He might not have the same high profile as his Avengers-wrangling older brother Joss, but Zack Whedon has being putting in solid work on various TV shows as well as being a crucial part of the team that brought Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog to life. He’s now making the leap to films with his directorial debut, Come And Find Me, and has landed Aaron Paul to star.
The busy former Breaking Bad actor (who just yesterday set up a new project with Hulu) is aboard to play a man named David, whose girlfriend goes missing. Then to add to that, he realises she’s been lying to him and isn’t who she was pretending to be, so he redoubles his efforts to find her.
With his leading man in place, Whedon can start the cameras rolling in Vancouver next month, working from his own script. He’s worked on the likes of Deadwood and Fringe, and was most recently part of the writing staff for 1980s-set computer TV drama Halt And Catch Fire.
Paul, as mentioned above, will star in a new series for Hulu and will next be seen on the big screen in John Hillcoat’s crime thriller Triple Nine (out September 18) and The 9th Life Of Louis Drax, which has yet to announce a release date. He’s also in drone thriller** Eye In The Sky** and will have a role alongside Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart in action comedy Central Intelligence, due out next year.
