Master Of Scares Philip Seymour Hoffman To Direct Ghost Story ‘Ezekiel Moss’

Wookie Johnson — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:42:12 +0000

With Jack Goes Boating underneath his directing belt, Philip Seymour Hoffman is once again stepping behind the camera, and this time the project will appeal to not only boating enthusiasts. THR reports Hoffman will direct Ezekial Moss, a supernatural drama that appeared on the 2011 Black List.

The story centers on a mysterious stranger who can speak to the dead. His arrival in a small town has a profound effect on the residents, particularly a widow and her young son. No word yet whether or not Hoffman will play the role of the mysterious ghost whisperer. If so, he’s setting himself up for failure. Those are some mighty big shoes to fill.

David Arquette Will Direct A Movie Called ‘Glutton’!

Dave Horwitz — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 17:48:27 +0000

Did you know that David Arquette is a director? I didn’t. I mean, a lot of actors have dabbled with directing, so I’m not shocked, so whatever! Good on you, Arqy! That’s what I’m going to call him from now on.

ANYWAY, the former Mr. Cox, soon to be seen in Scream 4, will be helming the 3D psychological thriller Glutton, penned by Kenny Yakkel, which has been described as being similar to Misery. The film will be produced by Stan Spry Cameron Larson, R. Scott Reid, R. Scott Reid, Steve Ecclesine and Norween Yakkel, and executive produced by Arquette’s Coquette Productions. Glutton starts shooting in July in Canada. Ill be waiting at my local Redbox until further notice. (Variety)

‘Clash of the Titans II’ has a Director: Jonathan Liebesman

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

Jonathan Liebesman will direct Clash of the Titans II, Coming Soon is reporting. Liebesman, who also directed the upcoming Battle: Los Angeles, will most likely be joined by Sam Worthington and Gemma Arterton, who both starred in the first installment. Unlike the first film, which was retrofitted, the sequel will be shot entirely in 3D. Also, unlike the first film, Clash of the Titans II will supposedly have a plot mapped out before shooting begins.

(Spoiler Alert) Hopefully this sequel will avoid some of the pitfalls of its predecessor. For example, one of the worst scenes from Clash of the Titans was the ending, when Zeus randomly resurrected a character who had died earlier in the film. Resurrection? Talk about an unbelievabl cop out? No wonder no one worships Zeus anymore.
