CAPTAIN MARVEL Writers and Directors Developing a New Film FREAKY TALES
Captain Marvel writers and directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are set to write, direct and produce a new film project titled Freaky Tales for eOne and Macro.
The film is said to be composed of four interconnected stories set in 1987 Oakland, CA. The movie is “a love letter to the music, movies, sports, politics, people, places and memories — some true, some invented — that Fleck grew up with in the ’80s. On the surface, each story appears to exist in a world familiar to our own, but the Oakland of Freaky Tales hovers just beyond our knowable universe. Sure you can reach out and touch it, but it’s going to be very sticky.”
That certainly sounds like it could be a fun and interesting flick! I really like this concept and I’m curious to see what exactly it becomes. There’s a lot of potential here.
It’s also revealed that the script is “built around his music, which was a big part of Oakland in the ’80s and that it was important to have him involved in the project in some way.”
The movie is being produced by Oakland hip-hop legend Todd Shaw aka Too $hort and his manager David Weintraub. The movie will also be produced by Jelani eOne, Johnson and Poppy Hanks.
