Warren Beatty to direct new film from Paramount Pictures

Since 1998’s "Bulworth," Warren Beatty hasn’t spent any time behind the camera. This will soon change as he has committed to both direct and star in an upcoming comedy for Paramount Pictures. If that isn't enough, Beatty's also set to pen the script and produce.  

The deal was announced by Paramount’s CEO, Brad Grey, who said, “It is our privilege to have one of the great artists in the history of the film industry come home to Paramount.” (via Deadline)

Beatty helped make both “Heaven Can Wait” and “Reds” for Paramount, collecting 21 Oscar nominations between the two of them. Beatty brought home the best director award for “Reds.”
