Actor Thomas Dekker last directed a film – satirical drama Whore – back in 2008. He’s returning to the director’s chair for an indie thriller script he wrote called **Jack Goes Home **and has recruited Tomorrowland’s Britt Robertson and Twilight’s Nikki Reed to star{
Jack Goes Home is pitched as a horror-thriller that finds a magazine editor living and working in Los Angeles who is abruptly summoned back to his hometown in Colorado when his father dies in a car accident. Arriving to help nurse his mother back to health after the accident, he starts to uncover buried family secrets and lies that point to something strange about his very identity. He’s adopted! He’s a CIA sleeper agent assassin! HE WAS ACTUALLY DEAD THE WHOLE TIME! Actually, we don’t know what the specific details are, but Dekker has described the movie as "the kind of horror film that cannot be easily relegated to the slasher shelf. It is equal parts a family drama and, most importantly, a musing on grief." So there you go.
Reed is set as Jack’s best friend, while Robertson will be his pregnant fiancée. As for Jack? We’ll have to wait and see who ends up with that role.
Robertson is on our screens now in Nicholas Sparks adaptation The Longest Ride and will be seen opposite Eddie Murphy in Cook (AKA Henry Joseph Church). Reed has worked on indies Intramural, A Sunday Horse and Scout, and is filming The Highway Is For Gamblers.
