Seems ever since his ambitious attempt to jump start
The Dark Tower franchise on the big and small screen was shot down, Ron Howard has wasted no time attaching his name to several other movie projects. The most recent comes in the form of
364, a film written by David Guggenheim. Not much is known at this point, other than the fact that the movie will follow a character who is only blessed with super powers one day out of the year. The title refers to the number of days a year he spends thinking about what heroic deeds he will perform when that day comes. Brian Grazer will produce and Erica Huggins will be executive producer. Guggenheim recently wrote the
Denzel Washington/
Ryan Reynolds drama
Safe House.
Interesting enough, the movie is set up at Universal, the same movie studio that decided to pass on
The Dark Tower. Howard is indeed extremely busy, directing the Formula One racing drama Rush, and is also attached to
Spy vs. Spy and
Under the Banner of Heaven. What Howard's suddenly jam packed schedule means for his involvement with securing financing for
The Dark Tower is anyone's guess.
