Back when "Prison Break" first premiered, lead actor Wentworth Miller looked like a superstar in the making. The badass shaved head, the solid acting--it just seemed to me like he had the chance to break out in a big way. That never happened for Miller, although "Prison Break" did end up lasting for four seasons, which is something to be proud of, I guess.
Either way, Miller didn’t do much with his star chance, so it's great to see him headlining a new project, even if it is a small one. According to Variety, Miller is attached to star in the $3 million indie dramedy "Analog."
The story follows an introverted genius who tries to find a love connection in an increasingly digital world. Mike Million ("Tenure") directs from his own 2005 Black List screenplay.
Maybe I have a soft spot for Miller because he went to high school in my neighborhood, but either way, I really think he is a solid actor and perhaps this film could lead him to doing more movies in the future. The simple premise of the film sound very unique and the fact that the script was on the Black List is a huge plus for the project.
Brendan McDonald is producing with shooting potentially ready to start this summer in Michigan.
You know he wrote the script 'Stoker' which was also on the Black List for 2010 and Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth and Mia Wasikowska ( Alice in wonderland) are going to be in it. Park Chan - Wook is directing it and it will be his first English debut. The guy is a bit of a legend so to get him to direct is huge. Not bad for a first time script. Just because he's not in front of the camera doesn't mean other things aren't happening.
