Sci-Fi Film and Television Developments
The Storyteller
6/25/08 - Anita Briem said she's about to start work on The
Storyteller, a fantasy film in which she'll play opposite Wes
Bentley. "Wes is the writer to my illustrator, and we create children's
books together," Briem said. "My character suffers from an extreme case
of agoraphobia, so the friends and family of Wes Bentley's character
start to believe that I am a figment of his imagination. So, you know,
that is kind of magical in a different way and a different genre
altogether, too."
The Storyteller will also feature American Idol's
Katharine McPhee as Bentley's assistant. Robert A. Masciantonio wrote
and directed the film. Release is expected in March 2009.
