Variety is reporting today that Daniel Craig has signed on to star in the psychological thriller Dreamhouse directed by Jim Sheridan. The film is set to start production January 25, 2010. Variety describes Craig’s role as “a New York publishing exec who relocates his family to a small New England town only to learn that their new home was the scene of a vicious murder.” The film is written by David Loucka and as of now no release date is set.
It looks like Sheridan is looking to pack on a really tight schedule this year. His new film Brothers starring Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal hits theaters Dec. 4th in the US and then internationally over the following 3 months. I am surprised that he would want to start production on a new film so soon. I have always been a fan of Daniel Craig’s work even before the James Bond days (even though that is a plus). I do wonder how this will effect the timing of a new James Bond film since I doubt that we will see a new Bond film in 2010 if Craig is working on this.
