in India is reserved for only the “rarest of rare” cases.

“This [case] falls under inhuman nature of the convicts and the gravity of offense they committed cannot be tolerated,” said Judge Yogesh Khanna in his ruling. “[The] court cannot turn a blind eye to such a gruesome act. When crime against women is rising on day-to-day basis … at this point in time [the] court cannot keep its eye shut. … The case falls under the rarest of rare category.”

A total of six men were accused of tricking the physiotherapy student and a male friend on their way home from a movie onto a chartered bus on Dec.16. Prosecutors said the men beat her male friend and raped the woman, using a metal bar to inflict serious injuries. The two were then dumped, naked, by the side of the road. The woman later died of her injuries in a Singapore hospital.

The  driver of the bus where the attack took place committed suicide in jail earlier this year, and a juvenile court found a 16-year-old guilty last month, sentencing him to three years in a reform facility.

As three of the four of the sentenced men broke down in tears after the ruling was issued, defense lawyer A.P. Singh told reporters the punishment was motivated by public anger and political pressure, not justice. He said he planned to appeal the ruling. Source and More Details

Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary, Ind., on Aug. 29, 1958. If he were still alive today, the "King of Pop" would be celebrating his 55th birthday. Knowing Michael, he would be throwing some lavish party a la Neverland Ranch or having a gathering of his A-list friends, including Diana Ross, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake or even Cher. In honor of the big 5-5, ABC News has compiled Jackson's top 10 career moments. Take a look at a music career, which includes 13 Grammy Awards, two inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and sales upwards of 400 million records.
Motown Signs The Jackson 5 - 1968

The group -- Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael -- was formed in 1964, and it's been estimated that they sold nearly 100 million records worldwide.
'The Wiz' and 'Off The Wall' - 1978-1979

Usually, those false Internet rumors about a famous someone's demise end with word trickling through social media that it's a hoax, or maybe even a statement directly from the celebrity that he or she is just fine, thank you very much.

But in the case of Tuesday's rumors that astronaut Neil Armstrong had died — well, Armstrong is still dead. The part that the Internet got wrong is when. Armstrong, the first man on the moon, passed away Aug. 25, 2012.

ABC News mistakenly sent out a tweet, now deleted, that said, "Neil Armstrong, First Man on the Moon, Is Dead," according to HollywoodLife.com.

ABC was intending to tweet a piece about his passing to honor the anniversary of his death, but it was attached to a more current video, which changed the timestamp on the story to Aug. 27 and made everything appear current. The culprit was a misbehaving app, according to HollywoodLife.com. Social media eventually corrected the rumor, but not before it went viral.

Twitter followers reacted with humor.

Tweeted Collin Preciado, @treerobot42, "Really upset to learn that Neil Armstrong passed away again."

Tweeted Sean Rasmussen, @bullhunter, "Most people fear dying once, yet #NeilArmstrong has now died a 2nd time on Social Media. It must be true because it's on Twitter!"

ABC News did not respond to a request for comment.

Internet death rumors bubble up occasionally when it comes to celebrities and well-known people.Source and More Details

