Deadline are reporting that ROBOCOP, SHOWGIRLS and TOTAL RECALL helmer Paul Verhoeven is to next direct ETERNAL, a film that has quite an intriguing little story to it, and although it has echoes of the Dutch diretor’s previous work, it could be a bit of a departure for him too, as it has a supernatural twist…
In Eternal, a married recovering alcoholic helps a woman threatening to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge. They end up in bed, and in a torrid sexual affair. When he gets home, he’s confronted by his wife and a private investigator, with photos spread across a table. He thinks he’s busted, but the photos that should have shown him in the clinches with his mistress instead show him alone, drinking alcohol. He initially questions his own sanity, but progressively figures out that this temptress is a ghost who is after his soul.
