Please just tell me this is not the scary duck babysitting movie Sydney Lumet is talking about.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Nah, I think it's the one where Vin has the scary OMGWTF hair.
I was thinking the same thing because then that is not cock-sucking that is full-on salad-tossing.

No, it's some forthcoming courtroom drama that Lumet is making right now. They showed snippets of it during the Oscars.
IMDb says it's in post, and called Find Me Guilty.
Anyone who saw Boiler Room, one of the Greatest Movies Of Our Time, would not be surprised that Vin is not just muscle.
Seeing Iron Giant should help too.
Apprently Diesel is directing himself in a costume epic drama, Hannibal. I know he's made short films before, but for a debut director on feature-film, this strikes me as somewhat over-ambitious.
But then, we had Costner and the Wolves movie and Mel Gibson with Braveheart, so he's following an actor-turned-director trend, I guess. Oy.
He's having a fun time of it (from IMDB):
Action man Vin Diesel has been forced to scale down his epic labor of love, Hannibal The Conqueror, after learning his ideas would cost a studio more than $210 million. The XXX star has been working on the film, about heroic Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca, for years, and admits he's now struggling to rework the project to make it an affordable option for a leading Hollywood studio. He tells movie website Moviehole.Net, "I got a budget back from a studio that said it would cost $217 million. So I said, 'I know I'm not the smartest guy in the world but $217 million, doesn't that mean that this film will never get made?' There's no way in the world that this film will be made at $217 million, and I am already committed to this character, channeling this guy. So I'll go into soft pre-production, and think about sequences, and think about ways to shoot sequences that would have the same story about it but cost a lot less." Diesel insists his latest draft of the film will cost just $50 million. He adds, "If you are thoughtful and creative, you can cut down a scene, and have the same story, the same emotional and action impact, and not spend so much money."

They really need to be more careful about spelling that right.
