More folks ‘Come Closer’ to Carter Smith’s next project

Published on November 15, 2007

THR reports that Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind/Thumbsucker and upcoming Synecdoche, New York producer Anthony Bregman (see pic above on the right) has come on board to produce Miramax Films' Come Closer. In addition, the screenplay will get a clean up by Brian Nelson (left) – the scribe who worked with David Slade on Hard Candy & 30 Days of Night.

Carter Smith (who I have been screaming at the top of my lungs as the must watch director for 08' – his Sundance short BugCrush is a must see pic) is directing the project – based on the Sara Gran novel adapted by Tristine Skyler and then by Brian Nelson, this is the surreal tale that will take viewers into the mind of a young woman architect experiencing bizarre situations that might not be happening and violent impulses that might be all too real.
