David Cronenberg, known for his dark and edgy sensibility, has signed to direct A History of Violence for New Line Cinema. JC Spink and Chris Bender are producing through their Benderspink shingle, while Roger Kass and Josh Braun are executive producing. Adapted by Josh Olson from John Wagner and Vince Locke's graphic novel of the same name, Violence tells the story of an ordinary family's life after the father receives unwanted national attention for a seemingly vigilante-style self-defense killing at his diner. New Line execs Kent Alterman and Cale Boyter are overseeing for the studio. Cronenberg made a name for himself writing and directing such horror films as Scanners and Videodrome as well as the 1986 remake of The Fly. The Canadian director then transitioned to such provocative fare as Naked Lunch, Crash and eXistenZ. He is repped by ICM and Joel Behr. »
