I’ve enjoyed a lot of Tony Scott’s films but not so much that I actively follow the man’s upcoming projects, but Domino is one I’ve been waiting for. Why? Script by Richard Kelly, baby. Kelly’s the genius behind Donnie Darko and the upcoming Southland Tales and he is definitely a major talent to watch. While this looks to be a little more straight forward than Kelly’s other work it still sounds plenty odd. Check out the Hollywood Reporter‘s summary:
“The real-life story centers on Domino Harvey, the daughter of actor Laurence Harvey, who starred in the original version of “The Manchurian Candidate.” Domino Harvey ditched a career as a Ford model to become a bounty hunter. The project has long been gestating at Scott Free, but it heated up when Scott took to Kelly’s script, which incorporates flashbacks, flash-forwards, and characters from “Beverly Hills, 90210.””
Keira Knightley (Pirates of The Caribbean, King Arthur, Bend it Like Beckham) will star in the lead role with shooting scheduled to start next month. The film is is being handled in North America by New Line.
