Danny DeVito Back to Directing

He's bringing Freeman, Brosnan and Ronan with him

Danny DeVito

Danny DeVito’s last feature film was one of the worst films I have ever seen. Duplex starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore earned a grand total of $9.6 million at the box-office and was the last time DeVito directed a feature length project, until now.

Variety is reporting DeVito is set to direct Saoirse Ronan, Morgan Freeman and Pierce Brosnan in The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle from his own screenplay based on the novel by the author who writes under the name Avi. The 19th century-set tale centers on a young girl (Ronan) who joins in a shipboard rebellion.

Filming is set to begin in September for 2009 release.

Goes to show the influence the fanboys and girls have on the Internet
Preparing to sum it all up...
The director shuffle on meaningless movies
Wanted, Narnia, Step Brothers and Casablanca lead off the week
Turn your brain off and enjoy
It's a miracle I am still awake to talk about it
Yup, he actually likes it... a lot I would say
'Kung Fu Panda' leads the way with 17, nine for 'Bolt' and eight for 'WALL-E'
Feeling an urge to at least say something
Ahhhh, gotta like that word - 'cerebral'

I can't get on board with this thinking
'Benjamin Button' gets the international shaft
A director is possibly named...
Live from the set of Malta... well... not really live...
Jack's back and while the prequel ain't much there's still hope
Crazy makes for a fun film, but not necessarily a good one
Four Christmases pulls a slight upset...
Front loaded weekends are hard to follow-up
Will the guest stars outshine the lead?
It's a feast of post-holiday pictures
Van Damme can certainly play himself, but is that where it ends?
Expanding the picks and adding fancy graphics
The only place on the internet for box office predictions!!
I have some names for you to consider
Fantastic acting and a message the United States needs right now make 'Milk' a must see
