Peter Weir Adds ‘The Keep’ To His Schedule

TRUMAN SHOW and DEAD POETS SOCIETY director Peter Weir is taking something of a surprising turn with his next film THE KEEP. Based on Jennifer Egan’s novel of the same name the film is the subject of the press release/synopsis below:

Two cousins, irreversibly damaged by a childhood prank, reunite twenty years later to renovate a medieval castle in Eastern Europe. In an environment of extreme paranoia, cut off from the outside world, the men reenact the signal event of their youth, with even more catastrophic results. And as the full horror of their predicament unfolds, a prisoner, in jail for an unnamed crime, recounts an unforgettable story that seamlessly brings the crimes of the past and present into piercing relation.

Sounds like heavy stuff but with Weir in command you can guarantee it will be well worth a look. With shooting beginning next spring it will be a while until we see if THE KEEP is worth keeping.
