Singh Keeps One Eye In The Sky

Immortals director Tarsem Singh is up to calling action on an ensemble thriller called "Eye in the Sky" says The Playlist.



The script from Guy Hibbert revolves around a military drone attack in East Africa and its impact on those affected by it - the drone controllers in bases in Nevada, those ordering the attack, politicians at war in Europe, and the people on the ground.

The project is said to be akin to Steven Soderbergh's Traffic, Contagion, and Syriana in tone with many speaking parts - approximately sixty-two by Singh's account.

Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall) was previously set to direct as of last fall and Tarsem hopes to know within the next week whether he will replace Hirshbiegel.

Whatever happens, production is some time off as  his next project, "A Killing on Carnival Row", will likely shoot this Summer.
