XOXO Gets Adjustment Bureau Director George Nolfi

August 28, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

George Nolfi turned out to be a pretty proficient director with The Adjustment Bureau, and now he’s lining up a new project, as Variety reports he has signed on to direct XOXO, Lionsgate’s social networking cyber thriller.

News of the project first emerged last October, when the studio acquired the spec screenplay from Mark Heyman (Black Swan), which Darren Aronofsky has been overseeing. The story is about a man engaged to be married, who also enjoys a little online flirting on the side. He strikes up a virtual romance with a woman he meets on Facebook, although he begins to realise that this cyber romance is affecting his real life, in dangerous ways. The project is being described as “Fatal Attraction for the digital age.”

Aronofsky will produce, although it isn’t known when production will begin.

George Nolfi May Have One Minute To Midnight

August 7, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There have already been a few decent movies about the Cuban Missile Crisis, but it appears few people have watched to likes of the excellent Thirteen Days, as Hollywood is planning another take on the story, as The Adjustment Bureau’s writer/director George Nolfi is attached to helm One Minute to Midnight.

THR reports that Nolfi will also rewrite the adaptation of Michael Dobbs’ 2008 non-fiction novel, One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War. The title refers to the doomsday clock and just how close it came to the end of the world in 1962!

The book is an hour-by-hour account of the events on all sides of the conflict between The United States and The Soviet Union, when the communists attempted to place missiles in Cuba, which was far to close to the States for comfort, and led to a potentially cataclysmic stand-off as the Russian missiles sailed towards the island.

There’s no news on when the movie might shoot.
