@DylanKussman Updates Mission:Blacklist Status *Updated*
Any news is good news in my world, so I guess not only do we find out that status, but we really do get confirmation that Jesper Ganslandt is the new director.
  
For those interested in Ganslandt’s work @TheFilmStage tweeted this:
here’s the YT vid:
And from Deadline:
“The Swedish invasion into Hollywood continues. Jesper Ganslandt has been tapped to direct Robert Pattinson in the psychological thriller Mission: Blacklist, about a brilliant young military interrogator who spearheads the capture of Saddam Hussein. Pic is based on the life of soldier-turned-intelligence agent Eric Maddox, who funneled his experiences into the 2008 nonfic book Mission: Black List #1 – The Inside Story of the Search for Saddam Hussein – As Told by the Soldier Who Masterminded His Capture. The Code Entertainment project was first announced last year in Cannes back when Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire was set to direct. Following Sauvaire’s departure Ganslandt stepped in and will make his English-language debut after directing three features, Blondie, The Ape, and Falkenberg Farewell, in his native Sweden. Filming is scheduled for the fall.
The script is by Band of Brothers scribe Erik Jendressen, Dylan Kussman, and Trace Sheehan. Ross M. Dinerstein of Preferred Content is producing alongside Jendressen and Kevin Waller, with Code Entertainment producing and financing the project. Jesper is repped by Paradigm and Magnolia”
Deadline is reporting shooting in the fall – fingers crossed, although Dylan mentioned no update on start date yet. Will keep you posted.

Well, I’m not sure exactly what I was just watching, but I’ll say this ~ lots of facial close-ups teamed with wet, naked upper torso shots & a stillness about the filming that I really liked, enough to be intrigued about the whole thing …… so I guess that’s a ‘thumbs up’ from me! (I know my reasons are somewhat shallow, but *shrugs shoulders*).
Thanks Maria. I’m so desperate for this movie to happen (with Rob), I’m hoping they’ll get it right, so that Rob can truly shine as Eric.

LOL @Sue I thought at first you were lurking outside someone’s window with binoculars *cough*
Sue
LOL @Maria! Perhaps I should have pressed that delete button after all!

mmmm. This has a sparse documentary style that could well suit the singular vision of Eric Maddox in a war zone environment. I do know if he uses the same techniques, JS will just make my obsession with Rob’s neck moles more dangerous
