Stoker - Jodie Foster, Carey Mulligan, director Park Chan-wook
Quote:
EXCLUSIVE: Few directors get hardcore film fans excited as much as Park Chan-wook, the South Korean auteur behind the international favorite "Oldboy."
Now those fans could get to see Park direct an English-language movie featuring major stars.
According to two people familiar with the film, Park is in talks to direct "Stoker," a dramatic thriller about a young woman whose eccentric uncle comes back into her life after the death of her father.
"Stoker," you may recall, is the first film from "Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller, who penned the script in his other life as a screenwriter, and is being produced by Ridley and Tony Scott's company. [...] Carey Mulligan is playing the young woman, and Jodie Foster is costarring in the movie (the uncle part has yet to be cast, but it's likely to be a boldfaced name too, according to sources). There's no known major genre element in the film, which is being developed by "Juno" and "Slumdog Millionaire" studio Fox Searchlight, but the tone sits right in Park's wheelhouse.
