Gillian Anderson is in negotiations to star in "Straightheads," a dark revenge thriller that's the feature debut of acclaimed British documentary director Dan Reed. "Straightheads" is the story of a middle-class couple who embark on a spree of vengeful violence after they are assaulted by a gang. Reed has drawn on his frontline experience filming the real-life violence in Kosovo and among inner-city gangs, and transplanted those emotions into a more privileged British social milieu. Kevin Loader and Damien Jones are producing, with financing from FilmFour, the U.K. Film Council, Screen West Midlands and U.K. distrib Verve. Shooting starts in late October.
