John Cusack is a god. He is superb fun, he easily tears through his role with ease and he’s got one of those faces that manages to be comic without really doing anything when it needs to be, then strong and imposing without much effort. I personally love him, as an actor that is, as does my girlfriend, and that’s also in the same way!
So it’s wonderful news when you hear that not only is he signed up for a new project, but that there are comparisons, tenuous as they may be, to Grosse Point Blank. He’s signed up to a movie with a contract killer…okay, really tenuous, but if it’s funny and he’s the killer? Cinema Confidential carry the story from Variety.
…John Cusack and Morgan Freeman have joined “The Contract,” a thriller to be directed by Bruce Beresford.
Written by Stephen Katz and John Darrouzet, the film tells the story of a family outing gone wrong when a grandfather, son and grandson cross paths with a contract killer.
Sounds interesting, and with the talents of Morgan Freeman on board, even more so. One to definitely keep an eye on.
