Keeping it small and simple, Max Winkler made a notable first feature with his 2010 outing, “Ceremony.” Starring Uma Thurman, Michael Angarano and Lee Pace, that film, a coming-of-age dramedy, displayed some impressively tender moments in his first venture behind the camera, and now a new period project looks to (further) establish Winkler with his own distinct directorial voice.

Winkler is set to team with producer and frequent collaborator Matt Spicer for the 18th-century set comedy, “The Coward,” based on the play from Nick Jones that ran during New York Lincoln Center's 2010-2011 season. Both men will co-write the flick, which follows a sheepish young man forced into a duel who then pays a criminal to stand in his place. As the stand-in wins the first duel, and then proceeds to go on and win others, the real person finds his name suddenly growing into legend, and out of control.
