Discuss Article
According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC's Joey Tribbiani (aka Matt LeBlanc) has signed a deal with Dream Entertainment to star in a sci-fi/horror thriller entitled "The Watch," which will be directed by the guy who brought you both "Jeepers Creepers" flicks.

"Based on a original screenplay by John Claflin and Daniel Zelman, the World War II-set "Watch" revolves around a team of highly specialized soldiers sent to blow up a Nazi fuel depot, only to discover they are being hunted by an evil spirit unleashed by the Nazi's secret occult experiments."

Victor Salva is directing.

[b]Interesting..[/b]
Not a bad plot, I must say. Yes, and I happen to be a big fan of LeBlanc's humor on Friends.

And as I said, this is rather interesting. I don't reckon he has a bunch of acting genre options other than comedy. But this, I reckon, will be an exception. LeBlanc would play a great soldier, I don't know why, I can just see it happening. Anyway, nice plot, good lead character, I believe, for this sort of film. For the average soldier, at least. He may not be a heroic, adventurous character, but I think he'll play more the average soldier, who has the hero inside him..

Oh, and I admire Salva. The Creepers movies were actually pretty interesting.

"The Watch" is the sequel to the F. Paul Wislon novel, "The Keep," which was made into a film in the 1980's starring Jurgen Prochnow.

Sort of like the guy from Office Space in Band of Brothers.
