Narc director
Joe Carnahan is in final talks to direct the thriller
Bunny Lake is Missing, a remake of a 1965 British movie starring
Lawrence Olivier and
Carol Lynley. This year's Oscar winning actress
Reese Witherspoon has long been attached to the flick as a possible starring vehicle. The film follows the story of a mother who reports that her daughter Bunny Lake has gone missing but when the police find no evidence she ever existed, they begin to suspect the women has gone mad. Basically it's the premise of
Flightplan, just not on an aeroplane. Nothing we haven't seen before in countless other movies then but hey, I'm liking this guy's work so far. His movies never look boring. Caranhan's next flick is the ultra stylish looking
Smokin' Aces which comes out next month (
