You wait ages for a new John Carpenter movie and then two come along. First there is his prison movie, Riot, starring Nicholas Cage (hope it is one of Cage's better acting roles!). I posted the poster for that one here. Now there is news of another film directed by John Carpenter called The Prince.Filmstalker had the news and they say that the two writers on the film are Jeremy Passmore and Andre Fabrizio, whose previous credits include Special, the film about a man who is taking drugs that make him believe he's a superhero. Special is a great film and well thought out so they have got the moxie in the writing department.
About this new film they say:
“It's a bit of a departure. It's definitley more of a very character based crime movie. I don't know what's going on with it right now, but the premise is that this guy was the most [badass] gangster of all time in Las Vegas, and he's left the life and created this whole new world. His wife died but he's raising his kid. He's living in the middle of nowhere and he's this very religious, trying to live a straight life guy. His daughter is now going to school at UCLA and she disappears, and he goes looking for her. The trail leads to Vegas and he has to go get her, and the entire city kind of comes down on top of him.”
What's more he says they have completed a version that they're really happy with, and it's a brutal, violent and dark film at the end.
All sounds very promising and like the classic John Carpenter stuff that we just haven't seen in such a long time.
Are you excited about this news? My question to you is who could play the titular Prince?
