Jennifer Love Hewitt returns to scares as a director
She started in the genre in the slasher film I Know What You Did Last Summer and its sequel, and after getting comfortable helming a few episodes of the series The Ghost Whisperer, Hewitt is set to direct her first feature film.
Variety has the lowdown:
“Jennifer Love Hewitt will make her feature directorial debut in an adaptation of family ghost story “Wait Till Helen Comes” through Hewitt’s Fedora Films and Just Believe Prods.
Producers are Hewitt and producing partner A.J. Rinella with Victoria Sanchez Mandryk co-producing and Manuel Freedman exec producing. Producers are eyeing a summer start.
Sanchez Mandryk has penned the script for “Wait Till Helen Comes,” based on the novel by Mary Downing Hahn, which centers on a 12-year-old girl who’s the eldest of three children in a blended family that moves from Baltimore into a house converted from a church in the Maryland countryside. The tormented ghost of a little girl comes to haunt the 12-year-old but forms an intimate though dangerous friendship with her seven-year-old stepsister.”




Perhaps she be better at directing, than acting or singing.
