Another week and another release. This time it is my adaptation of Arthur Miller's 'A View From the Bridge,' which is very much a prestige project. It probably won't do gangbusters at the box office, but I can see the critics enjoying this one. All I really want is a net gain over $1 million. That's all. Out of all my releases so far, 'Bridge' had by far the breeziest production. No casting changes, or drastic rewrites. It's been smooth sailing.
The pieces continue to come together for 'Midnight' which should see a release real soon what with the cast all announced now. Filling out the cast are Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Macht, and Bill Murray in a rare serious role. Huston will be playing a fortune teller, Macht will be playing Colin Farrell's friend, and Murray will be playing a small-town doctor. This was a hard movie to cast, and if 'Prince of Darkness' is any inclination, this project may not turn out too well, critically and financially. But I would love to be wrong about that.
Also in casting news, Christina Hendricks and Ray Winstone have joined 'The Question.' Ryan Gosling will playing the titular hero under the direction of David Slade. Zack Snyder is producing. I'm very glad to be giving Hendricks her first role in CMP, as she is a remarkable talent and beauty. 'The Question' should be my best shot at a box office hit, at least until 'Green Arrow' and other action projects make it production.
Speaking of Green Arrow, it's has come out in the news that Christopher Nolan, fresh off the release of the third 'Justice League' movie will serve as producer on my upcoming Green Arrow movie.
