Dunst Seeing Demons In 'Jealous Ghost'

Even though I'm not fan, a film that's pretty well-made is the Spanish thriller KING OF THE HILL, which was snatched up by the Wesintein's at last year's Toronto International Film Festival. This evening, Director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego has officially been attached to his first American project, A Jealous Ghost, which already had Kirsten Dunsrt attached to topline. You can find more details on the project by reading on.

Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego is attached to direct the Paramount Vantage project "A Jealous Ghost," which Kirsten Dunst is starring in and producing.

Ben Forkner, Eric Kranzler and Daniel Rappaport of Film 360, the production arm of Management 360, are producing.

Screenwriter Megan Holley, who adapted the A.N. Wilson novel, is doing another short pass on the script before Vantage hopes to push it into production.

Wilson's 2005 novel describes a young American woman who travels to London to write a dissertation on Henry James' classic ghost tale, "The Turn of the Screw," only to find that her own circumstances begin to reflect the strange happenings of the story. An older synopsis reveals that Dunst playing a young woman studying in London who, upon beginning a relationship with one of her professors, starts seeing demons.

This literary horror project could be a priority for the newly reconstituted Vantage, which is looking to reshape its image. In July, the specialty division's marketing, physical production and distribution departments were woven into those of Paramount proper, and the staff was requisitely streamlined. Its next film, the Keira Knightley starrer "The Duchess," bows Friday.

Lopez-Gallego, repped by Paradigm, was featured as one of the 10 Latino filmmakers to watch in The Hollywood Reporter's Aug. 20 issue. A writer and editor as well, Lopez-Gallego made several short films before he co-wrote and directed "King of the Hill," a feature that has been touring the festival circuit since last year.

The plot has potential. Kirsten is too commercial for me.

I'm kinda looking forward to this foray by Kirsten just to see what kind of stamp she applies to the movie.
