Larry Charles will write and may direct a reimagined version of the cult Australian hit The Man Who Sued God for New Films International (Nfi).
Nfi founder and president Nesim Hason and Mace Neufeld will produce with Sixth Sense Productions principals Richard Harding and Sam Feuer.
Charles’ take on The Man Who Sued God is expected to veer from the original premise, which involves a former lawyer who sues an insurance company pretending to be the Almighty.
The Man Who Sued God is the second project to come through Nfi’s multi-title development deal with Neufeld after WWII action thriller The Pursuit.

If you’re not familiar with these two guys, then we have nothing to talk about. Robert Englund (aka legendary Freddy Krueger) and Dylan Walsh (that plastic surgeon Dr. McNamara from Nip/Tuck) are both set to star in the upcoming horror movie titled Air Disturbance, which comes from director Joe Dante.
At this moment we know that Freerunner scribe Jeremy Sklar is responsible for Air Disturbance script as well, and that the story is set on a transcontinental flight on which supernatural phenomena take place.
Walsh is on board to play a widowed father who protects his children and psychic girlfriend from some of the other passengers, while Englund will play one of the passengers described as a fanatical minister. You’ll admit that this looks like a perfect role for Englund!
Anyway, let us also mention that Nesim Hason from New Films and Tom Malloy are producing the whole thing,...

"The Lightkeepers" is a dark horse candidate for awards season attention, offering up Richard Dreyfuss in his showiest lead performance since 1995's "Mr. Holland's Opus" and an offbeat marketing plan by a well-financed foreign sales company intent on making a splash in the U.S. marketplace.
Opening on Friday in Los Angeles for an Oscar-qualifying run, the performance-driven period drama written and directed by Daniel Adams also features strong performances by Blythe Danner, Tom Wisdom and Mamie Gummer (Meryl Streep's daughter) in an old-fashioned love story set on Cape Cod in 1912.
"Lightkeeprs" is the third platform release this year by New Films International, a Sherman Oaks-based foreign sales company founded by Nesim Hason that has output deals in Latin America, Japan, Eastern Europe and elsewhere. The move into domestic distribution comes at a time it has gotten much harder to make presales without a U.S. release in place.
