Brad Anderson is set to take the helm of psychological serial-killer flick, “Jack,” which is being sold as an “incredibly commercial thriller, laced with tension and suspense.” “Jack” is being produced by Bold Films with sales currently handled by Affinity International in Cannes. Shooting will begin late August based on a script by David Venable.
The film will center on a serial killer suffering from amnesia who falls in love with a doctor. When memories begin to surface of his murderous past though, the man must decide whether to make a new start in his life or embrace “the killer within.”
Anderson replaces the previously attached Joseph Ruben with the project to mark his sixth feature film, the most notable being 2008’s “Transiberian” starring Woody Harrelson and Emily Moritmer and 2004 “The Machinist” starring a pre-‘Batman’ Christian Bale.
While “Transsiberian” didn’t exactly get rave reviews, we hope that Anderson finds his breakout project soon; could “Jack” be it? We hope so.
