Ridley and Tony Scott?s production company, Scott Free Productions, returns to thrillers with Tell-Tale. The film, directed by Michael Cuesta and screenwriter Dave Callaham, is a modern-day re-imagining of the go-to story of Edgar Allen Poe?s, The Tell Tale Heart. Tell-Tale is a psychological thriller that takes the classic and sets it against modern day technology and science. The film has a 20-million-dollar budget and will shoot early next year, as casting is currently in process. Let?s hope they switch this up a bit. I can?t explain how many times I?ve heard a variation on The Tell Tale Heart.
