D.J. Caruso will direct the ghostly tale
In case you were wondering, The Disappointments Room is not the storage locker where Kate Beckinsale keeps the various drafts of the Whiteout screenplay. No, it’s actually a new supernatural thriller script she’s been offered and that I Am Number Four’s D.J. Caruso is down to direct.
The Disappointments Room would see Beckinsale as a mother who moves her family to a storied mansion in the country. While it has plenty of land and a nice historical design, she discovers it also comes with a gruesome history and starts to slowly go insane with visions of a dead girl. We always hate it when the real estate agents leave that off the listing.
Wentworth Miller, who has already proved his scripting chops with Stoker, wrote this one and the project is now set to be touted at the American Film Market. Beckinsale isn’t firmly aboard yet, but the producers will be hoping she hops aboard so they have another name to dangle in front of prospective investors and distributors.
Beckinsale, last seen in Total Recall, has worked on The Trials Of Cate McCall and Eliza Graves and is shooting Michael Winterbottom’s latest, The Face Of An Angel alongside Daniel Bruhl.
