After a hiatus when he returned to Europe to direct the excellent Black Book and the upcoming The Winter Queen, it’s been announced that Paul Verhoeven will head back to Hollywood to make a new movie called The Surrogate.
The Basic Instinct director is said to be developing the script, which is about a couple who hire a surrogate to have a baby for them and then discover that the woman carrying their kid is insane. We can almost see the protests from pro-surrogacy groups already.
There’s been no date set yet for when the film might go into production, but as Verhoeven’s slate is already fairly busy, it might be a while.
