Fox 2000 is sticking close to Ridley Scott. The studio has picked up the director to helm Stones, a supernatural thriller that Scott Free will also produce.
Ridley Scott to Direct Stones
Stones is a big-scale supernatural thriller revolving around the mysterious destruction of ancient religious sites around the world. It turns out that Stonehenge is the tie that binds together artifacts that still have primeval powers. Hence the title Stones.
Scott will direct off a script by Matt Cirulnick.
Cirulnick came up with the idea of Stones while scripting Elysium. He came up with the idea that Stonehedge, the great pyramids and other artifacts were built for a specific, but unified purpose.
Like many current productions, Stones will have to wait for the WGA strike to close out; and only God knows how long that will take.
Scott is busy directing Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe in Body Of Lies for Warner Bros.
