Unthinkable

The Fall

Variety reports that Sidney Kimmel Entertainment has signed Tarsem to direct Unthinkable a contemporary political thriller set in the U.S, in which Kimmel and Cotty Chubb are producing.

Tarsem is collaborating with scribe Peter Woodward (Closing the Ring) on revising the spec script and production might begin late in the first quarter.

Tarsem is the celebrated commercials and video director whose first foray into feature filmmaking came with The Cell and then he followed that with the very ambitious (2006 Toronto film festival selected) The Fall – a fantasy film that is perhaps one of the top properties currently seeking a distribution deal in the U.S. Inspired by a short, Bulgarian film the director saw at a film festival almost a decade ago – the film is based around the relationship between a little girl and an injured stuntman she meets in a hospital.
