Michael Keaton is set to go behind the camera for only the second time in his career – after helming 2008’s The Merry Gentleman – to direct and star in the noir thriller Knox Goes Away.
The film “follows a contract killer who, after being diagnosed with a fast-moving form of dementia, is presented with the opportunity to redeem himself by saving the life of his estranged adult son. But to do so he must race against the police closing in on him as well as the ticking clock of his own rapidly deteriorating mind.”
