Poyart, Riggen Land Directing Gigs

Brazilian director Afonso Poyart has entered talks to direct the supernatural thriller "Solace" says Variety.

The story revolves around a doctor with psychic abilities (Anthony Hopkins) who hunts down a serial killer.

Peter Morgan ("The Queen") performed the latest rewrite of the script.

Meanwhile, Patricia Riggen ("Girl in Progress") is attached to direct the English-language remake of the Spanish-Argentine 2005 film "Elsa & Fred".

The story follows a widower and his vivacious new neighbor who discover that it's never too late to fall in love and realize their dreams.

Production begins in New York and Rome this September.
