During an interview with GQ to promote his directorial debut Falling, Viggo Mortensen has revealed that he’s planning to reteam with his A History of Violence and Eastern Promises director David Cronenberg on a new project this year.
“We do have something in mind,” said Mortensen. “It’s something he wrote a long time ago, and he never got it made. Now he’s refined it, and he wants to shoot it. Hopefully, it’ll be this summer we’ll be filming. I would say, without giving the story away, he’s going maybe a little bit back to his origins.”
“Yeah, it’s very interesting,” Mortensen replied when asked if this means a potential return to the body horror elements of Cronenberg’s earlier work. “It’s almost like a strange film noir story. It’s disturbing and it’s good, I think. But since his origins, he’s obviously developed in terms of technique and self-assurance as a director.”
As yet, there’s no further details on the project, but assuming it does come together in the summer then hopefully we’ll have some news soon.
