‘Avengers’ Director Joss Whedon Launches Next Film Under Bellwether Pictures Banner
By MIKE FLEMING

EXCLUSIVE: After wrapping their first film Much Ado About Nothing, Joss Whedon and Kai Cole’s micro-studio Bellwether Pictures has set a follow-up. It’s the supernatural romance In Your Eyes. Whedon wrote the script and Brin Hill will direct. Cole will produce with Night & Day Pictures’ Michael Roiff. Whedon will be executive producer and David Rothenberg will be co-producer. Whedon, who just wrapped Marvel’s The Avengers, also directed Much Ado About Nothing and shot it in secret before officially launching Bellwether last week.

In Your Eyes is a metaphysical love story about two seemingly polar opposites who are deeply connected in ways neither could have ever imagined. “When I wrote In Your Eyes, I didn’t have the wherewithal (or the moxie) to make it without an established production house,” Whedon wrote in a statement. “I believe, as I did then, that it’s a pretty timeless romance, and now, with the creation of Bellwether Pictures (and Brin Hill’s elegant, passionate take on the piece), I have the opportunity to prove it. (I also have a 37% increase in moxie.) I love this team and I can’t wait to see them bring In Your Eyes to life.”

Roiff produced Hill’s first film, Ball Don’t Lie, as well as the Adrienne Shelly-directed Waitress and just wrapped Save The Date. “Pairing Joss’ fantastic script with Brin’s vision as a filmmaker will make for a truly special film,” Roiff said. Hill also wrote the scripts Learning To Fly for Walden Media and Battle Of The Year for Screen Gems. The film’s fully financed and will shoot in February. Whedon’s repped by CAA, Hill by WME and The Collective.

The film is a described as a metaphysical love story about two seemingly polar opposites who are deeply connected in ways neither could have ever imagined.

Stahl-David stars as Dylan, a boyish-looking man who served time in jail for robbery when he refused to rat on his accomplices. Now, he is living in a trailer in New Mexico. Kazan stars as Rebecca, an attractive but skinny and slightly awkward woman, who is married to an older doctor and living in Connecticut. The two have a powerful connection, and they can hear and see each other, even though they have never met. The film will start production soon in Los Angeles and New Hampshire. Stahl-David made his feature film debut as the lead in JJ Abrams’ Cloverfield for Paramount, and last starred in ABC’s My Generation. He is repped by Management 360 and ICM.

Love seeing Joss get more work out there.

If they don't use that song in the film, I'll be sorely disappointed.

Anything Whedon touches I'll give a fair go, so I'm looking forward to hearing more about this

With somebody holding, I guess, an ipod in a dock over their head.