Back at school, Ezra teaches his class about a love that’s like a “force of nature,” and I swoon, which only makes what happens an hour later that much more painful. I mean, Aria can’t even take her current boyfriend to poetry night, because the (very attractive) jock would rather stay home and fall asleep during a movie. Really? As my roommate put it, he slammed that poetry idea before Aria could even finish her sentence. Get it? Slam poetry? Okay, sorry. Long story short: Aria ends up catching the tail end of poetry night, which leads to a comfy couch conversation with Mr. Fitz … which results in a spontaneous kiss both of them literally shrug off. It’s cute because it’s natural, but it’s also strange, because that should’ve been a bigger moment, right?
Let me not forget to mention the baby coffin that “A” mails the Liars. I wish that were a metaphor of some kind, but it’s not. Inside sits a doll that’s wearing glasses, so it must be Mona. And suddenly the Liars are actually worried about what could happen to Hanna’s ex-best friend, who was recently released from Radley. Also, what is Shana doing at Wren’s? And why is he moving his stuff to Melissa … in London?
Out with the questions, and in with the couples enjoying some quality time! After Hanna makes a horrifically inappropriate comment about her mother’s sex life, she spends the night stalking Mona’s house with Caleb and falling asleep in a very uncomfortable position. Just because it’s your boyfriend’s shoulder doesn’t make it fun. On the other hand, Emily does know how to comfortably sleep on her girlfriend, and Spencer, though not asleep, also looks comfortable in her man’s arms. It’s the calm before the storm … quite literally for me. My cable box went out for a total of four minutes, so let me know if I missed anything big!
So at this point, CeCe Drake has been identified as a suspect in the murder of Detective Wilden, and the girls have gone to Ravenswood while Toby stalks Mona, who meets up with Shana at a B&B. I have no idea what that’s about, but I don’t have time to focus on that. Emily is kidnapped, locked in a coffin, and nearly cut in half at a sawmill! The lesson here: Ravenswood sucks just as hard as Rosewood does. And “A” is getting graphic. Luckily, Red Coat shuts off the saw (because clearly the Liars weren’t going to save their friend in time). Nice work, girls.
Wait, there are two Red Coats! Aria chases one up some stairs and uses her newly acquired combat skills to kick the mask off Red Coat’s face. It’s CeCe! But when she attempts to escape, she nearly falls to her death. Aria catches her, but CeCe might want to invest in a more expensive red coat, because it tears and she falls. However, I doubt she’s dead, considering she got up and seemingly ran/limped away.
Spencer collects the girls and tells them she thinks the other Red Coat is Ali, because she took her to the ultimate “A” team lair. There are pictures of  Ali, computers monitoring the police, and timelines for each of the girls, including Ali, who “A” thinks is still alive. Also, this Red Coat/”A” person might be a guy — first clue! — because Hanna finds a row of suits. Honestly, when Aria starts really analyzing photos (including one of Wren), I think she’s going to realize Ezra isn’t in any of them, but I push the horrible thought to the back of my mind. She doesn’t. Instead, the girls decide the mastermind behind it all is board shorts. They just can’t put a (super cute and lovable) face to the name.
According to the timeline, board shorts believes Ali will be at a party tonight, but Ms. Grunwald informs the Liars that it’s invite only. She then informs them that — cue hand-out-of-the-ground flashback! — Ali was scared for her life that summer, and Ms. Grunwald was the one who pulled her out of the ground, but when she went to get a doctor at the hospital, Ali disappeared. And although Grunwald hasn’t seen Ali since, she claims Ali “was never really gone.” She also warns the girls that “he’s here.”
Aaannnddd the black hoodie walks up to the lair. The camera slowly pans around to reveal … Ezra’s face. And he is pissed.
Liars, I’m going to be honest with you: This is the one road I never wanted the show to go down, and yet I think it’s also the only thing that will keep me watching. Bravo, PLL. But also, I hate you.Source and More Details

The actress's publicist told the BBC the couple had taken the decision in order to "evaluate and work on their marriage".

Douglas, 68, and Swansea-born Zeta Jones, 43, married in 2000 after meeting in France two years earlier.

They have two children - Dylan, 13, and Carys, 10.

The pair have both struggled with health problems in recent years.

Douglas was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2010, while Zeta Jones sought treatment for bipolar disorder in 2011 and again earlier this year.

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, Douglas claimed his condition - which is now in remission - had been caused by oral sex.

'Second chance'
The couple share the same birthday, 25 September, and met at the Deauville Film Festival in France in 1998.

They had their first child in August 2000, and married three months later in a lavish ceremony at New York's Plaza hotel, where guests included Goldie Hawn, Christopher Reeve, Jack Nicholson and Brad Pitt.

OK! magazine paid £1m for exclusive access to photographs of the day, but rival magazine Hello! spoiled the scoop by publishing pictures taken by somebody pretending to be a guest or a waiter.

A long legal battle followed in the UK, with the couple arguing that Hello! had invaded their privacy.

The case was eventually resolved in 2007, when the House Of Lords ruled Hello! had breached OK!'s confidentiality.

Prior to the wedding, the couple reportedly signed a pre-nuptial agreement, which entitles Zeta Jones to £1m for every year of their marriage in the event of the relationship coming to an end.

Douglas insisted on the contract after his first wife, Diandra, was awarded £44m in their divorce.

Speaking to the Mirror earlier this month, the actor said his biggest regret was not ending his first marriage sooner. He had married Diandra in 1977 and they separated in 1995, but did not file for divorce until 2000.

"I have nothing against her and in fact I'm very fond of my first wife," he said, "but we should have ended that marriage eight or 10 years earlier".

"It took me too long to realise that if you go to a marriage counsellor to resolve problems, it's in his interest to keep the marriage going."Source and More Details

