script Mark Jude Poirier wrote, which I will direct,” said Johnson. “It’s an awk- ward romance about a worn-down woman who works as a nanny and a housekeeper, and has no needs or desires of her own, until she falls for a trick the kids play on her — after which her desire lights on fire,” she explained.
Johnson added that she
is working on casting with agents Kerry Barden and Paul Schnee, who also cast Johnson’s Return. Dylan Sellers is producing the film. The di rec tor al so
revealed she is reworking her original script The Sec- ond Woman, which Ben Howe is on board to pro- duce. “It’s a character drama
and a bit of a thriller — a man disappears, leaving the two unconnected points of a love triangle alone together. It has two great roles for women of different generations,” said Johnson.
Reel assumes
the Position Ahead of Toronto, Paris- based Reel Suspects has taken on 1001 Ways To Enjoy The Missionary Position, Alan Chu’s sci-fi comedy starring Amanda Plummer, William Russ, Anthem Moss and Natasha Melnick. Peter Godwin produces. Reel Suspects has
closed deals on Laurent Bouhnik’s Q with the US (Strand), Canada (Axia) and UK (Axiom), with more territories still in discussion. Also, Reel has sold
Koen Mortier’s 22nd Of May to France’s Blaqout and Germany’s Donau. Wendy Mitchell
Eddie Marsan plans move behind camera
BY SARAH COOPER UK actor Eddie Marsan (who stars in TIFF selection Tyrannosaur) will direct his first feature, Pell Mell, for Warp Films. Marsan has written the
script for Pell Mell, which he describes as “Shakespeare’s Richard III set in 1960s London”. He is also set to star. The feature will be pro- duced by Peter Carlton and Robin Gutch for Warp Films along with independ- ent producer Laura Hast- ings-Smith (Hunger). Marsan told Screen he was “very excited” about
making the move into directing, adding it was regular collaborator Mike Leigh, for whom Marsan starred in Vera Drake and Happy-Go-Lucky, who encouraged him to get behind the camera. Carlton said: “It is early
days in terms of being at the start of the financing and casting process but we think Eddie has a brilliant vision for the film.” Production is planned for
2012. Meanwhile Marsan is
