"The new film has a director attached now, with J D Dillard – who has sprung to attention this year off the back of his debut feature, Sleight – set to call the shots. He’s also going to co-write the screenplay to the movie with Alex Theurer, his usual writing partner."

What about Cronenberg's "parallel" (as he put it) script?

What about Cronenberg's "parallel" (as he put it) script?

Apparently Cronenberg was interested in doing it...but when he didnt get the budget he needed he dropped out....

Its not just the script that matter though ..its the approach as well....this director may be good...but it seems like he probably couldnt make a movie up to Cronenbergs level at this stage on his career...
