Winstone reteams with David Scinto on Directing Debut ‘Night Flower’

Ray Winstone is reteaming with his Sexy Beast and 44 Inch Chest scribe David Scinto for the screenwriter’s directing debut – which is being called not a gangster film, but a “terrifying romantic thriller”. Night Flower would obviously involve a female lead of some sorts and word is that a pair of young, talented Brit actors Ben Whishaw (Bright Star) and Andrew Garfield (Never Let Me Go) are also in talks to join the cast. The pic is expected to go into production in the fall.
