I really miss Verhoeven. Black Book was amazing, but it came out so long ago. And it's telling how long he's been out of the limelight...I'm working for the International Film Festival in Chicago and I'm one of the oldest volunteers working there (unemployment, while it sucks, has afforded me some amazing opportunities) and I'd have to say 90% of the rest of the volunteers are college kids. While discussing movies with some of them I would mention Verhoeven's name on more than one occasion and all I would get from them is blank stares.
Dude needs to come back and come back big so that he's not so easily forgotten.

Can't wait. And the plot description sounds like a perfect match for Verhoeven.

I think the smaller budget will work in the films favor, letting Verhoeven bring ideas to the forefront instead of effects, which I thought was a problem in HOLLOW MAN.

hmmm, weird. Yesterday Verhoeven told dutch reporters that his next flick would be a film noir set in Juarez, about the mexican drug war. and that after that, he'd be doing an adaptation of a classic dutch novel "The Silent Force" (original title "De Stille Kracht" by Louis Couperus. http://www.cinema.nl/artikelen/67810...-met-film-noir (dutch language link, can't find the story in english)

Wasn't he also doing something set in the middle east in the victorian era with magic or something? Or is that the novel?

Anyway, any of those projects sounds awesome. Maybe he's lining up a bunch to do in quick succession.

That's indeed the novel. It's set in a former Dutch colony in Indonesia.

I'm stoked for anything Verhoeven throws at us next. Someone should subtitle & stream the epic (3 hour) interview he did lately on Dutch television. One of the most entertaining and erudite speakers I've heard in the business.

Dre- thank you for writing more for CHUD, and peppering your soup with a healthy dose of Prince references.

Hooray! Can't say that synopsis would normally do much to excite me, but in Verhoeven's hands I'm sure it will be weird as heck and fascinating. He's one of my favorite film makers working (or, well, not working, as the case may be more often than not these days) and news of a new project from him is enormously exciting
