Choreographer turned filmmaker Kevin Tancharoen (“Fameâ€) tells Moviehole he’s dancing into a science-fiction flick next.
“Arcanaâ€, says Tancharoean, “is a unique blend of the graphic-novel backdrop – like Blade Runner – and shot like 300, and has a little bit of Warriors mixed in there, with a little bit of martial arts, so it’s got a lot of crazy elements in there. It’s going to be really cool. We’re writing it right now actually – a guy named John Ridley is writing it; I’m very happy we got him.â€
Ridley recently wrote the script for “Red Tailsâ€, the George Lucas-produced adventure pic about the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American pilots to fly in a combat squadron during World War II.
The filmmaker says you shouldn’t be surprised that he, the dancing man, is next headed into “Blade Runner†territory.
“I’m first a comic and video-game nerd …. Who got into dancing somehowâ€, he laughs.
“Arcana†is set up at Rat Entertainment and will be produced by Brett Ratner (“X-Men : The Last Standâ€) and Jay Stern (“Rush Hour 3â€). Universal will distribute.