Chelsea E. Manning[3][4] (born Bradley Edward Manning, 17 December 1987) is a United States Army soldier who was convicted in July 2013 of several violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses, after releasing the largest set of restricted documents ever leaked to the public. She was sentenced to 35 years in prison and dishonorably discharged.[1] She will be eligible for parole after serving one third of her sentence, and together with credits for time served and good behavior could be released eight years after sentencing.[5]
Assigned in 2009 to an army unit based near Baghdad, Manning had access there to databases used by the United States government to transmit classified information. She was arrested in Iraq in May 2010 after Adrian Lamo, a computer hacker, told the FBI that Manning had confided during online chats that she had downloaded material from these databases and passed it to WikiLeaks. The material included videos of the July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike and the 2009 Granai airstrike in Afghanistan; 250,000 United States diplomatic cables; and 500,000 army reports that came to be known as the Iraq War logs and Afghan War logs.[6] Much of the material was published by WikiLeaks or its media partners between April and November 2010.[6]
Manning was ultimately charged with 22 offenses, including aiding the enemy, the most serious charge.[7] She was held at the Marine Corps Brig, Quantico, Virginia, from July 2010 to April 2011 under Prevention of Injury status – which entailed de facto solitary confinement and other restrictions that caused domestic and international concern – before being transferred to Fort Leavenworth, where she could interact with other detainees.[8] She pleaded guilty in February 2013 to 10 of the charges.[9] The trial on the remaining charges began on June 3, 2013, and on July 30 she was convicted of 17 of the original charges and amended versions of four others; she was acquitted of aiding the enemy.[2] On 21 August she was sentenced to 35 years in prison, with a credit of 1,293 days for her time in pre-trial detention, including 112 days' credit for her treatment at Quantico.[1] She will serve her time at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas in the United States Disciplinary Barracks.[10]
Reaction to Manning's disclosures, arrest and sentence was mixed. Denver Nicks, one of Manning's biographers, writes that the leaked material, particularly the diplomatic cables, was widely seen as a catalyst for the Arab Spring that began in December 2010, and that Manning was viewed as both a 21st-century Tiananmen Square Tank Man and an embittered traitor.[11] Several commentators focused on why an apparently very unhappy Army private had access to classified material, and why security measures had not prevented the unauthorized downloads.[12] Reporters Without Borders condemned the sentence received by Manning, saying it demonstrates how vulnerable whistleblowers are and exemplifies how severely the US will punish "anyone who uncovers information of public interest concerning the exercise of official power."[13]
Manning has had gender identity disorder since childhood and released a statement the day after her sentencing identifying as female, taking the name Chelsea Manning and expressing a desire to undergo hormone replacement therapySource and More Details

In 1995, Miller relocated to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.[11] He has stated that his rocky road to stardom "was a long time in the coming and there were a lot of upsets and a lot of failures and roadblocks, but I couldn’t walk away from it. I needed it like I needed air, it was just something I had to do."[12]
Miller's first TV appearance was as student-turned-sea monster Gage Petronzi on Buffy the Vampire Slayer ("Go Fish", 1998).
Miller's first starring role was in 2002 as the sensitive, introverted David Scott in ABC's mini-series Dinotopia. After appearing in a few minor television roles, he moved on to co-star in the 2003 film The Human Stain, playing the younger version of the Anthony Hopkins character, Coleman Silk. He identified strongly with the core dilemma of the movie, being that of a man struggling with his heritage. Miller worked extensively on the role, not only in researching Anthony Hopkins, but by embarking on a four month regimen to accurately portray Silk as a boxer.
He had a minor role in the film Underworld, playing a doctor and friend of the character Michael Corvin.
In 2005, Miller was cast as Michael Scofield in Fox Network's television drama Prison Break. He played the role of a caring brother who created an elaborate scheme to help his brother, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) escape death row after being found guilty of a crime he did not commit. His character had a full upper body (front and back) tattoo. Covering both the front of Miller's torso and his back, along with both arms from shoulders to wrists, the special effects for the tattoo took over four hours to apply. His performance in the show earned him a 2005 Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series.[13]
Miller appeared in two Mariah Carey music videos, "It's Like That" as a party guest and "We Belong Together" as her love interest. Director Brett Ratner, who directed the pilot episode of Prison Break, was also signed on to direct the two Carey videos. Ratner decided to use Miller in the videos as well.[14]
In addition, Miller guest-starred on the Season 11 premiere of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit as Detective Nate Kendall, a detective from Precinct 24 of the NYPD.[15][16] He also featured in Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth film in the commercially successful Resident Evil film series based on the video game series of the same name; Miller plays Chris Redfield, one of the protagonists of the video game series.
Screenwriting
Miller wrote the screenplay for the film Stoker, as well as a prequel to Stoker, Uncle Charlie.[17] He used the pseudonym Ted Foulke, later explaining "I just wanted the scripts to sink or swim on their own."[18] Miller's script was voted to the 2010 "Black List" of the 10 best unproduced screenplays then making the rounds in Hollywood.[19] The film is about a teenage girl who must deal with a mysterious uncle following the death of her father. Miller described it as a "horror film, a family drama and a psychological thriller."[20] Although influenced by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Miller has clarified that Stoker is not a vampire story.[20][21] Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt also influenced the film but only as a jumping-off point, from which the story takes a different direction.[20] Park Chan-wook directed, with stars Mia Wasikowska as the teenager, Nicole Kidman as the mother, and Matthew Goode as the uncle.[22] The film was released in 2013. Miller has also sold a screenplay for a film called "The Disappointments Room", the story reportedly also a family drama with horror elements as is "Stoker", to Voltage Pictures and Killer Films.[23] Miller is reportedly in negotiations to write the screenplay adaptation of the novel The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski which is set to be produced by Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks among others.Source and More Details
