Prop Obsessed Movie Gets Greenlighted

[Wednesday, June 5th, 2002]
Madstone Films has greenlit and begun filming the live-action/animated "Rhinoceros Eyes," in Toronto, reports Variety

The movie is penned and being helmed by tyro director Aaron Woodley and will star Michael Pitt ("Murder by Numbers"), Paige Turco ("The Agency") and Gale Harold ("Queer as Folk").

"Rhinoceros Eyes" centers on a reclusive young man working in an ancient, fantastical prop house. The young man grows infatuated with a movie set designer, so much so that he willingly prowls the streets at night searching for real-life substitutions -- such as rhino eyes -- for the props she needs. This obsession gets both into more than a bit of trouble.

"We are proud to be bringing such a wonderful and unique tale to the screen," said Gruenberg. "The Madstone directors program is an oasis for emerging filmmakers and it's fitting that our first production is such a marvelously collaborative and groundbreaking endeavor like 'Rhinoceros Eyes.'"
