Miramax has commissioned Come Closer and set noted fashion photographer Carter Smith to direct, according to Variety. Tristine Skyler will pen the screenplay, adapting from a novel by Sara Gran. The story concerns a woman who may be possessed by unseen forces or simply may be losing her mind. Miramax plans to go into production early next year. "Come Closer" has a complicated history. It was originally developed as more of a straight thriller at Dimension when the Weinsteins were still at Miramax, with "Wings of the Dove" scribe Hossein Amini penning the screenplay. But the project went on the backburner after the Weinsteins split from the Disney fold. Amini, who had written a draft, then moved on to other projects.
