Irish filmmaker Gerard Barrett’s has sold his hour-long drama Honey to FX. Story, which in development, is being kept under wraps and is set against the backdrop of the world of corporate espionage.
Deadline:
David Garrett’s Mister Smith Entertainment will handle international sales at Berlin’s EFM on director Gerard Barrett’s Brain On Fire, starring Dakota Fanning. Deadline previously broke the news that Charlize Theron’s Denver and Delilah Films had optioned Susannah Cahalan’s bestselling memoir Brain On Fire: My Month Of Madness as a star vehicle for Fanning.
Brain On Fire tells the true story of a young woman’s sudden descent into insanity as a result of a mysterious illness. The film will be produced by Denver and Delilah Films’ Charlize Theron, Beth Kono and AJ Dix, and Rob Merilees for Foundation Features.
Dakota Fanning is getting older now and I haven't seen much of her now that she's older. I would like to think that she's just as good an actor now as she was when she was younger. This is suppose to be a really good story and it's based on a true story which usually makes it better so I'll wait and see on this one.
Clickonline writes: "Gerard Barrett grew up in Kerry, on a farm in rural Ireland and never imagined that he would end up in the movie business. But with his first feature, Pilgrim Hill, currently earning rave reviews and a second film in pre-production, it’s clear he’s set on making his mark."
