Rob Reiner Living In the 'Shadows'

othernews1.gif Rob Reiner is switching gears, directing his first action-adventure movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Reiner, whose career had really been foundering over the past fifteen years before The Bucket List became a smash, is on board to helm Book of Shadows, which, we take it, is somehow different from the sequel to The Blair Witch Project that also bears the name.

The story goes that Reiner had a basic idea he'd been kicking around, and he brought it up in a meeting with writer Zoë Green. Green, in turn, wrote the screenplay around that idea and sold it to Castle Rock, the production house co-founded by Reiner back in the 1980s.

Here are the basics: A young male protagonist, "a perilous journey of first love" (whatever the hell that is), a dangerous quest, and a mythical book that can restore balance to the world.

Man, there was a time when few directors were making movies as entertaining as Rob Reiner flicks. I mean, from Spinal Tap to Stand By Me to Princess Bride to Misery to When Harry Met Sally to A Few Good Men - that guy had it workin'. What went wrong?
