Joel Schumacher, ostensibly known for ruining the Batman series before Christopher Nolan revived it in 2005, will be filming “Twelve” on Russel St, Sutton St and Driggs Ave tomorrow. The film, an adaptation of Nick McDonell’s novel of the same name, is the story of a young drug dealer whose high-rolling ways fall by the wayside after his cousin is murdered and his best friend is arrested for the crime. The independent film, which stars Kiefer Sutherland, Rory Culkin, Ellen Barkin, 50 Cent, Emma Roberts and Chace Crawford, is currently slated to hit theatres in 2010. Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times called the book “as fast as speed, as relentless as acid,” while Mr. Gonzo himself, Hunter S. Thompson, said McDonell “is the real thing…I’m afraid he will do for his generation what I did for mine.” If that doesn’t get you interested in this production, and running to the bookstore, I’m not sure what will. Keep your eyes peeled for production trucks on Driggs, Sutton and Russel tomorrow, and let us know if you see Jack Bauer head butting anyone.
