UPDATE: Original source was reporter, Sharon Waxman, from The Wrap (via) who is in Cannes. Hopefully more unfolds soon. Soon as in now. :)
Excerpt from Yahoo, reporting on the Cannes Film Festival events and Lawless premiere:
[Michael] Benaroya, who co-produced “Margin Call” last year, is fully financing “Kill Your Darlings,” a $4 million thriller with Daniel Radcliffe and Michael C. Hall about young beat poets Allen Ginsburg and Jack Kerouac and a murder.The always reliable (that was sarcastic) IMDb says the film is slated to film this Spring (isn't Spring over in a month) and the summary is:
And he's also financing the $11 million “Hate Mail,” with Scarlett Johansson, Robert Pattinson and Philip SeymourHallHoffman. And he executive produced “The Paperboy,” also screening in competition in Cannes.
That's a lot of money to be throwing down. Benaroya, apart from noting that he's only lost money on one movie he's made thus far, said he likes to gamble.
“I'm a serious poker player," he said. "People like to underestimate me: ‘You look 25. You look like a nice guy. I'm gonna take you for everything you've got.' They're often surprised when they don't.”
A Manhattan-set story centered around people who receive hate mail and the subsequent effects on their relationships.Benaroya is a producer for Lawless which had its premiere at Cannes today (yesterday on French time). I don't know anything else.....it drives me crazy! This is very fresh...don't go getting tattoos to support the project just yet.
