It's about time. After getting Casey Affleck onboard early February it has taken Warner Bros. over two months to find a director for The Kind One. Well, at least they found somebody worth waiting for.
Ridley Scott to Direct The Kind One
Ridley Scott will direct and produce WB's period noir drama The Kind One.
Based on a novel by Tom Epperson -- who has also been drafted to write the screenplay -- The Kind One is set in 1930s Los Angeles and centers on an amnesiac who finds himself working for a mobster -- a killer given the nickname "the Kind One" -- and falling in love with the thug's girlfriend. .
Jules Daly will also produce for Scott Free.
"It's a world that Ridley has never touched before, so that's what drew him to the project," said Daly, who worked with Affleck when she produced The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
