Seymour Hoffman to direct 'Jack Goes Boating'

The great Philip Seymour Hoffman will be making his directorial debut with "Jack Goes Boating," a romantic comedy based on Bob Glaudini's Off Broadway play.

According to Variety:

"Play's described as an unconventional romantic comedy in New York City, laced with cooking classes, swimming lessons and illegal drugs."

Hoffman is also set to star in the film, along with Amy Ryan, John Ortiz and Daphne Rubin-Vega.

Overture Films is backing the project and will distribute it domestically. Shooting is set to start in New York City in February, according to the trade.

Hoffman is onscreen in the powerful "Doubt." Watch out for him in Richard Curtis' upcoming comedy "The Boat That Rocked," a film I am really looking forward to this year.

Why is Beth Cole not in this movie? What a stupid mistake!
