One of my favorite directors out there is the criminally underrated Brad Anderson. Actually I suppose he’s not entirely underrated… Moviegoers out there who appreciate a good flick tend to enjoy Anderson’s stuff. The guy puts out quality. Team him with an actor like Christian Bale and you get yourself something amazing like THE MACHINIST. Well it seems the duo are at it once again!
Fresh out of the American Film Market it seems Anderson and Bale are set to team once again for a survival thriller called CONCRETE ISLAND. Coming from Filmax International, the flick will be based on the best-selling novel by J.G. Ballard. Scott Kosar is adapting the script. Want the rundown for this one? Of course you do! Check it:
Robert Maitland, a wealthy architect, finds himself stranded in a manmade ‘island’ (a section of fenced-off wasteland in the middle of a motorway intersection) between the Westway and M4 Motorway in West London, forced to survive on only what is in his crashed Jaguar and what he is able to find.
Described as a twisted adaptation of ROBINSON CRUSOE, the flick seems pretty simple on the outside but with a team like Anderson and Bale behind this one I have a feeling the end product is going to be pretty awesome. What says you guys? You getting the same feeling?
Spit some bullets below and let us know how you’re feeling about CONCRETE ISLAND as we wait for more updates from this one to come our way.
