Aja’s Next to be a Drama

Alexandre Aja, who, despite the less-than-stellar ‘Mirrors’, is quickly becoming one of the modern masters of horror, will next turn his sights on a different genre altogether, the drama. Â  The French-born director is set to direct the drama ‘The Contractor’.

The story is set in a world where the U.S. government can no longer afford to fight wars and authorizes private contractors to send a band of elite soldiers on missions around the world. Â  Ian Jeffers, who recently wrote ‘The Grey’, rewrote ‘Castlevania’, and directed ‘Sylvain White’, is currently rewriting the script.

Aja will being production on ‘The Contractor’ as soon as he finishes his 3D remake of ‘Piranha’. Â  Here’s hoping this venture into drama-land is brief and he gets back to making quality horror films quickly.
