I don’t know about you but since Mr. Brooks I’ve taken Kevin Costner to my heart again. I was truly surprised by his excellent performance in Mr. Brooks. You haven’t seen it? What the… Go, go! See it now! And don’t come back until you have! Where was I… yes, Kevin… All my rambling about Kevin means that it’s Costner-day here at Moviemind News. On with the story: 

The Hollywood Reporter tells ut that Kevin Costner will star as a dad whose daughter begins displaying scary behavior in the Gold Circle thriller “The New Daughter.” Spanish helmer Luis Berdejo is attached to direct in his feature debut.

Costner will play John James, a single father who moves to a farm with his two kids after a painful divorce. Soon, his daughter (Ivana Baquero of “Pan’s Labyrinth“) starts behaving ominously, and Dad begins to suspect that the burial mound in a nearby field might have something to do with it. “The New Daughter” will be Baquero’s first film since starring in “Labyrinth” and marks her English-language debut.

The movie is adapted by John Travis from a story by John Connolly, published in his 2005 short fiction collection “Nocturnes.” The shootingy is set to begin in the first quarter of 2008.

To me this project just reeks of quality and craftsmanship. I have high hopes.
