Word comes from Bloody Disgusting that Cusack is getting in touch with his dark side in JACK, which has an irresistible premise with a potentially fascinating lead character. The script has been bumping around for quite a while, but it’s ready to take off now, with genre pro Brad Anderson sitting in the director’s chair and now a big name attached.

The flick is about a doctor who falls for a patient suffering from memory loss, completely unaware of the victim’s violent history as a methodical serial killer. As his memories being to surface, Jack begins to piece together the fragments of his past and realizes his true identity.
