Philip Seymour Hoffman Making Directorial Debut

Philip Seymour Hoffman has decided to direct his first film.   The film will be an adaptation of the off-Broadway play, ‘Jack Goes Boating’, a play in which Hoffman, himself, starred.

The story centers around two stoners, one a limo driver, the other an embalmer’s assistant, who fall in love.

The film will be produced by Big Beach Films, who also produced ‘Little Miss Sunchine’, and Hoffman’s own company, Cooper’s Town Productions.   No start date has been announced.
