Daily Shorts: All Today’s Smaller Movie News – Paddy Considine boards Ayoade’s Submarine, George Tillman to direct I Saw You and more

27th October 2009 By Tim Isaac

So we can cover as many films as possible, we thought we’d give you these quick updates on some of today’s smaller film announcements…

Richard Ayoade’s new indie movie, Submarine, has just started filming in Cardiff, with Paddy Considine, Noah Taylor and Sally Hawkins officially joining the cast. Michael Sheen, who has previously been linked to the film, is no longer involved. Ayoade, best known as the star of TV’s The IT Crowd, is making his feature directorial debut with the film, which is based on Joe Dunsthorne’s novel about a 15-year-old boy navigating his parents’ break up and his first relationship.

Trent Hagaa, horror actor and writer of the likes of Deadgirl and Raving Maniacs, is set to make his directorial debut with the thriller Chop, based on a script by Adam Minarovich. The film is said to be in the vein of Oldboy and Fargo and centres on a seemingly innocent young couple forced by a psychotic stranger to confront their duplicitous past.

Slate Screen Pictures has acquired the rights to ‘I Saw You: Comics Inspired by Real-Life Missed Connections’, Julia Wertz’s book about nearly missed romantic connections posted on Craigslist (you know, the ones that go, ‘I saw you on the train, we smiled at each other…’). Geroge Tillman (Men Of Honor, Notorious), will direct the movie, although at the moment the film is at an very early stage, as there’s no financing and no writer has been hired to turn series of romantic misadventures into a cohesive plot.

Josh Lawson, Emma Lung and Ron Perlman have been cast in the lead roles of the indie thriller Crave, which will be the directing debut of Charles de Lauzirika. The film is about a troubled photographer (Lawson) whose dangerous visions wreak havoc when his romance with a young woman (Lung) ends and he is pursued by a world-weary detective (Perlman). Lauzirika is mainly know for producing special features for DVDs, but is obviously hoping to be the main feature on the disc this time around. (Source: THR)

George Clooney is heading back to TV, but only as a producer. US television channel TNT has just given the greenlight to a pilot episode for Delta Blues, about an outstanding but unusual Memphis cop who moonlights as an Elvis impersonator and lives with his mother. Clooney will excutive produce the series through his Smokehouse Pictures production company. (Source: THR)
