Safady Entertainment (Machine Gun Preacher) is launching development of supernatural thriller Dreamt with Martin Weisz attached to direct, says Variety. Weisz is the German director behind the underrated Grimm and The Hills Have Eyes II, which he allegedly made a complete mess of (there were rumors of a second unit shooting simultaneously to fix his mistakes). With a script by Andrew Alexander, " 'Dreamt' i set in modern day and centers on two people dreaming in each other's lives. Conflict ensues after the men discover each other's existence, leading one man to try to take over the other's life and stopping at nothing to get it." Partners Gary Safady and Craig Chapmans are producing along with Todd Moyer of the Flagship Management Group, who is currently producing the Brendan Fraser film "William Tell 3D." Shooting is set to begin in April.

Director Martin Weisz has predominately stuck to music videos, but has branched out into a couple of feature films, his most notable being 'The Hills Have Eyes II.' It is not a well-liked or well-reviewed film, but it's been a few years, perhaps time for his redemption. Coming Soon reports that the production company who had a hand in 'Machine Gun Preacher,' Safady Entertainment is lining him up to direct a supernatural film entitled 'Dreamt.' Here's the odd synopsis: "Set in modern day, Dreamt tells the tale of two people who have a supernatural connection and therefore are actually dreaming in each other's lives. Conflict ensues after the men discover each other's existence, leading one man to try to take over the other's life and stopping at nothing to get it." That's a new one: dream wars.
