With his career skyrocketing following Warrior, Joel Edgerton must be feeling pretty happy right about now. But he’s also been feeling creative, cranking out a spec script called One Night Stand that he’s just sold to New Regency.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stand is a comedy drama described as “an honest look at a man and a woman in the aftermath of a one night stand.” And here we were thinking that given the title, it was an interstellar tale of espionage and planetary destruction.
But – at least for now – it’s also not Edgerton creating work for himself. He’s planning to take an executive producer’s credit, but won’t star in the film if it gets made.
He’s busy enough as it is anyway. With Warrior and The Thing under his belt from last year, he’s got several films on the way in 2012, including indie Wish You Were Here, Disney’s The Odd Life Of Timothy Green and the small matter of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby. Plus he’s also won one of the lead roles in Kathryn Bigelow’s action thriller about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
