J.C. Chandor Knows All Is Lost

How?s this for a success story: after making his feature directorial debut with the low-budget financial crisis drama Margin Call, director J.C. Chandor is set to helm a man vs. nature drama as his follow-up and legendary actor-director Robert Redford is in talks to star. Deadline reports that Chandor will next direct All Is Lost, a drama that mainly focuses on a single character and takes place on the water. The film is described as a ?one man show? in which the lead braves the elements in order to survive. Chandor premiered Margin Call this past January at the Sundance Film Festival, and the writer-director was apparently so taken with the festival?s founder Redford that he wrote All Is Lost just for him.

I?ve yet to see Margin Call but I?m intrigued by this success story. It?ll be interesting to see how Chandor sets the film apart from the similarly plotted Cast Away. They?ve apparently scouted Baja Film Studios in Mexico as a possible filming location. James Cameron and Michael Bay have both previously used the studio for Titanic and Pearl Harbor, respectively, obviously (though one wonders what James Cameron?s Pearl Harbor and Michael Bay?s Titanic would have looked like), and it?s a prime location for extended water shoots. Zachary Quinto?s Before the Door will produce and they hope to start filming by next May.
