Currently to be seen kicking alien asses in Battle: Los Angeles, Michelle Rodriguez' next film looks set to be supernatural rather than intergalactic: she's revealed that she's almost certainly signing on for **The Home.
Written by Eric Vespe (known to some as AICN writer Quint), the screenplay attracted some heavyweight attention earlier this year, with Peter Jackson taking it under his wing and the Weinsteins' Dimension picking it up for distribution.
The film involves scary goings-on at a haunted nursing home, with the originally-released synopsis describing the main character as a firefighter sent there to recuperate when "he" is involved in a rescue gone wrong. There's no mention yet of Rodriguez' role, but given her Vasquez-channelling as-tough-as-the-guys screen persona, we wonder if "he" has now become "she"...
Early reports also had Brian Cox, Louis Gosset Jr, Ed Asner, Cloris Leachman and Fionnula Flanagan attached, as well as Louise Fletcher. Is Nurse Ratched returning to the institution?
Pre-production on The Home is underway, and shooting starts in the summer.
