Q & A: How Willimon Runs Fincher's 'House ...Taylor Kitsch Returns to Canada with 'Grand Seduction' After 'John Carter,' 'Battleship' & 'Savages' Misfires
The story "centers on the small harbour of Tickle Cove which is in need of a doctor so the town can land a contract to secure a factory that will save the town from financial ruin. Village resident Murray French (Gleeson) searches to find a doctor, and when he finds Dr. Paul Lewis (Kitsch) he employs – along with the whole town – tactics to seduce the doctor to stay permanently."
The original (which played Cannes 2003) was scripted by Ken Scott, who adapted it into English with "Goon" director Michael Dowse.
Check out the trailer for the original below. This looks like the antithesis to Kitsch's latest efforts; not a bad thing given he's yet to break his rotten luck on the Tomatometer. Kitsch tells THR that "Savages" director, Oliver Stone, told him (following "Battleship"'s sinking): "With any job there is always going to be self-doubt that creeps in, but know that you are going to have a long career." Also in the works for Kitsch is Peter Berg's Navy SEAL drama "Lone Survivor" with Mark Wahlberg, Emile Hirsch and Ben Foster.
