Killing at New Line

Variety is reporting this morning that New Line Cinema and Kopelson Entertainment have joined forces and picked up KILLING ON CARNIVAL ROW, with director Neil Jordan attached to direct. As Jordan was behind INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, and CARNIVAL is set to feature vampires, along with other creatures, I’d say we’re gearing up for a good time with this one!

Set in Victorian days, CARNIVAL follows a detective pursuing a killer in a city filled with humans, faeries, elves and vampires. While that’s the extent of what’s known about the plot thus far, I can say that actually sounds like it could be cool. Movies that feature weird creatures living side-by-side people are generally pretty darn entertaining to say the least.

Arnold and Anne Kopelson are set to produce. The duo also produced such classics as SEVEN, and the entertaining Schwarzenegger vehicle, ERASER. Add that with Jordan’s directing skills, and you have yourself one flick with tons of potential. Let’s just hope they don’t f*ck it up…
