Daniel Craig

We haven’t seen much of Daniel Craig since the gargantuan success of Skyfall – indeed the only upcoming movie IMDB has him listed for is the next 007 film. However now Variety reports that Craig has taken the lead in Courtney Hunt’s upcoming courtroom drama The Whole Truth.

No plot details have been release, but we do know he will be portraying a lawyer. Frozen River director Courtney Hunt is directing from a script by Nicholas Kazan. Richard Suckle will be producing with FilmNation handling foreign rights.

It’s not clear when it might shoot, although presumably it’ll be before Bond 24, which is due to film later this year.

It seems Reese Witherspoon has lined another movie up, as while she’s only down to produce at the moment, the idea is they’ll shape Rule #1 into a movie for her to start in. Cinema Blend has the news and says they’ve already found a director for the movie, with Courtney Hunt (Frozen River) down to helm.

The film will see Witherspoon ‘play 34-year-old Diana McBride, a woman coping with her OCD who agrees to take in an unpredictable young stranger – who happens to have a newborn baby – in an effort to face her anxieties. Ultimately, McBride’s plan is to win back her estranged husband by convincing him she can handle her chaotic existence.’

Sounds a bit like she’s angling for another Oscar, which might not be a bad plan, as she hasn’t exactly had a huge amount of luck since Walk The Line. There’s no news on when the film might shoot.
