Brad Anderson, the man behind the under-appreciated asylum haunted house flick "Session 9" and the upcoming emaciated insomniatic Christian Bale movie "The Machinist" is continuing this trend with plans for another dark psychological thriller.
Anderson told <a href="http://www.twitchfilm.com/archives/2004/10/brad_anderson_a.html" target="_blank">Twitch Film</a> that "Well I have a dark “Don’t Look Now” type thriller called Lucid that I’m developing at Warner Brothers and that would be my first studio film if I got that going. And then I have a Brazilian Bossanova musical set in Rio during the sixties. It would be another genre hop which I like doing but ultimately I really do love these dark psychological films".
He isn't averse to more mainstream fare though - "I’d be interested in trying my hand at a bigger picture. Whether it’s a studio film or not I would like to have more money because it allows you a broader vision. I mean, I know some directors who work on bigger projects and in the end it means more compromises but every movie is a series of compromises in some way".
Thanks to 'Christofer'.
