Todd Field Returning With ‘Creed of Violence’; Will Shoot Next Year

18 May 2012 3:54 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

It’s frustrating, being a fan of Todd Field. The man crafted two of America’s finer recent dramas (In the Bedroom and Little Children), took five years between those two, and has been quiet since the latter hit in late 2006. There was some big, thrilling momentum when Cormac McCarthy‘s Blood Meridian started rolling right along… and then that fell right through the cracks. And then, in turn, I was left wanting more.

But the seeds of a new project are finally sprouting. Think back, if you can, to last July, when reports surfaced that he and Leonardo DiCaprio were gravitating toward The Creed of Violence, a (appropriately) violent take on Boston Teran‘s well-regarded western novel. Then, as per usual with Field, we didn’t hear anything else — until now. Variety informs us that Universal and Cross Creek Pictures are taking up distribution and financing duties on Violence, »

Todd Field’s Dry Spell Is Over: ‘The Creed of Violence’ Likely To Shoot In Early 2013

18 May 2012 11:30 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Eight Academy Award nominations after your first two feature films ain’t too shabby. For an encore? Crickets. Last year we asked: where in the world is writer/director Todd Field? The actor turned filmmaker has had several projects gestating for several years, but he hasn't made a feature since 2006’s well-received "Little Children," which added three Oscar nominations to his total.

Good news has arrived. One of these long-in-development projects, "The Creed of Violence," is moving forward. Cross Creek Pictures and producer Michael DeLuca ("The Social Network," "Moneyball") have come on board to produce and finance the drama, an adaptation of Boston Teran's 2009 novel that takes place during the Mexican Revolution in 1910, while focusing on the American intervention in the war. An early 2013 start date is being eyed.

Can you say finally? Last we heard Leonard DiCaprio was said to be circling the project with keen interest, but »

Leo's Plans To Get Behind The Camera

30 January 2012 6:16 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

He's easy on the eyes in front of the camera, but Leonardo Dicaprio has his eye on the director's chair.

DiCaprio, who earned a Golden Globe nod for his role in Clint Eastwood's "J. Edgar," was inspired by Eastwood's directorial style.

"I do [want to direct]. And if I did direct, I would try to have the same no-bullsh*t approach to it as Clint [Eastwood] and his crew have," DiCaprio told GQ Australia. "Seriously, there are no frills on his set. It's a small, tight-knit crew."

While DiCaprio isn't helming a project yet, he has a busy year ahead of him. In addition to playing mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby in Baz Lurhmann's "The Great Gatsby," DiCaprio is starring in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" and is in talks to star in a big-screen adaptation of Boston Teran's novel "The Creed Of Violence."
