Christopher Walken is in talks to star in Stratus Films' drama
Around the Bend, to be directed and written by Jordan Roberts, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
'Bend' is described as having elements of 'In the Bedroom' and 'Road to Perdition', the latter of which Roberts did some uncredited work on. The film is about four generations of men, all of whom have had their offspring at a young age: a great-grandfather, a grandfather (Walken), a father in his twenties and a son who is about 7 years old. When the oldest member passes away, the trio heads out on the road together in the Southwest to search out an old family secret that connects to their past.
The project aims to go into production in the fall, after Walken wraps shooting Paramount Pictures'
The Stepford Wives.
