David R. Ellis ("The Final Destination") is attached to direct the latter project. The actors and Dash are repped by Fortitude. Bridges ("Mona Lisa Smile") is additionally repped by MJ Management, Kaspar ("Nip/Tuck") by Joanne Horowitz, Sudano ("My Wife and Kids") by Luber Roklin and Linton ("Lions for Lambs") by Untitled.
