Let’s hope that the stars are aligned for Derick Martini’s sophomore feature. Lymelife, Martini’s debut film, a suburban family drama remained a projects in the works for several years before receiving the green light and while it didn’t pull in Adventureland-like numbers, I think it managed to showcase the filmmaker’s aptitudes, which would most certainly come in handy for one more project that uproots the family tree. Variety reports that Paramount Pictures via Ivan Reitman and Tom Pollock’s Montecito Picture Co. have picked up Martini’s original screenplay and have attached him to direct the pic.
I Am My Family’s Secret revolves around two very different brothers who discover their parents have been hiding a life-changing secret for more than two decades. Will Martini look to cast the Culkin brothers once again?
