Paul Verhoeven - who directed tons of high profile pics including Total Recall, RoboCop, Basic Instinct, Starship Troopers and Hollow Man - is coming back to America as the Dutch director, who most recently helmed his native-tongued “Black Book,” has come aboard to develop and direct The Surrogate, a thriller for 20th Century Fox. Based on the 2004 book by Kathryn Mackel, the story centers on a couple desperate to have a child who find themselves in an unbearable position when they find out the surrogate they hired to carry their baby is insane. The project originally was set up at Fox Atomic but moved to Fox proper when Atomic was shuttered. Debbie Liebling, who ran Atomic, is overseeing “Surrogate.” Roderick Taylor and Bruce Taylor wrote the original draft.
hmmm, sounds interesting. I happen to really like Paul Verhoeven. He hasn't made a mainstream flick since Hollow Man, so hopefully he can get back in that American form.
Paul Verhoeven hasn't done anything recently except for Black Book, which was very good. I hope this movie turns out well.
