When most people think of the career of
David Arquette, they perceive an often borderline Film/TV career to which he brings a certain nerdy handsome awkwardness, most notably in Eight Legged Freaks and Scream. More usually, however, they will associate him with Courteney Cox- to whom he is still married despite separation last year- and a bizarre infrequent stints as a pro wrestler for the WCW, where his ill-judged title reign is often seen as one of the key to that company's demise. What fewer will know is that he has a not inconsiderable series of directorial credits to his name and is now about to film his first ever 3D feature film, titled
Glutton. Arquettes previous directorial credits include several episodes of CSI Miami and Medium, as well as a co-written sole feature film called The Tripper; a slightly trashy horror oddity in which a conservative serial killer hunts down hippies and liberals in a Ronald Reagan mask. This first 3D project, set to be shot from a script by
Kenny Yakkel (Dead Air), is described as a psychological thriller in the vein of Misery". Arquette will take an executive producer credit through his Coquette Productions banner and will work alongside a multitude of producers- as is the current fashion- including Stan Spry, Cameron Larson, R. Scott Reid, Steve Ecclesine and Norween Yakkel. According to Spry:
"David is the perfect person to direct 'Glutton.' He brings invaluable assets to the project, including his visual style, creative flair and ability to relate to the cast.
Film production is set to begin in Canada in July, while Arquette will be back in front of the camera returning as Dewey Riley in Scream 4 in two weeks time.
