TAKEN's Pierre Morel Is Now Taken With SIGNALS...
Pierre Morel, director of TAKEN, is revisiting "paranoid thriller" territory with SIGNALS.
contemporary story line is secret but is expected to take on the tone of a 1970s-era paranoid thriller like "Three Days of the Condor."
...says THR HERE .
Taken was Morel's second feature as a director (his first being the Luc Besson produced/co-written BANLIEUE 13 - aka DISTRICT 13 - aka DISTRICT B13. Prior to that, he served as cinematographer on UNLEASHED and THE TRANSPORTER (also Besson written/produced titles) as well as WAR, LOVE AND OTHER DISASTERS, and much more.
Morel is really talented and I'm automatically interested in whatever project he's working on. I'd love to see him do something outside of the crime/thriller genre, but..then again...he does it so damn well...
If you haven't seen BANLIEUE 13 (aka DISTRICT 13 - aka DISTRICT B13), it can be rented via Netflix (discs and/or streaming), or is available on standard DVD/Blu-Ray HERE
