Daniel Craig Looking to Build His ‘Dream House’
The new James Bond, Daniel Craig, is looking to mix it up a bit as it’s being reported that he is in early talks to star in Dream House, a psychological thriller set up at Morgan Creek to be directed by Jim Sheridan, though principals stress that the two sides have not reached a deal. In the David Loucka script, Craig would play a man who moves his family to an idyllic small town, only to find his house haunted by its former inhabitants, who were murdered there. Universal Pictures will distribute the film.
