F. Gary Gray Attached To Mystery Thriller 'Hair Of The Dog'

Director F. Gary Gray ("The Italian Job," "Law Abiding Citizen") is evidently attached to a new project, according to Variety called, "Hair of The Dog."

A mystery thriller, it apparently centers on "a successful executive who becomes the victim of a vicious blackmail scheme that threatens to destroy his family. But he discovers he is just a pawn in the midst of a much darker agenda."

More interesting to us is that Variety runs down all of Gray's other projects, but fails to mention "Kane & Lynch" with Bruce Willis and Jamie Foxx that he was scheduled to direct this late summer. Why? Probably because as we reported late last month during Comic-Con, Gray is off the project.

Last we heard Patrick Alessandrin ("District 13: Ultimatum") was now being sought for the gig and Kyle Ward's ("Hitman 2") script was being given a re-write by Skip Woods ("The A-Team," "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"). Because of the delay, production is apparently now scheduled to begin in September.
