My good friend Richard Shepard (“The Matador”) has put pen to paper on another marvellous script, called “Spring Break in Bosnia”. It basically revolves around a young up-and-coming journalist, a cameraman and a disreputable seasoned journo who band together to find the no.1 war criminal in Bosnia.
Now before you start screaming, “Let’s get Skase”! – let me stress, the film takes a much more serious turn that that one, with the threesome then mistakenly branded as the C.I.A and consequently, they find themselves the target of those they’re seeking out. The Predator becomes the hunted, if you will.
It’s going to be a terrific little film.
The Weinstein’s picked it up a few weeks back, and both Richard Gere and Terrence Howard signed on to play the roles of the cameraman and discredited journalist, respectively. Today, it was announced that young Jesse Eisenberg, one of the ill-fated stars of Wes Craven’s “Cursed”, has joined the cast. He’ll play the young journo.
Rich is going to direct the thing – and if you’ve never seen what the man can do behind the camera, check out some of his lesser-known films, like “Oxygen” or “Mexico City” – too, so pretty confident that the labour-of-love is going to turn out quite magnificently.
