When filmmaker James Marsh won Oscar for the documentary MAN ON WIRE, the star of the film Philippe Petit went up on stage and balanced Marsh’s Oscar statuette on his chin. If I were Marsh, I wouldn’t be so amused by that little stunt, Petit could’ve accidentally drop the previous trophy and scarred it for life. Thankfully, for his next project, Marsh won’t have to deal with the crazy performer ever again…
According to Hollywood Reporter, Marsh is going back to the feature world since the 2005 The King starring Gael Garcia Bernal. He is set to direct the supernatural thriller THE VATICAN TAPES for Lionsgate and Lakeshore.
Chris Borrelli wrote the screenplay based on a story by Borrelli and Chris Morgan. It’s about a tape that gets leaked from the Vatican displaying an exorcism that goes wrong and the series of events that unfold.
