ROTTEN TOMATOES: Thomas Jane to Enter The Dark Country

Thomas Jane to Enter The Dark Country

"Noir thriller" shooting in 3-D hi-def.

by Jeff Giles | November 14, 2007

He still isn't starring in that Punisher sequel, but Thomas Jane isn't looking for things to do -- in fact, after he finishes slugging it out with fog-dwelling creepie crawlies in The Mist, he'll be stepping behind the camera.

Variety reports that Jane is set to make his feature directing debut with The Dark Country, described as "a noir thriller" -- and he'll be shooting it in 3-D high definition.

The Dark Country, written by Tab Murphy, "concerns a couple who find their honeymoon to be a hellish adventure," and will star Ron Perlman, Lauren German, and (surprise!) Thomas Jane. From the article:

"The Dark Country" will be released by one of Sony's theatrical labels, and it is one of the first films being shot simultaneously in 3-D to take advantage of the slowly swelling ranks of theaters that are being retrofitted for 3-D to accommodate films like the James Cameron-directed "Avatar," but can play in 2-D theaters as well.

The Mist opens November 21.

Don't be moronic. Thomas Jane has done more than enough to earn a shot at directing a film. He's put in his time. It's not like he is some punk kid coming out of film school, he is established. "Is it really that easy?" Oh, yea, easy is 16 years in the entertainment industry. Johnny Stone = idiot.

And I seriously do not understand how people say he was bad in The Punisher. He was the only thing that remotely saved that film. And if that isn't true, then why are all the fanboys so upset that he won't be doing the sequel?

Good luck to Thomas Jane, the guy is insanely underrated.

Peace. Love. Empathy.
