MovieMaker’s Caleb Hammond has been all over this newly revealed Paul Verhoeven project titled “Young Sinner.” The film is said to be an Erotic Thriller set in Washington. Hammond, a reader of this site, sent over more details about the film last night.
”Young Sinner” screenwriter Ed Neumeier shared plot details with Hammond and, suffice to say, this sounds very Verhoeven-esque:
“Young Sinner is a political thriller set in Washington, D.C.,” Neumeier says. “Our heroine, a young staffer who works for a powerful Senator, is drawn into a web of international intrigue and danger, and of course there is also a little sex.”
“I really think that what Neumeier and I, at this moment, want to do with this script, Young Sinner, will be an innovative version of movies like Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct,” Verhoeven explains. “And it would not be adding all kinds of digital elements. As little as possible.”
“We have been consulting with a former intelligence officer, Ron Marks, who is trying to keep us real about Capitol Hill and the spy business, but satire always seems to emerge when Paul and I work together, so I expect our new adventure will have a light tone,” Neumeier says.
