Pierre Morel

Pierre Morel has been inking quite a few deals ever since his fast-paced thriller "Taken" turned into a box office hit, and one of his upcoming projects is a thriller titled "Signals" for Media Rights Capital.

Plot details are stirctly kept under wraps, but The Hollywood Reporter says the film should take on the tone of a 1970s-era paranoid thriller like "Three Days of the Condor."

Richard Potter and Matthew Stravitz penned the script, and MRC is convinced Morel is the perfect man for the job. Morel's next film, "From Paris with Love," will open Feb. 5, 2010.

Morel is also developing thrillers "Pursuit," "Hunter-Killer" and an untitled film. I really enjoyed his "Taken," even though the film was certainly no masterpiece. It sure was entertaining to watch though.
