Possible New Movie - Talking to Dog with John Cusack

Moviehole.net is reporting that John Cusack and Hilary Duff will team for Writer/director Mark Roper’s new film, "Talking to Dog".

According to Moviehole the movie is "a cross between "Mad Max" and "Blue Velvet", the film is set in a post apocalyptic future where man has suffered the wrath of global warning, and woman have suffered the inability to have children. Time has stood still for two, small communities. The consequences of Global warming, the lack of fuel, power and communication, have left them in isolation. Dying has become an industry, a woman able to give birth, now only a dream. Into this environment, a young man arrives. He is able to communicate with the dead, able to learn secrets of the past. Because of his presence, the two communities learn that love, in a dying world, is still alive and that there is always hope, even over greed."

The plot definitely sounds - interesting. The problem is that this news is very hard for me to believe. Hilary Duff and John Cusack just finished filming Brand Hauser together. It seems strange to me that they would make another movie together in such a short time. Also the plot of "Talking to Dog" sounds kind of similar to the recent critically acclaimed film "Children of Men."

I am definitely putting this news in the "rumor" category right now, but if it turns out to be true it would be great for Hilary's career. She would be doing another movie that falls outside of her typical genre, and working with Cusack again - possibly forging a professional relationship that could bring about great roles in the future.
