Tonight He Might Come To Artisan
[Thursday, July 18th, 2002]Artisan Pictures has bought the Vincent Ngo spec script "Tonight, He Comes," reports Variety. The movie is to be a drama about a disaffected superhero
"Tonight, He Comes," a dark drama about the relationship between a troubled 12-year-old and a fallen superhero, was Ngo's first. It was promptly picked up by director Tony Scott as a potential directing vehicle. While Ngo went on to write several episodes of the Scott-produced Showtime series "The Hunger," his script languished to the point that some classified it as one of the best unproduced screenplays in town. It resurfaced after Richard Saperstein took the job as president of development and production at Artisan.
"I read it and was astonished no one had made the script," Saperstein said. "It's atmospheric and edgy, and seemed to reflect the next generation of superhero movies."
