John Polson – last seen scaring Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning as the director of Hide And Seek – has found his next film.
He’ll direct Tenderness, based on Robert Cormier’s teen serial killer novel. The plot follows a teenage runaway who becomes entangled with a charming serial killer she meets on the road. Emil Stern is adapting the book, and production is scheduled for early next year. There’s no cast attached yet.
