Brad Silberling has found three films to keep him occupied since he finished Lemony Snicket’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events.
First up, he’ll shoot indie drama Ten Items Or Less, based on his own script. "It's about a celebrity who gets lost in an LA minority community while researching a role, and how a chance meeting with a grocery checkout worker helps both of them turn their lives around," Silberling told Variety. Morgan Freeman and Paz Vega are starring.
Ten Items will be followed by Juno, a comedy drama which sees a pregnant woman make odd choices about the future of her unborn child.
Finally, late 2006 will see him shooting The Crusaders. The Terrence Howard starring film was written by West Wing writers Paul Redford and Lawrence O'Donnell and is based on the Jack Greenberg memoir Crusaders In The Courts. It's the 1954 case in which the author and Thurgood Marshall led the NAACP to win a case that helped end segregation in schools. Howard’s playing Thurgood.
