HARRY BROWN director Daniel Barber in talks to direct SUBSTITUTION for Alcon

 

Daniel Barber (Harry Brown) is in talks to direct Substitution for Alcon Entertainment. THR reports that the thriller will be in the same vein "as Strangers on a Train but in a high school setting." The script was penned by Ian Shorr and tells the story of a "asubstitute teacher who coerces a high school student in a murders-swapping plot." The proejct is being produced by Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove for Alcon, along with Kevin McCormick of Langley Park Productions and Steve Crystal.

Harry Brown was a really tense thriller, which starred Michael Caine. Based on Barber's work on that film I amm pretty sure he will be able to handle Substitution. What are your thoughts on this news?
