He's on for the supernatural thriller
Aaron Paul hasn’t exactly enjoyed the greatest cinematic year, what with the double disappointment of Need For Speed and A Long Way Down. But he has plenty of interesting projects coming up and has just signed on for supernatural thriller The 9th Life Of Louis Drax .
Adapted by Max Minghella from Liz Jensen’s novel, the story starts on the titular lad’s ninth birthday, when, following a lifetime of strange accidents, he suffers a fall that nearly ends his life. Jamie Dornan is set to play a doctor who starts treating the boy, and discovers a mystery that snaps the boundaries between reality and fantasy.
Paul, meanwhile, will play the boy’s father, who comes under investigation following the incident. Alexandre Aja is directing, bringing to life a project originally developed by Anthony Minghella before his death and kept moving by his son. Cameras are scheduled to start rolling next month in Vancouver. Paul, who recently scored his third Emmy for Breaking Bad, has worked on John Hillcoat’s crime thriller Triple Nine and Gabriele Muccino’s drama Fathers And Daughters. He’ll next be seen in Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods And Kings, which arrives here on December 26.
