For a while now, Daniel Craig has been vaguely attached to a movie called Dream House (indeed we reported on it a couple of months ago), however that’s role’s become a bit more official, with Variety reporting that he’s now committed to star in the Jim Sheridan movie, and that the film will start shooting on January 25th, once Craig has finished his Broadway run in A Steady Rain, opposite Hugh Jackman.
Dream House is billed as a Supernatural thriller, in which Craig will play a New York publishing executive who moves his family to a small New England town, only to find that their new house is haunted by the people who were murdered there.
It’s a bit of an odd move for six-time Oscar nominee Jim Sheridan, as he’s normally made very well received but rather serious movies like My Left Foot, In The Name Of The Father and In America. However his involvement hopefully means there’ll be more to Dream House than the rather generic haunted house plot that been announced so far.
Any anyway, what we’d like to know is why anyone from a city ever moves to small town America? It never works out well, as evidenced from thousands upon thousands of movies. Just stay in the cities, at least you’ll only be attacked by aliens, meteorites or tidal waves there.
