Minghella Grows Some "Horns"

Max Minghella (The Ides of March, The Social Network) is in talks to join the big screen version of Joe Hill's 2010 novel Horns says Variety.



Daniel Radcliffe will play Ig Perrish, the lead suspect in the violent rape and killing of his girlfriend. Hung over from a night of hard drinking, Ig awakens one morning to find horns starting to grow from his head. Their power drives people to confess sins and give in to selfish impulses - becoming an effective tool in his quest to discover the circumstances of his girlfriend's death.

Minghella will play Lee Tourneau, a supposedly “compassionate public defender” who has a “hidden dark side”.

Alexandre Aja will direct from an adapted script by Keith Bunin.

Shia Labeouf signed on to lead the film at one time.

Hill, son of Stephen King will serve as executive producer on the pic.

Peter Guber and Cathy Schulman will produce.

Production kicks off this Fall.
