Writer-director Rian Johnson has announced his next film. The man behind Brick will next work on The Brothers Bloom. And he’s been spilling the details to the CHUD website.
According to Johnson, “It’s about these two guys who grow up in and out of foster homes as kids and they learn to survive by becoming con men. It starts out with this ten-minute sequence of them pulling their first con as kids. It has a kind of Paper Moon-type feel to it, that opening sequence. But in the rest of the movie it’s them as adults. It’s not period but it’s very much its own world, if that makes any sense. I think the style of it will owe more to the earlier part of the 20th century than the later.”
He’s currently getting the finance together and meeting with possible actors. Oh, and he’s also put up a teaser website for the film (can’t blame the man for trying to spread the word early), which you can take a gander at here.
