  CANNES: Huston Shoots ‘Day of the Dead’

  EXCLUSIVE: The Robin Hood actor tells me he’s pulling together the finance to shoot Day of the Dead this year. Danny Huston has written the script himself based on Kent Harrington’s 1997 novel. Huston pitches The Day of the Dead as “a seedy tale set in Tijuana, sort of like Casablanca, about a group of ex-pats hunting for the Fat Man”. Listening to Huston’s deeply delicious voice, you can’t help but be reminded of his father John Huston, who made his own Day of the Dead story Under the Volcano.
