Not much here to expound on Production Weekly's Twitter feed which reveals that James McAvoy and Laura Linney are top-lining Jacob Aaron Estes' next film – a West Coast shoot in Seattle sometime this summer. I'll update the status of The Details once I get more details.
What I can add is that this would be Estes' first project behind the camera since 2004's Mean Creek – an engrossing coming-of-age portrait that saw demonstrated Estes' skill-set in developing great characters from a rather young ensemble cast. Last we heard is that Estes was set to work on The Gifted with Ralph Fiennes – I have no clue what the status is with this biopic.

Just saw on CNN that the funding has fallen through a few days into shooting "The Details," and that the crew left the private home in which they'd been shooting, in a state of destruction, with walls ripped out, floor torn up, homeowner distraught, etc.

Unofficial word is that they have a new backer and pre-preproduction will resume sometime soon.
