Actor and living legend William H. Macy announced that he will be directing his first feature film next year.
“I'm going to direct a film called Keep Coming Back," he told Coming Soon.net. "It stars Salma Hayek, but she's the only name I can name. This is a real movie, it's an indie."
"I read the script by Will Alditch, and I saw it in my mind's eye so clearly," he explained. "They sent me the script asking if I wanted to play the father or this internist, and they were both wonderful roles. Mostly, I was so excited about the story and the way Will writes. It's so witty and adult and smart, and yet kinda broad and outrageous. I just called him up and said, 'Yeah, I liked it a lot. Who's directing?' At that point, Will was going to direct it himself, but he said, 'If you want to direct it, you direct it.' I'll act a small role [in this one], about four scenes."
Macy was speaking during promotion of his new film Edmond, based on David Mamet’s searing play of the same name, so for more on that and his other upcoming projects – including the highly-tantalising prospect of a Broadway run opposite his (desperate house) wife Felicity Huffman, check out the link above.
