Rinsch wants 47 Ronin
Carl Erik Rinsch is in negotiations to direct Keanu Reeves in 47 Ronin. This feature, under Universal Pictures, tells the story of a band of samurai swordsmen who avenge the death of their master in 18th century Japan (Variety). The film will be produced by Pam Abdy and Scott Stuber under Stuber Pictures with Chris Morgan penning the script. Morgan’s previous written work includes Fast and Furious, the fourth film to the illegal race car driving franchise.
Rinsch, believe it or not, was previously in talks to direct the prequel to the Ridley Scott film Alien for awhile. No word yet on when exactly this particular picture is going to start up production.
I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job.
College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
