Controversial
filmmaker Tony Kaye has apparently left the movie REAPER, which he was attached
to helm for Media 8. The Horror Channel's
Dread Central report that Media 8 first attached Kaye to the project over
the summer. As recent as the American Film Market earlier this month Kaye was
quoted as saying that his intention, with Reaper, was to "redefine the genre."
Commercial
and TV ad helmer Kaye is best known for his 1998 movie AMERICAN HISTORY X, where
he allegedly asked for the studio to remove his name from the credits and replace
it with Humpty Dumpty, after falling out with them over his final cut.
Media
8 have not stated why Kaye has left REAPER, but they are currently looking for
a new talent to attach to the project.
Here's
how the film is described (now sans Kaye's name) on the Media
8 official site.
A stylish supernatural thriller/ neo-noir, REAPER tells
the story of Virgil, a private investigator who finds himself recruited by the
darkly beautiful and mysterious Delia. As he begins to work for Delia, Virgil
finds himself suddenly immersed in a surreal underworld, one where the boundaries
of life and death – as well as right and wrong –are completely blurred.
This unlikely journey also reveals the harrowing answers to the fate of Virgil’s
own daughter.
