It’s taken Alan Ball nine years after his Oscar win for “American Beauty” to make his way back to the big-screen. Hopefully, it’ll be a much shorter trip the third time around, the “Towelhead”director laughed.

“I have two scripts that I wrote years ago, both of which I still believe in. I’m actually thinking of trying to produce one and not direct and there’s another one that I’d like to direct,” he revealed to MTV News.

Although he insists that for the immediate future he’s focusing on writing the second season of “True Blood,” his vampire series which premiered recently on HBO, Ball thinks it’s possible one or both could become big movies in the not so distant future. So what the heck are they about?

“The one I want to direct is a screwball comedy. It takes place in the 30s. It’s kind of a romantic farce about two very bullheaded people negotiating their sexual relationship within standards of that time, with that language, and with all the trappings of 1936,” he said. “They’re both incredibly wealthy at a time when the rest of the world is going hungry, which I find incredibly timely.

“The other one is harder to pitch in a high concept way – it’s a dark, dark comedy about a woman who just gets fed up with being a doormat,” he continued, letting slip details on the otherwise secretive project. “And it’s got a body count!”

아메리칸뷰티, 식스핏언더, 트루블러드의 앨런볼님이 두 편의 영화를 준비중이시라는(!!)
HBO에서 첫시즌이 방영중인 트루 블러드는 반응이 좋아서 2시즌까지 오더를 받은 상태인데.. 그래서 2시즌 각본을 쓰면서 영화준비도 하실거라고 야심차게 말씀하심..ㅋㅋ
첫 번째 영화는 1930년대 배경으로, 뻑적지근하게 부자인 두 사람이 자신들의 sexual relationship에 관해 티격태격 하는 광대극같은 코미디, 그리고 두 번째 영화는 사람들에게 무시당하고 조용히 살아온 한 여자가 급반전으로 변하는 어두운 코미디라고..
난 당연히 두 번째 작품이 기대되는중. 앨런볼은 어두움 우울함의 아이콘이니까 ☎_☎
