Reese Witherspoon, who can be seen this week in the buddy comedy Hot Pursuit, has teamed up with Warner Bros. on Second Life, a psychological thriller based on the book by S.J. Watson. Watson recently saw her novel Before I Go to Sleep adapted with Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth. It's unclear at this point if Witherspoon will also star in the film which centers on a mother who creates an online persona to investigate her sister's violent murder. She puts not only herself but her family at risk when she begins to get lost in all of the lies. This is the latest showing of Witherspoon's production muscle, having recently produced Gone Girl and her Oscar-nominated performance in Wild. [TheTrackingBoard]
CBS Films has acquired the rights to heist thriller, Comancheria, which is set to be headlined by Chris Pine, Jeff Bridges, and Ben Foster. David Mackenzie (Starred Up) will direct based on a Taylor Sheridan (Sicario) screenplay that centers on two brothers (Pine and Foster) on a calculated crime spree that sets them on a collision course with a determined West Texas Ranger (Bridges). Filming begins later this month.
