Director Brad Furman has found himself a follow-up gig as the independent film Intricate.
Scott Franklin is set to produce the project. Previous reports on the Internet have mistakenly stated that Darren Aronofsky and his Protozoa Pictures will be involved with the project. Aronofsky denied that he would be producing Intricate.
The film will have the 1990s New York City setting when there was a violent drug trade economy and strong connections to the rap industry and is inspired by a true story about a highly touted college basketball recruit who ended up in the drug underworld after his basketball career did not go as planned.
The movie is about where this man begins and where he ends, with New York City as an important character,”
said Furman to the Los Angeles Times' 24 Frames.
Brad Furman is a director, writer and producer best known for his gritty, provocative, delicate style. Furman's current directorial feature, The Lincoln Lawyer, is based on Michael Connelly's best-selling novel; the film stars Matthew McConaughey. Furman's first feature film (2008), The Take, starred John Leguizamo, and had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and was touted as one of the festival's “must see films.”
Scot Franklin is an actor (The Wrestler) and producer of several features that includes Hounddog (2007), The Wrestler (2008), Black Swan (2010), W.E.(2011), 2 Days in New York (2011) (post-production), The Wolverine (2012) (pre-production), Machine Man (2012) (announced). Not bad at all, must admit.
It's still not known when production will be scheduled for Intricate. But don't forget The Lincoln Lawyer will hit theaters on 18th of March. So, check the Furman's second cinematic venture, presumably better than his debut. [Source: Indiewire]
