Chris Weitz to draft Subtle Knife (see update)
Posted on by

An article at the Iranian website Payvand says that the Iranian-born screenwriter, Hossein Amini, will no longer be penning the script for the adaptation of The Subtle Knife. Amini was commissioned to write a draft script back in January, but Payvand reports that “apparently Amini set off working on another movie, Killshot, produced by Quentine Tarantino and the task was given to another talented screenwriter: Chris Weitz.” We’ll see if we can confirm this.

Update: According to New Line’s production executive, Hossein Amini is still the only writer for The Subtle Knife after all.

    Hey conor we are all doing a little bit to help so i think we should all do something so we get more infomation and do a better job. What website are you on to get the info. .I am keeping a eye on news round and my friend William. Jake is going on the cast makers website. We all need to to something to help. I also got another friend called adrian who is me and williams best friend. his mum is in dance shows and that so she is helping us by getting audition slips. she tells me to go in WHSmith in the acting news papers. So we all keep on researching. Soon all this hard work will pay off.

  2. charlie says:

    its all right everyone do there own research and we will get more info. I got a friend whos mum is kind if famous so she does dancing shows. She can give em all the info cause she goes to an acting studio.

    misses girl up thr hu sed summit bout the fingers. (no offence) NOBODY CARES! they can probably do summit to show the loss of a couple of fingers with blue/green screen things n dyu think half the ppl tryin to audition have brains. as long as they get to play will hu cres how many fingers they lose:P wierdos (btw i wouldnt mind bein will my self but i hav a realistic view of my ability to act)

    all guy wantin to no bout will auditions; i dnt cre hu will is aslong as he aint sum weedy midgit hu jst happens to b gd at actin

    real dude; you havnt got half the subtleness will has if u go onto a popular website n give out ur email thingy. (no offence) ur a gump.

    lil kid up thr; i wudnt worry bout ur braces m8 they can do loadsa kl stuff wid modern movies

    i agree; the webmaster has decided its a nice time to die

    guy offering brace nd foreign advice; like the foreign idea thing even tho i dnt no wot it meens. however the brace kids might hacve the 1s tht u cnt jst take off. (my m8s got thm n i nearly knocked his teeth out whn he woz muckin around in a game of take down bull dog:P)

    conor; (no offence) no-one cares

    lil girl further up; ur spelling is rele quite bad (sorry if ur a boy)

    ethan; ur too short to play will. no idea how tall u r but its too short

    n kid jst up thr; wills taller thn lyra u plank. hes ment to be tall n shes short

    sorry if i hav upset ne1 but i honestly dnt cre
