Philip Seymour Hoffman has been keeping plenty busy in front of the camera, starring in two movies premiering at Sundance: the John Le Carre thriller
A Most Wanted Man and John Slattery's
God's Pocket. But he's also looking to pick up the pace behind the camera after making his directorial debut in 2010 with
Jack Goes Boating. A
couple of years ago we learned he'd be directing Ezekiel Moss, based on a Black List script by Keith Bunin, and now we know Hoffman's going to have some big stars to work with.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams are set to headline
Ezekiel Moss, a depression-era ghost story about a small town boy who befriends a drifter who may have the ability to speak with the dead. Gyllenhaal, who is set to appear in the creepy thriller
Enemy next week, will play the titular drifter while Adams is the young boy's mother who begins to fall in love with Moss.
No word on when this will begin shooting, but this already looks to be a much bigger deal than Hoffman's last directorial effort.
