www.chud.com/index.php?type=news&id=9825JOEL SCHUMACHER THINKS HE'S A SAINT 04.18.07 By Russ Fischer Contributing sources: Variety I have to admire Joel Schumacher. I don't see how anyone could look at the finished cuts of The Number 23, Batman and Robin or 8MM and think, 'Yeah, that's the movie I wanted to make.' And yet he gets right back on the horse every time. One of his next steeds is a young grey mare called Inland Saints, for which Paramount will provide the stable, and we'll probably turn into glue. (Ok, I'm done with that metaphor now.) The script, pitched by Kurt Sutter, is about one of Schumacher's favorite things: teenagers in love. (The others being nipples and midnight mimosas in Turks & Caicos.) I have to just quote Variety on the plot, because for once they've said it better than anyone else can: He's the leader of a dangerous street gang; she's the daughter of the detective hired to bring down the gang. OMG! How could Joel not make this movie?

www.variety.com/article/VR1117963295.html?categoryid=13&cs=1'Saints' marching at Paramount Schumacher set to direct urban drama By PAMELA MCCLINTOCK Paramount Pictures has snapped up scribe Kurt Sutter's pitch "Inland Saints" for Joel Schumacher to direct and Lorenzo di Bonaventura to produce. Eli Holzman is producing with di Bonaventura's Par-based banner, di Bonaventura Pictures. Project reunites Schumacher and di Bonaventura, who have worked together on pics including two "Batman" films, "The Client" and "Falling Down." "Inland Saints," described as a supernatural urban drama about love, betrayal and need, is about teens who fall in love. He's the leader of a dangerous street gang; she's the daughter of the detective hired to bring down the gang. Schumacher ("The Phantom of the Opera," "Veronica Guerin") was recently in theaters with Jim Carrey starrer "Number 23." Sutter, an exec producer on FX cop drama "The Shield," is teaming with Art and John Linson on another FX series tentatively titled "Charming, CA," about outlaw motorcycle clubs. He's also set up several scripts, including "The Unforgettable" and "In Crime." Upcoming films at di Bonaventura Pictures ("Shooter") include "Stardust" and "Transformers."
