David Cronenberg directing As She Climbed Across the Table?
The story centers around a man named Philip, who is in love with Alice. We open with Philip about "to lose Alice, not to another man, but to literally nothing. Alice - a physicist - has created a hole, a doorway to nothingness, a vacuum, inside the laboratory where she and Philip work." Alice can think of nothing else but this place called "The Lack" and Philip can think of nothing else but Alice.
Steven Zaillian (screenwriter of American Gangster) is producing.

I met David Cronenberg at the rz Denver Film Festival when he was promoting "Spider" (2002)... He is a very talented filmmaker ... but very ...very rude in person...

I will never like Cronenberg, he's a horrible director and he's smug. I'm not a Uwe Boll fan, both of them are jerks like M Bay who is also smug and looks down his nose.

Err
i don't know, i'm willing to let it go.
getting mad at someone for saying uwe boll is better than cronenberg is like
getting mad at someone for saying "pizza tastes terrible, i prefer liver and onions with a big side of lima beans".
i can't get mad about that, clearly we just have very different tastes and opinions.

If anything, the guy who likes ANY Uwe Boll film shouldn't be passing judgement on Cronenberg or his films.

I've tried to watch some of Uwe Bolls films, two I liked the rest of them are garbage. For the Name of the King, I enjoyed to a point since Jason Straitern is in it.
I also enjoyed Alone in the Dark

Wow, if you would have said maybe Rabid or the Brood, I might agree, but more so in that they have some campy elements. But to compare that list to "...twice as bad as Uwe Boll's films" makes me wonder if your either retarded or have never seen a Uwe Boll film. I may not have always agreed with some of Cronenberg's decisions, but I can with out a doubt say he has a unique absurdest vision. No one else does what he does because they are either, too scared to push in to that spectrum, fearing that it will come off cheesy, or they just don't have the eye for it. In the face of that he is able to bring some brilliant scenes and odd stories to the screen. Sucks for you that you can't appreciate what he does.

Err
anyway, all arguments aside i would like to add that the synopsis sounds right up cronenberg's alley, and i'm glad he is getting back to his roots as a master storyteller of mind-boggling madness.
eastern promises and history of violence (to a lesser extent) were okay, but i fell in love with this guy because of movies like the brood, videodrome and even spider.

Err
gonna have to agree to disagree.
for the record though a hack is someone who impersonates someone else (or, in this case, a director who rips off other directors), not simply a word you throw around to sound like you know how to be insulting.

@zender Name a bad film Cronenberg has made. You keep insisting that the man is a hack without giving examples.
3 years agoby @soylentgreen2Flag
Mutant
he's the hack since he can't direct, I've seen some of his films which are twice as bad as Uwe Boll's films and as an actor he needs lessons.
3 years agoby @zenderFlag
Err
cronenberg is the greatest.
justify calling him a hack by naming a movie of his that is a rip-off of another movie.

Cronenberg is the biggest hack there ever was, most of his projects suck.

I don't understand the synopsis of what I just read, but I like it. Cronenberg could do excellent with this.
