Thomas Jane Directs ‘Devil’s Commandos’
Is there any cooler movie geek than Thomas Jane? Ă‚ The guy has the look of a leading man, but he’s got all the sensibilities of Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons. Ă‚ Jane’s latest endeavor, of which he stars and directs, is called ‘The Devil’s Commandos’. Ă‚ Check out the pretty sweet poster, courtesy of Shock Till You Drop, here:
Written by Todd Farmer (‘Jason X’, ‘My Bloody Valentine 3D’), ‘The Devil’s Commandos’ “is about a WWII commando unit sent on a rescue mission. Pretty straight forward. Except for the part where hell opens up and they have to fight Satan’s army.” Ă‚ That synopsis is from Farmer himself.
“‘Devil’s Commandos’ is a Tim Bradstreet (‘The Punisher’) story,” Farmer told Shock Till You Drop.“Turns out, not only can Timmy draw, his noodle churns out some rockin’ ideas. Who knew? But I told him if I wrote the thing he wouldn’t get any credit. He’d end up as a footnote somewhere. So I suggested he write it with me. Tom will star and direct in 3D to follow his ‘Dark Country’Ă‚ debut. Plan is to start after Tom wraps ‘Hung’.”
What do you think? Ă‚ Do you love the artistic choices Thomas Jane is dishing out left and right? Ă‚ Afraid he’s gonna end up on video store shelves quicker than most? Ă‚ Let us know by commenting below!

Thomas Jane is beyond cool and seriously underrated as an actor. Looking forward to seeing his directing talent. I guess he comes by the geekdom naturally being married into the Arquette clan. I have not been disappointed in his choices yet-I’m sure this will please. Just wish he would get some more leading actor action hero type roles. He deserves it.
