Richard Kelly directing Nicolas Cage in bizarre true-tale Amicus

Donnie Darko director – or, as he’ll forever be known to me, the maestro behind Southland Tales – Richard Kelly will work with Nicolas Cage on the crime thriller Amicus.

According to Variety, Kelly will write and direct the true tale, in which Cage plays lawyer Rodney Smolla amidst a bizarre class-action suit.

Smolla defended the publisher of a ‘How To’ hitman book against the families of victims who were murdered by amateur killers that used the self-help guide for assistance.

This. sounds. fascinating.
